Question

I have wordpress installed on my system. I am using twentyten theme, in the theme directory there is style.css file. In that file I tried

body {
       background-color: red;
}

but nothing happens, no matter what change in style.css it does not reflects in browser.
Please help.

Answer 1

Have you cleared your browser’s cache? Often the browser will cache the css files to be more efficient, so any changes you make to it require you to clear the cache.

If you’re using a windows machine: ctrl + shift + del should bring up the clear cache dialog

Edit: it appears that your css was in the @media print section of the stylesheet – which only applies to printed material
