  Is there a maximum number of characters allowed in the CSS Stylesheet editor? I can’t seem to add anymore rules.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Did you paste the entire stylesheet into the CSS edit window?

  I’m unaware of any limit, but if there is a limit it has got to be very high.

  No I didn’t paste the whole sheet in. There a lot of colors I want to change so I have a lot of rules. I tried deleting a few extra lines and that didn’t seem to help. I write the new rule at the bottom and then save the style sheet when I go back the last rule isn’t there.

  Since your site is private, I cannot look at it so I’ll tag this thread for staff attention and hopefully someone will respond with some help for you.

  One thing to try is to log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then try again.

  I have definitely seen Custom stylesheets much longer than yours.

  Perhaps the rules you’re trying to add are invalid, and therefore are being stripped out.

  Would you please let us know the rules you’re trying to add? Make such to wrap them with backticks (use the “code” button above the posting area).

  It’s working now. I put some different styles before the style that wouldn’t work and then tried that one again and it’s keeping it now.

  It was directly copied from the existing style sheet, so I’m not sure what the problem was.
  Thanks to all that replied.

  You should probably move the second line up next to the first:

  .widget_categories a:hover {
  color: #B95050;
  border-color: #E3CBC4;
  }
