 * I’ve tried everything. Changed the permissions in index.php both in my theme,
   the theme’s directory and wp-content and nothing happens. It’s still not accepting
   my changes. What can I do?

 * Can you please post a link to your site? What did you try changing? What theme
   are you using?
 * Just as a note of caution: you should not be making changes to the theme files
   directly. If the theme gets updated because of feature enhancements, bug fixes,
   or security patches, or if the theme has to be updated because of a change to
   the WordPress core, then your changes will be lost. Instead, either create a 
   [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) and make changes to the
   child theme’s style.css file, or use a CSS plugin like Jetpack or [Custom CSS Manager](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/)
   and write your overriding rules that way.

 * My site is [http://comics.oubilettestudio.net](http://comics.oubilettestudio.net)
 * I am trying to change the custom css page to add the thumbnails of my characters
   through comic easel. According to a tutorial, I need to add
    .character-slug{
   background: url(‘thumbnail location’) top center no-repeat;
 * for each character in the CSS Stylesheet Editor which I think it’s the one from
   jetpack, I’m not sure since I don’t remember how I ended up adding it in the 
   first place.
 * I could add the first thumbnail without problem, but the rest of the changes 
   are not being saved by it.

 * I have realized that it is the jetpack plugin I’m using. It only lets me add 
   2 lines of css, period. Anymore, and they don’t get saved.

 * That’s very strange, I’ve never had any problems with the number of lines that
   JetPack allows me to save. Can you try installing [Custom CSS Manager](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/)?
   It’s the CSS plugin that I use most often and it’s pretty reliable.

 * Hi, thanks. Just tried that. Now it saves the code, but it still doesn’t display
   the images. I’d think it’s a theme problem if it wasn’t because I’ve seen others
   do exactly what I want it to do.

 * OK, the problem is that you are leaving the closing right-brace } off your CSS
   rules. For example, change this:
 *     ```
       .character-maria {
          background: url('http://comics.oubilettestudio.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Maria.jpg') top center no-repeat;
       ```
   
 * to this:
 *     ```
       .character-maria {
          background: url('http://comics.oubilettestudio.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Maria.jpg') top center no-repeat;
       }
       ```
   
 * Once you add the ending right brace on all of the rules, you should see your 
   images. Maybe that’s why JetPack wouldn’t let you save more than two lines, because
   you were missing the right brace from the first rule.

 * Oh, thank you!
 * I copied the code straight from the tutorial, never realized that there was a
   bracket missing.
 * That solved the issue, thank you very much.
