  When I make changes to the CSS – the changes show initially. Then I change something else and all changes disappear when the browser is refreshed. The cache on the browser is clear. I am using the Snap theme. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

  What specific changes are you making? What is the code you’re using?

  Below is what I have tried. I want to remove the lines below the header and above the footer. It showed when I saved it, but then disappeared.

  /*
  #main-header {border-bottom-color: white}
  #footer {border-top: white}
  */

  That could be happening if there are mistakes in your CSS.

  For example, this is a CSS comment:

  /*
  #main-header {border-bottom-color: white}
  #footer {border-top: white}
  */

  And it shouldn’t work at all if you save it using the “/*” and “*/” parts before and after it like you posted above. It’s strange though because it shouldn’t work in the preview either if with those characters in place.

  Could you try removing “/*” and “*/” from your Appearance > Customize > CSS editor and let me know if that doesn’t fix the problem for you?
