 * Hi,
 * Thanks for this great plugin!
 * I am trying to customise the colour of the title, and add a background image 
   in the title.
 * I added this to the stylesheet of my theme, but no changes occurred:
 * .accordion-title {
    color: #13C4a5; background-image: url(“path/to/closed/new.
   jpg”); }
 * I’d appreciate any help. Thanks!

 * Is it possible to get a link to the page so I can take a closer look?

 * Hi Phil,
 * Sure! Please note that this website is a work in progress, not much in terms 
   of content.

 * Also, I copied a previous code you had to add +/- and it shows a Σ instead of
   a -. My code altogether is:
 * .accordion-title {
    color: #13C4a5; background-image: url(“path/to/closed/new.
   jpg”); }
 * .accordion-title:after {
    content: “+”; float: right; }
 * .accordion-title.open:after {
    content: “-“; }
 * Thanks!

 * The “-” issue has to do with what you have in the `content: "-";` Try using this
   instead: `content: "\2212";`.
 * As for the color, the issue is that your theme has a more specific selector which
   is overriding your color setting: `.post-content h3`. You’ll have to over specify
   yours to make this work. Try something like `.post-content .accordion-title` 
   and let me know if that works.
 * Edit:
 * Full CSS to try:
 *     ```
       .post-content .accordion-title {
         color: #13C4a5;
         background-image: url("path/to/closed/new.jpg");
       }
   
       .accordion-title:after {
         content: "+";
         float: right;
       }
   
       .accordion-title.open:after {
         content: "\2212";
       }
       ```

 * Thanks for getting back to me.
 * The minus issue is solved, but the font color did not change. I did not try the
   background image, since color has the priority.

 * Alright. When all else fails try this:
 *     ```
       .post-content .accordion-title {
         color: #13C4a5 !important;
         background-image: url("path/to/closed/new.jpg");
       }
       ```

 * Hmm. It looks like the page you linked to above isn’t working anymore. Could 
   you provide an updated link so I can take another look?

 * even weirder, the font text has now magically changed color and I did not do 
   anything special! It looks as if there is some delay in updating the code
 * Well, I guess my case has been solved! Thanks, for your help!

 * Could be a caching issue. Either way, glad to hear it is resolved!
