 * Good morning,
 * I’m trying to add additional CSS for one of the menu items to highlight it. When
   I click customise and add it in the additional CSS section, I can see the change
   take place. However, when I select publish and refresh the page, the update does
   not go live.
 * Can you please tell me how to resolve this?
 * Thanks,
 * Bharghavi

 * Hello There!
 * Hope you are doing good!
 * we have checked the code of your website and found out that /*” added in the 
   code which is being used to comment the code so you will need to remove that 
   and most probably it is coming from customizer custom CSS.
 * Hope this helps!
 * Have a great weekend ahead.
 * Regards.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your response. I commented it out because it was not working anyway.
   Even after I remove the comments, it still doesn’t work. It works in preview 
   mode but after publishing and refreshing the page, it disappears. Please see 
   attached screenshots for more details:

 * Any help you can provide would really be appreciated.

   I have archived your reply and flagged your account for moderation. _Do not ask
   for access to user’s sites again_.
 * While I know you have the best of intentions, it’s forum policy that you _not_
   ask users for admin or server access. Users on the forums aren’t your customers,
   they’re your open source collaborators, and requesting that kind of access can
   put you and them at high risk.
 * If they _are_ paying customers (such as people who bought a premium service/product
   from you) then by all means, direct them to your official customer support system.
   But in all other cases, you need to help them here on the forums.
 * Thankfully are other ways to get information you need:
    - Ask the user to install the [Health Check plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/health-check/)
      and get the data that way.
    - Ask for a link to the [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/) or [https://gist.github.com](https://gist.github.com)
      log of the user’s web server error log.
    - Ask the user to create and post a link to their `phpinfo();` output.
    - Walk the user through [enabling WP_DEBUG and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file.](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
    - Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other
      plugins, clear their cache and cookies and try again (the Health Check plugin
      can do this without impacting any site vistors).
    - Ask the user for the step-by-step directions on how they can reproduce the
      problem.
 * You get the idea.
 * We know volunteer support is not easy, and this guideline can feel needlessly
   restrictive. It’s actually there to protect you as much as end users. Should 
   their site be hacked or have any issues after you accessed it, you could be held
   legally liable for damages. In addition, it’s difficult for end users to know
   the difference between helpful developers and people with malicious intentions.
   Because of that, we rely on plugin developers and long-standing volunteers (like
   you) to help us and uphold this particular guideline.
 * When you help users _here_ and in public, you also help the next person with 
   the same problem. They’ll be able to read the debugging and solution and educate
   themselves. That’s how we get the next generation of developers.

 * Hello Jan,
 * Thank you for sharing the guidelines.
 * I was unaware of it and I just have tried to provide a better solution to the
   client from the platform itself however I will keep this in my mind and will 
   not ask clients to share the admin credentials.
 * I have given another answer to provide the solution in which I have not asked
   for any credentials but that answer also got deleted. Is there any way to get
   it back?
 * Again, thanks for guiding us.
 * Regards.

 * Hello,
 * Although CSS and WordPress might appear simple on the surface, customizing aren’t
   always easy. The problem can be caused by the fact that WordPress is a sequential
   system of enqueuing. When creating a plugin or theme it is something developers
   must be aware of. They can make sure that the issue is not present by ensuring
   that they properly process the CSS. There are additional styles that are possible
   to specify and can create more issues. A manual check is the most effective solution.
   You can also queue CSS files based on your needs. I am also facing the problem
   with CSS and I tried many of CSS editor WordPress plugin but it can’t work. I
   don’t know why. After then i just restart the WordPress of my [omegle tv](https://omegle.us.org/)
   website and it will works fine.
