Custom.css file Topic is solved

[Gaylenew7]

I am running Joomla 3.9.27 and working off a web server. I have created a custom.css file in the template/css folder. The file worked the first time I entered css code but when I tried to update that same css (ie. float: left to float: right) it does not update my joomla website. The server css file is updated as well as the template css file but the website does not change? I tried a different website and got the same results. I also loaded a new Joomla installation and it would not update. Has anyone else ever run into this problem?

Which template does the website use? For example Protostar requires the custom CSS to be added to user.css in the CSS folder of Protostar.

I am using the OSTraining Breeze template. In the index.php file it has the code to look for the custom.css file:if( file_exists('templates/'.$this->template.'/css/custom.css')){
$doc->addStyleSheet('templates/'.$this->template.'/css/custom.css');
}
I have placed the custom.css file in the css directory in the templates directory of the template and placed the following code into it:

.tag-category img {
float: right;
margin-right: 15px;
-moz-box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888;
-webkit-box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888;
box-shadow: 10px 10px 10px 5px #888;
border-radius: 10px;
}

That worked and it made the changes to my website.

Then I went back and changed float: right to float: left.

The update was placed in the custom.css file on the server - but the website never reflected the change. Ever since then I cannot make changes to the custom.css file that affect the website. You can see it changed the file on the server but not the actual website.

The Breeze template appears to be based on Protostar and therefore I would expect it to use user.css, rather than custom.css.
