 * Please help – I can’t find any answers on the web and it’s driving me crazy!!
 * I have W3 Installed and am also using Amazon Cloudfront CDN (my server runs it
   I don’t have access to the Cloudfront settings).
 * None of the changes I make in CSS take effect, either in style.css or custom.
   css.
 * Even after 24 hours I don’t see the changes.
 * I have minify disabled except for JS, I have page caching via apc disabled, I
   have style.css and custom.css in the box “never minify the following files”.
 * Do I need to completely deactivate the plugin to make CSS changes? And for how
   long because when I tried this for a short period it didn’t help.
 * Thank you!!!

 * Resolved! In the W3 settings, I added style.css and custom.css to Performance
   >CDN>Rejected files and the changes rendered.

 * My server supplied the answer.
 * Under CDN I have to remove cdn.mysite.com from “Replace site’s hostname with:”

 * Actually that’s not a good solution either as when I reactivated the CDN the 
   CSS changes were lost again.
 * Now I’ve unchecked “Host Theme Files” in the W3 CDN settings and that seems to
   be working.
