I am having an issue with applying a custom CSS stylesheet. I have tried putting a simple custom stylesheet in the header with a \<link rel=“stylesheet”\> tag, as well as attaching the file in settings. In both cases, in the Chrome Inspector, I can see the linked CSS in the \<head\> in the website preview, and have checked the minified CSS - does not appear to be any issues. However, when I look at the elements I am trying to alter, I don’t see my CSS anywhere. It’s not even getting overwritten by another CSS file - it’s just not there. Can anyone help me? I have double checked and I am not misspelling any class names - tried it on a number of different elements.

Hi @MHammersley

Trust you are doing great.

It would be great if you can share the screenshot for same so that I can check where and how you have attached the CSS file in settings.

Thanks
