 * Hello,
 * I have a multisite WP instalation.
 * 3 websites:
    [http://www.zegmaarmanu.be](http://www.zegmaarmanu.be) –> language
   selector [http://www.zegmaarmanu.be/nl](http://www.zegmaarmanu.be/nl) –> DUTCH
   version [http://www.zegmaarmanu.be/fr](http://www.zegmaarmanu.be/fr) –> FRENCH
   version
 * as network administrator I network activated a theme across all 3 websites.
 * I wanted to modify the CSS & the only way I can do this is by going to network
   admin / themes / editor.
 * What I noticed is that the CSS-modifications aren’t loaded across the different
   websites… I can’t see the changes enywhere..
 * The same goes for modifications to plugin CSS…
 * Can anybody help? What am I doing wrong?
 * Thanks in advance for your help!
    Manu

 * 1. Are you 100% sure the CSS file has not been cached? Try loading the CSS files
   specific path. It may be different for you depending on the install location.
 * Example: [http://www.your-domain.com/wp-content/themes/theme-name/style.css](http://www.your-domain.com/wp-content/themes/theme-name/style.css)
 * Once it has loaded in the browser in plain text identify the change you made.
   Reload your WordPress page see if it appears correct.
 * 2. Your theme has several CSS files. Are you sure you are adapting the correct
   file?
 * 3. Have you tried using the “Edit CSS” option under the appearance menu?
 * good luck!

 * Hello, thanks for your reply.
 * I edited the css as followed:
 * i go to the network admin backend / Themes / editor / stylesheet
 * As you sugested, I went to:
    [http://zegmaarmanu.be/nl/wp-content/themes/suburbs/style.css](http://zegmaarmanu.be/nl/wp-content/themes/suburbs/style.css)
 * where all modifications are OK.
 * However, the website seems to be using [http://zegmaarmanu.be/nl/wp-content/themes/suburbs/style.css?ver=4.0](http://zegmaarmanu.be/nl/wp-content/themes/suburbs/style.css?ver=4.0)
   where modifications aren’t visible… That seems to be the problem… I don’t know
   why this css?ver=4.0 is used and why this version hasn’t got the needed modifications…
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thanks again!

 * Yes, I think your css file is caching somewhere. I looked at your hosting and
   you use siteground? I know they have special caching settings that cache certain
   files.
 * Try logging into your cpanel, click on the super cacher icon, and make sure all
   caches are disabled, then flush all caches, then try again, you can turn the 
   caching back on once you’ve made your css edits.
 * If that doesn’t work, are you using any caching plugins?
