 * I have some trouble when using the Custom CSS in Attitude Themes options.
 * I added just this code to change the color of certain texts but nothing happen:
 *     ```
       body, input, textarea {
       	color: #400A06;
       }
   
       h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
       	color: #BF1F12;
       }
   
       more-link {
       	color: #18FF7C;
       }
       ```
   
 * It was working before so I tried to desactivate all other plugins I installed
   but I still have the same problem… An idea?

 * Use the right selector, see this CSS specificity

 * Also, the `more-link` is missing a dot in front of it.

 * Oh yes right the more-link is now working fine.
    But I cannot change h1 and body
   for example… To change them I am forced to create the child theme then?

 * No, it’s not child theme or custom css option, it’s the CSS specificity issue,
   see details in the link provided.
