 * I selected the “Use External CSS” box and pasted the CSS into my theme’s stylesheet.
   Once I do this though, the button stops working and degrades to a simple text
   link. Any ideas what’s going on?
 * Thanks!

 * Do you have any caching enabled on your site? Sometimes that prevents the correct
   CSS from being shown. Also, do you have a link to the page?

 * I do have caching enable but not when I’m logged in as an admin, and all the 
   other stylesheet edits I’ve made recently appear instantly. I don’t think that’s
   the problem unless I’m missing something.
 * Here is the page: [http://sawtoothguides.com/home-page-new-gallery/](http://sawtoothguides.com/home-page-new-gallery/).
   You can see the unstyled link just below the page title. I do have caching/CDN
   enabled but if you login with this subscriber account it will serve the non-cached
   pages with non-minified CSS. Username/password: temp/temp123
 * Thanks so much for the help, really appreciate it.
