 * I am a beginner and trying to learn how to edit using a child theme. I’ve tried
   the first method using “custom.css” with the same outcome. I’m trying to test
   if it will work but nothing happens when I insert a code in “style.css”. I activated
   the child theme and the code above is in my “style.css” (child theme folder).
   
   Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * Please provide site URL first.
 * As we looked its working well on our **“Child-Theme”**.
 * So please use any **“Custom CSS”** plugin from WordPress directory.
 * and paste your CSS code into **“Custom CSS”** editor and save the changes.
 * If possible to provide a **“Screen-Shot”**.
 * Let us know for further assistance.
 * Thank You

    I was able to change
   the text color of the footer using custom css plugin. Do you recommend using 
   custom css plugin instead of a child theme?

           height: 43px;
           width: 43px;
           position: fixed;
           bottom: 20px;
           right: 20px;
           background: #13896b url(images/hm-top-arrow.svg) no-repeat center 50%;
           visibility: hidden;
           opacity: 0;
           z-index: 1;
           -webkit-transform: translateZ(0);
       }
       ```
   
 * I tried to change the color and it loses the white arrow when I do so using custom
   css
