    I have installed my child theme using child themify and checked it all seems fine but when i go to edit and update literally nothing changes. I have a feeling that for some reason its not overriding the parent style.css and i dont know enough about css myself to go fiddling around with files for fear of causing damage.

    here is my current child style.css

    /*
    Theme Name: Boss 2.0 child
    Version: 1.0
    Description: A child theme of Boss.
    Template: boss
    */

    @import url(“../boss/style.css”);

    /* Theme customization starts here:
    —————————————————————–*/

    body {
    background-color:black;
    }

    This was just to test if the site would change alas it did not. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you 🙂

    I’m having a similar issue. Nothing happens when I edit the Boss CHILD THEME. I am trying to hide the page titles and change the font size of the titlebar navigation.

    Hi @vashdenarada,

    use !important tag when you have to override the css
    Like following
    You can include this in child theme style.css, custom.css or boss option panel also have option to add custom css

    
body {
background-color:black!important;
}

    @vapvarun thank you for your reply.

    I have tested the above and currently no change. I will allow upto 24 hrs to witness a change in the site as i know it can be delayed by various different elements and i will get back to you with the result tomorrow

    I’m not seeing a change either. It’s becoming a bit frustrating. Why are we unable to get a straight answer with the proper code listed here?

    What is the issue with the custom CDs not overriding the parent styles like it was advertised? Whom do we need to speak to to get the solution we need?

    Hi @lojdevgroup, Please paste your site url and let us know what exactly you are trying to do.
    We will check at your site and will suggest what exact code need to be added.

    If you do not want to edit files you can also use a simple plugin which adds a option panel to keep all custom css at single place.

    Hi @lojdevgroup
    To hide page header following will work

    
.page .entry-header {
  display:none !important;
}

    To change navigation links font size

    
.header-navigation>div>ul {
    font-size: 16px!important;
}

    Regards

    My website is http://israelkonect.com

    I used the code for hiding page titles that you gave me

    .page .entry-header {
    display:none !important;
    }

    I placed this inside the custom css file inside the Boss child theme. Still no results.

    @vapvarun I think i have been patient enough at this point.

    I dont believe your product is for me. As i am still within the 30 days i would like to request a full refund for the theme and the additional plugins i have purchased (bossWall and bossMedia).

    I expect to hear from you soon and hope there is no issue in processing this request

    Thank you

    @vapvarun like i said. I dont think your product is for me.

    I am still in my 30 day money back guarantee and would like to move forward with processing my claim at this time.

    If you are unable to process my claim please direct me to someone that can.

    Thank you for your help
