Hi,

I am using GD Framework as a parent theme and I have the child theme activate in my site, so I can change the design.
Started with some basic changes for the header, I’ve added the necessary code in style.css but the changes won’t reflect.
And the most interesting part is that when checking with the inspector it won’t show the new code at all, so the problem is not that’s overwritten by the parent theme.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Hi Kat, did you erase your browser’s cache? could you give us your url and the modification you’re trying to do so we can check?
thanks,
S.

Hi Kat, i tried to add this
```
.header { background:#dadada; }
```
to test the behavior and it works (it changed to a header with a grey background, now reverted to the default).

It would be more helpful if you could tell me what are you trying to do (or what code are you using in the style.css), so I can help you out,
S.

Hi,

The second line of your css is missing the closing }
```
body{background:#ecf0f1;color:#5d5f5e;font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4;
```
That is making all lines below useless.

Thx

Sorry, somehow I posted before finishing last night. Luckily Paolo picked it up.
Of course you can make all those changes using the GDF options directly from the Admin.

@Simone @guust God! I feel so stupid! And I checked my code multiple times. I guess when you start panicking you’re missing the obvious.
Thank you very much.
