# CSS-changes do not work

 * I want to change the h1-site but my changes in the css-files (style.css and/or
   style.min.css and/or child-theme-style.css) have no effect (FF, IE, not a caching
   problem). The child-theme-style.css itself seems to be ok, because your fix for
   my read-more-button-problem works.
 * Here´s my child-theme-style.css:
 * /*
    Theme Name: ignite-plus-child Template: ignite-plus */
 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../ignite-plus/style.
   min.css”);
 * /* =Theme customization starts here
    ————————————————————– */
 * .more-link {
    clear: both; }

 * So this doesn’t work:
 *     ```
       body {
        border: 10px solid red !important;
       }
       ```

 * beautiful 😉
 * How do I reduce the h1-Size? I copied all the h1 to h6-lines to the child-theme-
   style.css and changed for exmaple:
 * h1 {
    font-size: 2.625em; /* 42px / 16px */ line-height: 1.143; }
 * to
 * h1 {
    font-size: 0.625em; /* 42px / 16px */ line-height: 1.143; } without any
   effect.

 * Maybe you need to use more specific selectors, you can use [Firebug ](http://getfirebug.com/)
   to find this stuff out

 * Obviously the css-files of this responsive theme are quite complex (for me). 
   I did change all the “2.625em”s in the file to “0,625” and getting small headlines
   in big browser-windows. I will try to understand the structure and to manipulate
   the right sections of the file. Thanks for your help.

 * Hi, this is all very new to me. I downloaded the The child-theme-style for ignite
   plus but my accent colours are only partly changing. Some are still remaining
   the yellow colour on the right side bar.. Please help!

 * You don’t need to use a child theme or touch the CSS to change the colors with
   Ignite Plus. There is a Colors section in the customizer with a color picker 
   you can use.
 * If the color picker is not changing all the colors on your site, could you link
   me to your site so I can check it out?

 * Thanks for the response.. So therefore don’t I need I child theme with ignite
   plus?

 * Nope 🙂
 * Ignite Plus is a different theme, so once uploaded and activated on your site
   all of its features become available.
 * A child theme can certainly be used for further modification, but it is not necessary.
