# Style not taking effect

 * This seems to not be working somehow.
 * I have the following colour on my theme now (as per inspect element):
 * .page-wrap .content-wrapper {
    background-color: #230005; }
 * I tried changing this colour on the editor sheet in the theme dashboard, in the
   child style.css and even on the original stylesheet of the theme. Nothing works
   which is bizarre. But if I want to preview the change, it works fine when I change
   it up on Inspect Element. I don’t understand what’s happening and it’s driving
   me nutts. Can anyone help?

 * Hello Saiqua,
 * Please try this-
 * .page-wrap .content-wrapper {
    background-color: #230005 !important; }
 * If the above css did not work for you, then pass the site url so i can provide
   you custom css as per the need.
 * Kind regards,
 * Manoj

 * hi Manoj,
 * Tried this on the editor and the child theme style.css. It did not work. I have
   not yet made the site public. But let me get back to you once I do so. May take
   me a few days as I need to fill up some more material in the site before i make
   it public. But I’ll definitely come back for this. However if you have something
   else you can suggest, it’d be great. I’ll keep an eye out on this thread and 
   get back to you once I have the site made public.
 * Thanks again!
