 * I am trying to add custom css to a page. I have been successful in the past and
   today it just stopped working. It’s almost like wordpress doesn’t recognize any
   elements anymore (or pages for that matter).
   Typically, when entering .page-id-
   905 the text would turn black and #hero__content would be blue. Now both are 
   in red. I have tried copying the selector through devtools and that doesn’t fix
   it either.I have other custom css listed just above this that works just fine.
   However, if I type the exact same thing below the working css, it is also red.
 * /_About Us Hero Text Color_/
   .page-id-905 #hero__content {color: #27323f;text-
   shadow: 1px 1px 1px #fff;}

 * Hello,
 * There appears to be a small syntax error in your CSS code. In CSS, comments are
   written like this:
 * /* About Us Hero Text Color */
 * You can either remove the comment entirely or update it as shown above. Doing
   so should help resolve the issue you’re facing.
