Unable to make CSS changes through a child theme

    I am using the theme Revelar for my blog. I have started making some changes to the look by using the additional CSS option in the cusomizer, which is working well. However, because i would like ot make overall changes such as change one of the main colour to a different one on all elements, I figured it would be easier to make those changes in the style cheet rather than copy and paste every single bit of code involving that colour into the additional CSS.
    I created a child theme using the “one-click child theme” plug in, but now, when I try pasting the updated CSS code into my style sheet, it doesn’t do anything. so not sure where to go from there. Ideally I would love to be able to make changes directly into the child theme’s style sheet as if it was the parent theme rather than copy and past bits and pieces, but i don’t know if that’s possible… thank you in advance for your help!

    http://www.catchingthefog.com/ is hosted by Bluehost, not by WordPress.COM, and we do not provide support for it.

    That site is not on our WordPress.COM servers. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.

    The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

    This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
    (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
    (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting
    (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

    Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/

    Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
    http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

    However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
    See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
