 * Thanks Salvy,
 * Tried it but it didn’t work.
 * Also tried clearing the cache too to see if that would make a difference but 
   it didn’t.
 * I seem to have a recurring problem where I can only make changes to my website
   by going into the ftp. The custom css for both child theme and the option within
   my theme seem to do very little.
 * It’s been suggested before this might be a problem with a caching plugin (I used
   to have a few installed), but I’m pretty sure I’ve deactivated them all now and
   deleted any rogue code I could find for them.
 * Is there anything I can do within ftp to make these changes?
 * I know it’s better to have a child theme for when the theme updates, but most
   of my custom css is in there anyway and I know how to copy it over using WinMerge
   when needed.
 * Would really appreciate any further thoughts.
 * Thanks Salvy
 * Thanks
