Problem solved, the functions.php and style.css were not correct, I used filed found on a generic ‘how to create a child theme’ site, the correct content can be found here https://github.com/FameThemes/onepress-child

thanks for your input.

Thanks for your suggestion, I changed it to yellow and then back to purple but the changes did not take.

Looking at the icons on the homepate in inspector in chrome I can see that the css colour is there but it is crossed out

.icon-background-default {
color: #5a3585; <—this is the purple
}

what could cause the crossing out, i.e. the css to be overridden? I do not have any custom css and if I add

.icon-background-default {
color: #5a3585 important!;
}

to style.css this also does not have an effect. It seems that ther may be a more fundamental issue?

I am an idiot and was using the wrong password…
