CSS is not updating in WordPress

Question

I am trying to change the text color of a header but the value is not being updated. Any idea whats going wrong? Here is my code:

.content
{
    text-color:blue;
}

Are you using a Child theme? where exactly did you update that code? you can always look in your console which CSS file is being loaded and then update it. — odedta

Make sure the file is actually loaded -AFTER- all the other CSS files! — odedta

It's not text-color:blue; it's color:blue property to change the color of the text/font.

Use

.content
{
 color:blue;
}

Will work for you. Refer this link.

Does this work?

.content
{
color:blue!important;
}

Remember headers are styled under h tag.

h1 {
color:blue!important;
}

HTML:

<h1>I'm the Header now</h1>
