Hi Support Team,

I hope you’re all well. This is my first forey into modifying a child theme on wordpress or doing anything to the backend in wordpress for that matter. So apologies if this a bit of a basic problem.

I’ve installed the jevelin child theme as per the documentation, installing and activating. The wordpress dashboard recognises the fact that the child theme is installed.

I’ve been trying to override the style for the header by including css in the style.css file in the jevelin-child folder. I prefer this method to using a plugin like yellow pencil as I feel I get a better understanding of what’s going in the backend.

However, none of the style changes I’ve made have appeared on my website. I’m wondering if wordpress is ignoring the style.css changes and picking the defaults from inline styling?

Here’s the modification I added to the style.css on my site.
<div>

/*
Theme Name: Jevelin Child
Description: Child theme for Jevelin theme
Author: Shufflehound
Author URI: http://shufflehound.com
Template: jevelin
*/

/* Add your custom CSS below */

.sh-header .container{
    position: relative;
    background-color: #73142d;
}   

Any help gladly received many thanks
Nick
