Ok so I figured it out. It turns out I had to install a separate plugin called cryout serious theme settings to change things like font color and size and stuff. They had to remove those settings from the standard customize bar after a WordPress update or something.

I got it working now, but I still don’t get why my CSS wasn’t working.

https://wordpress.org/themes/mantra/

Here you go. I want to change the title. The thing that says “Worth a thousand words”

Here’s how I’m trying to do that.

h2.entry-title {
	color:green;
	font-family:sans-serif;
	text-shadow:none;
}

I tried removing the “style.css” and it made my website not work. Can someone let me in on what the syntax should look like? I should probably learn some php.

Would I get better results if I learned to manually set up a local server instead of using MAMP?

Still not working. Just the old black and white background.

Why does using MAMP affect whether .css loads or not?

Tried copying and pasting your code. Still no dice 🙁

I tried copy pasting the code into functions.php Unfortunately it turned everything into raw html. I then looked at some other .php files (I’m really not familiar with PHP, I only know HTML and CSS)
and realized they had <?php and ?> in between a lot of stuff. So I tried doing that so it looked like this

<?php
function twenty_sixteen_child_enqueue_styles() {

    $parent_style = 'twentysixteen';

    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'twenty-sixteen-child',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style )
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'twenty_sixteen_child_enqueue_styles' );
?>

Still no dice. My web page still has the blank white styling to it.

I found it. It was under “appearance.” I guess. It worked in changing the font. Why does it not work when I do the same edit in Sublime Text 2? I’d prefer to use that program since I already have to use it to find the class I’m looking for.
