 * Hi, I’m not a CSS expert and I was changing my theme with wordpress editor. I
   modified the style.css:
 *     ```
       .site-header {
       	background: #fff url(images/lines-vertical.png);
       	background-size: 3px 1px;
       	box-shadow: 0 0 10px #222;
       	margin: 0 auto;
       	max-width: 1140px;
       	padding: 40px;
       ```
   
 * max-width: 1140px;——-> max-width: 940px;
 * After my header has narrowed, and i tryed immediately to revert to the original
   but it’s still restricted.
    I also checked out the original file of the theme
   and copied that part of the text but not back more as before.
 * How can I do?

 * Looks like a cache issue _“Cache is the worst enemy of any web developer”_
 * Try delete the cache of your browser more times that im willing to admit y make
   a change and it seems not working and it was because the cache.

 * Thanks for the reply, I also tried previously to empty the cache. I also tried
   changing the browser but nothing.
    I am going crazy.

 * Well i notice this let me know is this a exact copy of what you have y your css?
   
   because if so.
 * .site-header {
    background: #fff url(images/lines-vertical.png); background-size:
   3px 1px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px #222; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 1140px; padding:
   40px;
 * Where is the closing key? ——-> } <———-
 * your code should look like this
 * .site-header {
    background: #fff url(images/lines-vertical.png); background-size:
   3px 1px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px #222; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 1140px; padding:

 * Closing key is ok.
 * I noticed something strange: if I open the page with the Firefox CSS analysis
   tools i see header size value always 940px. I tried then with Chrome and it is
   the same 940px. It ‘s like WordPress does not pass the new information to the
   site….

 * Try add !important on your css params this will force the browser to do it
 * .site-header {
    background: #fff url(images/lines-vertical.png); background-size:
   3px 1px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px #222; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 1140px !important;
   <—————like this padding: 40px; }

 * !important have no effects
 * After hours and hours of frustration i finally found the cause of the problem.
   
   The problem was given by my cloudfire service (web caching): [https://www.cloudflare.com/](https://www.cloudflare.com/)
 * I remembered it and it was enough to make a cache refresh and the site is updated.
 * Practically from the outside it was connected to the file in the cloudflare cache.
   
   I have always had strong doubts about this service (provided me with Railgun 
   from my hosting service) and yet I did not understand exactly how functions but
   I read that updates the cache every 4 hours (it was more or less the time of 
   my anger).
 * Place an image of fix button to help others in my situation:
