Hello!
I was having some issues using a child theme and the editor in wordpress. I got the menu font to resize and was able to make it bold, but couldn’t get the hover for the search icon to work and wasn’t able to edit contact form 7 from the editor for style.css in my child theme. I’ve posted on the wordpress.org forum and said this may be something to do with the theme maybe? I’ve since used the custom css editor from jetpack, and that seems to do the trick, but I am little scared if this will effect any modifications due to updating either the theme or jetpack? Just wondering mostly though why I can’t edit the style.css in my child theme with them two things I was trying to edit more than anything though? If it helps, my website is www.handyblogs.com. I even tried the important tag.
Regards,

Sorry, wasn’t clear about the search icon hover. Was trying to change the hover colour.
Hi Kostantinos
Custom CSS in Jetpack is my preference for Custom CSS, it’s completely safe for upgrades and has revisions which is handy. Selectors taking effect in this module and not in your child theme style.css file most likely has to do order. Custom CSS might get loaded after the theme and child theme stylesheet. !important is often a way around this: http://css-tricks.com/when-using-important-is-the-right-choice/ or greater specificity: http://css-tricks.com/specifics-on-css-specificity/.
Hello Andrew,
Thank you for your response. I tried the important tags but no luck. I’ll probably stick to custom CSS with jetpack since it’s working and don’t have to type in any other tags. Thank you for your help!

Super, I think it’s the way to go. All the best.
