Custom CSS editing – changes not being saved

    Hi,
    just updated to the new WordPress and now wanted to edit some code in my custom CSS. It’s in a new layout, which I don’t care about, but edits are not being saved. What’s happening? I can change the code, but it won’t save it.
    I remember that a while back I had to add some code in order to edit the custom CSS… perhaps that was overwritten with the last update?
    Thanks,
    Clemens

    If this is a cache issue, try flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Not just your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well such as Cloudflare. If your host provider has a “Purge Varnish” option or if you can ask your provider to flush memcache on your server.

    I might not be understanding your question correctly, but if you’re making changes to your style.css, all those changes will be deleted when you update your theme if you aren’t using a child theme.

    If you are using a child theme and are still experiencing this problem, then I’m sorry but I can’t help 🙁

    Regards

    I doubt it’s a cache issue. When I enter the code on the page (in the editor) I can enter it, then I leave the page and come back to it the code is the old one again. It’s not saving the changes, even though I press ‘save & publish’.
    I have tried both the “Additional CSS” area and editing directly in the editor (editing the CSS directly) it does not work.

    to rule out any theme/plugins specific issue, try:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    I went through the exercise and still no change. Jetpack or WordPress (?) does not let me save changes to my CSS.
