    Dear Steven,

    after my last css-question you told me, where to put some css-code to change the size of the cmap-cards. It worked very fine. In the meantime I wanted to change some colors and enlarge the postal-code.

    It just doesn’t work. If I remove the code you gave me before, nothing changes. shouldn’t it appear too small again (as before)?

    The site is http://www.gervas.org.

    I built a new page under another name, then had it all copied onto the gervas-server, copied the database.

    Is that why it would not work? Is there somewhere a css-file that is still be used without me knowing it?

    I have already worked for hours on it – and can’t find a solution.

    Maybe you have an idea?

    Thank you very much for looking into my problem.

    Sorry, but I’ve read this a couple times and I am unsure to as what the question is. I’ve looked at the page and I see some custom CSS that is being applied to the template. Are you asking how to remove it? If so, you need to navigate to where you added that CSS and delete it. Sorry that I can not offer more specific advice.

    I am sorry. I probably was not very clear in what I wanted.

    I want to change color and size of entries shown in the front. For example change the color of the zip-code to make it easier to see.

    You said: No problem, put the css-code into the main css-file of your theme and you gave me an example, how to enlarge the font. And you advised me, how I can change more than that, once I have found out how to adress the rows I want to alter.

    The size of the font worked fine, instantly. That was, BEFORE I moved page and database to another directory of my server.

    The problem now: no matter what I change in the themes css code concerning cmap, nothing changes. If I take the cmap-css-code away altogether – nothing changes. The outcome of the entries stay the same.

    That is the code you gave me:

    #cn-cmap .cn-entry {
    font-size: 16px !important;
}
#cn-cmap h3 .fn {
    font-size: 24px !important;
}

    If I change the font-size to 30px it should show! But it doesn’t. If I take it away altogether it should make the font as small as it was at the beginning, when I asked you for help. But it doesn’t.

    That’s why I thought, that the altered code has been saved somewhere else. How and where can I look, if that was the case???

    Is it a bit clearer now for you? Sorry for my realy bad english…

    And thank you for your help!

    Ok, I better understand (I hope). First, remove any and all custom CSS you applied. Then let me know. I’ll then check the page and I will be able to tell what other custom CSS is being applied and where it is at.

    Ok, so, now that the custom CSS you’ve added is removed… What are the issues? It seems like everything is correct.

    I feel, that this is the problem!

    I would like to change the color of the postal-code and maybe change the color of the address-lines altogether. If I add some css into the theme’s custom css-file – nothing happens.

    Now, that the code is gone, shouldn’t the outcome be as it was when I first asked you for help? That was a very small font that could hardly be read.

    RE: Now, that the code is gone, shouldn’t the outcome be as it was when I first asked you for help?

    This is what I see when I look at the page. The font size looks like the size I would expect it to be.

    I think I finally understand the issue you are having!!!

    You are actually editing the actual CSS file for the theme. The file is very likely named style.css. Is that correct?

    If that is correct, you should not edit this file!

    Here’s why… it is likely to be overwritten during a theme update. The theme very likely has a custom CSS area in its settings. Add your custom CSS to this settings area. Refer to your theme’s documentation/support channel if you can not find it. My best guess is that it is in the theme Customizer.

    Why are you having trouble when editing this file… the browser does not download this file over and over. The browser will cache this file locally on your computer to speedup the page load. So, if you make a change to the file on the server — you will very likely not see the change because the browser is still loading the old locally cached version.

    If you want to edit this file and see the changes. Open the page in Chrome, hit the F12 key and then click the Network tab. Add a checkmark to the “Disable cache” option. Now, on every page load, the files will be requested from the server instead of locally cached versions but only when the browser console is open by hitting the F12 key.
