Hi I trying to customize my Wordpress site by adding some of my own colors and layout using Appearance> Editor and at the bottom of my code adding my CSS. But my page just doesn’t seem to change at all even when I place !important at the end. What could be the problem? Why won’t it update?
Do you have a caching plugin installed and activated?
By the way, be very careful about changing the css this way. The next time a new version of your theme comes out and is updated on your site, all your changes will be overwritten and lost.

Sure does, a child theme is always a good idea 
Ctrl F5 or using incognito mode in Chrome may reveal the changes also…
thanks that worked. What does ctrl f5 do to it
Thanks for your reply. What if I just want to add something that the theme wont allow me to. Is there a better way I should do it? Instead of overwriting the css
Ctrl F5 forces the page to be downloaded again @05beckga your computer stores a copy of each page so it can load quicker when you visit that page again… because the page is stored, you sometimes will not see the changes you have made…

Then you need to use a child theme, where you put all your changes. You should never touch the code of the main theme, or a plugin, or WordPress core.
