 * Hi,
 * I’m working in my staging site and trying to change the margin on the description
   of a givewp multistep form and it is not working. I tried the instructions provided.
   You can see here the recommended php code I’m adding using the snippets plugin.
   For now, I’m just testing by trying to make the text red. Do you have any idea
   why it’s not working?

 * Hi there,
 * The CSS is incorrect. You are defining a value but no parameter. Red what? Background?
   Text?…
 * Try something like this instead:
 * `p { color: red !important; }`
 * Hope it helps!
