 * Hey there,
    As you can see here: [http://www.mfdevco.com/solutions/](http://www.mfdevco.com/solutions/)
   The child theme is being called in the head:
 * `<link rel="stylesheet" id="x-child-css" href="http://www.mfdevco.com/wp-content/
   themes/x-child/style.css?ver=4.0.7" type="text/css" media="all">`
 * But for some reason when I inspect element the changes aren’t showing, this is
   all that’s in my Child CSS file:
 *     ```
       /*
   
       Theme Name: X &ndash; Child Theme
       Theme URI: http://theme.co/x/
       Author: Themeco
       Author URI: http://theme.co/
       Description: Make all of your modifications to X in this child theme.
       Version: 1.0.0
       Template: x
   
       */
   
       li.x-nav-tabs-item.active a {
           color: #fff !important;
           box-shadow: none;
           background: #000 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * All help appreciated!

 * Your style: `body {display none}` is actually working, so what is the problem
   specifically?
