# CSS changes not taking effect

 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to change the colors of some text elements in the registration form.
   More specifically I want to change the confirmation text next to the privacy 
   policy checkbox. However, even though I seemed to have found the right css selector(
   by inspecting the page) the changes won’t take effect. I’ve tried to put the 
   code inside the elementor module itself and also in the general wordpress css
   editor.
 * I’ve tried with:
 * .um-field-checkbox-option, .um-field-radio-option {
    margin: 0px 0px 0px 36px;
   line-height: 24px; color: #fff !important; display: block; }
 * I’ll attach a link to a screenshot so you can see. I guess, there is some higher
   class css code that prevents the text from changing color to white? How do I 
   get the changes to be applied? Btw you can’t right click on the page, you need
   to press ctrl+shift+c in order to inspect it.

   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@rbamm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rbamm/)
 * Could you please try adding this to your theme’s style.css or CSS customizer?
 *     ```
       span.um-field-checkbox-option {
           color: #fff !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Ensure that you clear your browser cache after adding the CSS code to reflect
   the changes when you test it.

 * Thank you very much, it worked! Strangely enough I had already used that exact
   code, but then it didn’t work. Maybe it was because I hadn’t emptied the cache,
   but then again other codes did take effect directly even though I hadn’t emptied
   it. I also put the code a bit higher up among the other codes. I don’t know if
   the order of the codes matter, but anyways, it seems to work now, so thanks!
