 * I can make changes to the templates, but when I make a change to the actual css
   stylesheet, and update / save it, it doesn’t take effect. I even DELETED it, 
   as a test (backed up, of course), and there were still no changes applied to 
   the site. It should have vanished!
 * Is it not possible to apply changes to the css stylesheet, only the templates?
 * Thanks.

 * do you clear your browser cache by pressing ctrl + f5?
 * Are you sure your theme doesn’t offload to other css sheets besides style?

 * Where would I locate other css sheets?
 * Everything appears located in the “editor” – templates and css sheet. Templates
   I can change, apply changes and see changes in the borowser (no cache emptying
   issues). The css sheet, listed below the templates, I can change and update, 
   but the changes don’t show.
 * Like I said, I actually DELETED the whole thing as a test, and it had no effect,
   so clearly something is wrong. Either you cannot edit css (that’ll be a nightmare)
   or I need to do something else.
 * I’m using the “Funky Green” theme.

 * IF there are any extra stylesheets…and they are in folders in your theme. It 
   would not appear in your theme editor.
 * It’s easy to see if there are additional stylesheets by viewing your source code
   of your site from in a browser. Or giving a link so we can look
 * Other than that, do you have any sort of caching plugin?

 * Really don’t know what a caching plugin is.
 * I wasn’t sure about posting links, but I’ll do so:

 * It’s very foetal, only went up yesterday.
 * The stylesheet appears located here:
 * wp-content/themes/funky-green/style.css
 * I downloaded it to my PC from my FTP (it’s the same as the version in my Editor),
   changed it, uploaded it…still nothing.
 * You’ll note that I’ve gutted the template if you compare to the original. Templates
   edit just fine, but the bloody css doesn’t.

 * Well, this is odd. I just refreshed, and the change I was after, getting rid 
   of dotted lines below and above the title, appears to have happened. I replaced
   an image on the right that apeeared to worsen the problem, and the lines are 
   still invisible (I changed their grey colour to white).
 * Could there be a long delay before css changes are implemented?

 * there shouldn’t be, if you refresh your browser cache by pressing ctrl + f5
 * but it’s possible
 * Also, when you visit your stylesheet from the browser…
    [http://reputable-casinos-online.com/wp-content/themes/funky-green/style.css](http://reputable-casinos-online.com/wp-content/themes/funky-green/style.css)
 * by visiting that url, do you see your changes in the text?

 * Very odd. I put in a change, and it immediately took effect. Then I undid it…
   and it took a minute or so.
 * Time must be a bit variable.
 * Not sure why that is, but it seems I can fix the css now. Fingers crossed. Thanks,
   Rev Voodoo.
