 * Hello
 * I’m working on personal project and changing some css code to look like I want.
   
   I’m putting all CSS changes in Advanced Settings but Ican’t make any :before 
   and :after action.
 * Could you please help me and tell how can I do that.

 * I think there is problem with single and double qoutes because only have problem
   when I’m using that in advanced setting CSS
 * Could you please direct me what could I do because I tried shutting down all 
   plugins, also Virtue plugin and nothing changed,made some really small changes
   in php that couldn’t make any error in css. I know I’m not using premium theme
   but any help would be good because I can’t do any CSS animation I would like 
   to apply.

 * Hey,
    The theme options css has a validator to protect the database a little.
   It’s possible it’s stripping out your quotes.
 * I suggest using a child theme and that css file, Or a plugin that writes a file
   like: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
 * I’ll look into updating in the future and opening up the css file for quotes.
