Title: not showing css changes Last modified: April 20, 2019 --- # not showing css changes * [kallard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallard/) * (@kallard) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-showing-css-changes/) * I have had the same look for the calendar for a while, but decided to go in and fool with settings. I switched the theme from twentyeighteen to refresh. * Regardless of the theme though, I have tried to make a few very minor changes, one at a time, to see if I am doing it correctly and to view. * I started by trying to change the background color of different parts, but saw no changes after I refreshed (I did also purge the cache). * Am I missing some step I need to do to alter the look of the calendar? * So, for example, I like the refresh theme, but would like to center a couple things, change the button color for previous and next, and give a little more padding to the events shown on month and week view. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fnot-showing-css-changes%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Thread Starter [kallard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallard/) * (@kallard) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-showing-css-changes/#post-11450169) * In addition, when I changed the theme for the calendar, the footer widget suddenly displayed the date information in grey, while the event itself is in white. * Previously, it was all white. * I am using Divi and went in to change the colors in the theme customizer, but it didn’t respond for the color I selected for text. It DID respond to change the color of the links, title, and bullets, so not sure how to change that. * Nevermind on this part. I fixed it through the actual widget settings. - This reply was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by [kallard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallard/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by [kallard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallard/). * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-showing-css-changes/#post-11451769) * No, from what you’re describing you’re making changes in the expected way. There’s nothing more you should need to do. If you can tell me a specific change you’ve made that isn’t showing, I can take a look to try and see what’s happening. * Thread Starter [kallard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallard/) * (@kallard) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-showing-css-changes/#post-11451822) * Well, even though I tried multiple things, I thought I figured it out because I did not put in the page id where the CSS needed to be applied. But it still didn’t work. * So, everything should be the default except for the current day color, which I changed to a green color, but it still shows yellow. * [https://vistagrandeelementary.com/my-calendar/](https://vistagrandeelementary.com/my-calendar/) - This reply was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by [kallard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallard/). * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-showing-css-changes/#post-11452149) * OK – it’s a specificity & ordering issue. Your color declaration for .current- day is being overridden by the color setting for .weekend, which is still set to be yellow. * If you increase the specificity for current-day, you should get what you want, e.g.: * `.mc-main .current-day span.mc-date` * Thread Starter [kallard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallard/) * (@kallard) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-showing-css-changes/#post-11452189) * Still didn’t work. It is like something is overriding the entire thing. I don’t know if it is a Divi thing or something else. * Thread Starter [kallard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallard/) * (@kallard) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-showing-css-changes/#post-11453906) * I also tried adding !important and that did not work either. * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-showing-css-changes/#post-11459976) * I see that you’ve switched to using the CSS variables for color definitions – that can definitely be an easier way to go. * I can’t say for sure what’s going on for you – with a high degree of specificity and !important, your styles should definitely be taking effect.
