 * Hi, I’ve downloaded, installed and activated the child theme for Ignite, however
   the CSS change i’m trying to make isn’t applied.
 * I’d like to modify the size of primary menu:
 * .`menu-primary-items a,
    .menu-unset a { text-transform: capitalize; letter-spacing:
   0; font-size: 80%; }` while this works if I enter it into the customizer and 
   then the CSS section and also works if I place this within the Ignite Parent 
   CSS.
 * Any assistance would be of great help!

 * Can you please post a link to your site so we can see why the CSS you’re using
   isn’t working? It could be that the selectors that you are using don’t have a
   high enough specificity. Thanks.

 * Of course, sorry.
 * I used from the snippet.

 * I’m using Chrome Dev Tools to examine your site, and it looks like your child
   theme’s CSS is working. Although, instead of a font-size of 80%, I see the font-
   size set to 132% in the CSS file. The text of the main menu items seem to be 
   large, and the spacing also appears to be 0. Was there something specifically
   that you think should be different?

 * Interesting. I was using firefox and brave dev tools and wasn’t seeing the change
   from 80% to 132 as i was just testing. Seems like it was taking quite some time
   for those updates to apply. Any reason for this? If applied within the customizer,
   changes are made almost instantly.
 * Appears nothing is wrong with using the Child CSS as i thought, just replication
   is taking quite long.

 * And I fixed it! Didn’t realize that Site Ground had site cache turned on by default
   so replication was taking longer than normal. Flushed cache and turned off. Changes
   now appear promptly.
