CSS file changes not displayed

Hi, making changes in BuddyPress CSS has proven to be harder than expected, despite using the inspector to find the right line in the right BP CSS file.
The code changes is simply not displayed. Even changes in the bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css does not take place.

What am I missing out here?

Regards
Carsten

You should add custom CSS to your theme’s style.css document.

For example wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/style.css

Hi Henry, thanks for answering, I have added a child theme with a style.css document. But even changes to the original code, just for testing, no changes are taken place.

You might have caching going on. Try asking your host if they are caching your CSS assets.

Not sure if thats the issue.

I myself am having issues with the what’s new form.
Trying to change border color.
```
#buddypress form#whats new form {
      background-color: #82E0AA;
  padding: 4px 0 !important;
}
```

Nvm turned out I had a /* on one of the lines in my style.css preventing any changes.
I changed up the code as well.
```
form#whats-new-form {
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: #82E0AA;
    border-width: 5px;
    padding: 10px 15px;
}
```
Carsten double check your code and previous code.
