# CSS not working

 * I’ve had this problem with my theme for sometime already.
    When I create a css
   rule in my style.css file or custom.css file, it doesn’t work on my pages.
 * For example, I have created div class for my image on my post. I add the div 
   around my image, but for some reason it does not take the rule from my css file.
   I did try “!important”, etc,. but nothing.
    Also, I checked with Firebug, and
   it seems that for some reason it cannot detect the rule on the .css file, even
   my marking is correct.
 * I’ve been creating inline css styles for my pages and posts to get my styling
   to work, but I know this is not the proper way to do it.
    Any ideas??

 * I think you have to tell us more for us to know why it doesen’t work. Link to
   Live page, are you using a theme, child theme, made your own theme.
