  Changes in the main.css file not reflecting on the actual website in the browser when checked through firebug.
  I have cleared cache, removed cache plugin in WordPress.
  In cpanel of siteground.com, it has been updated correctly but not showing correct output on website browser. Please suggest some resolution. Thanks.

  Hi there,

  Unless you’re using a child theme, CSS files shouldn’t be edited directly. Any edits you make will be overwritten if the theme is updated.

  CSS can also be safely added to the customizer in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

  In cpanel of siteground.com

  As your site is using the self-hosted version of WordPress, please try posting your question in the support forum for self-hosted sites at:

  When posting your question in those forums, please make sure to include:

  • a link to your site
  • details of a specific CSS rule that isn’t working

  It will be difficult for volunteers to help you without providing that information.

  The forum you’ve posted this question in only provides support for sites hosted here at WordPress.com.

  If you’d like to learn more about the differences between WordPress.com (the hosted service) and WordPress.org (the software), please see this guide:

  Good luck!
