This is my first time creating a WP template. I used this tutorial: http://themeshaper.com/2012/10/22/the-themeshaper-wordpress-theme-tutorial-2nd-edition/

I am editing the style.css file that is in the template folder (WCCB Theme – Copy). It is on XAMPP, a local server, so there is no FTPing anything. I edit the file, and refresh my browser and nothing happens. Currently I only have one style in there, making H2s red, and the rest is blank (except for the header comment). Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

1: When I view the source, the file is listed as a stylesheet that is applied.
2: When I go directly to the URL of the file the browser can find it.
3: When I use the developer tools to inspect my H2, it says only user agent styles are being applied.

Initially it appeared as a caching issue, but I have cleared my cache (Chrome). I have no idea what is wrong. How can I get my CSS to udpate?

    Not sure how I fixed this. I deleted the template from the WP admin panel and added it again with a different name and some CSS changes already made. It worked. Now I can change my CSS file and refresh my browser and the changes appear. Not sure what happened.
