 * Hi there,
 * I cannot change my CSS on my .org site. I’ve used the child editor, as well as
   the main editor, and nothing changes. Specifically, I’d like to change the color
   of the text area and the fonts. I’ve made these changes and none of them apply.
 * My web site is wisterians.com and I am running the Inkhive theme.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Brooke

 * Hey there lucysnow77,
 * Hope you’re well! 🙂
 * Try this code to put in your child theme’s style.css:
 *     ```
       .contact-form textarea {
           background: #FCFBE3;
       }
       ```
   
 * What font do you want to use instead? Make sure that the font you want to use
   is already linked. Read this answer from Stackoverflow to gave you idea on how
   to use web font: [http://stackoverflow.com/a/12144181/3152290](http://stackoverflow.com/a/12144181/3152290)
 * Let me know if it helps! 🙂
 * Take care,
    Calvin

 * Thanks, Calvin. I appreciate it. I just tried putting the code into the child
   theme and into the editor, and just like before, nothing changes. It’s not cookies–
   my browser is refreshing and I’m checking on multiple computers. I seem to not
   be able to change anything. I’m completely at a loss. (I was trying to use this
   font: ‘Josefin Slab’, serif;

 * This CSS looks like it’s invalid – where did you get “textarea” from?
 *     ```
       textarea {
           color: #fcfbe3;
           font-size: 1.6rem;
           line-height: 1.5;
       }
       ```

 * I haven’t done anything recently but type in new fonts and hex colors. It is 
   possible I tried something months ago when I was first trying to change this.
 * I just deleted it from the child theme and, I believe, from the editor and… nothing
   changed.

 * You might want to check your child theme and see if it’s actually pulling from
   the child theme’s stylesheet for the admin styles. It might still be pulling 
   from the parent theme.
