Force update CSS change

    Hi..

    I am making live css design changes to a website, using a style.css file in a child theme.

    it usually takes a while to refresh, even if I force refresh the browser. Is there something I can do to make the .css file force refresh itself?

    Thanks..

    The delay could be due to any caching plugin or service you might be using. Updating the cache after editing might make a difference.

    thanks.. though this seem to be a general issue, or the general norm, rather than a bug/specific problem/something effected by plugins etc.

    I have managed to make it force refresh before when not using a child theme by adding some code to the css link in the header…

    But the theme I am using doesn’t seem to have a CSS link in the header… (I could edit the header.php file in the child theme or directly)

    So I am muddling around looking for a solution.. really it may be a case of locating the link to the css file..

    Check with your hosting providers to see if they’re caching your website, if the cache isn’t caused by a plugin or theme.
