The last two updates break my site

Hello!
I have encountered a rather frustrating issue over the last two theme update cycles (v. 1.3.45 and 1.3.46). Whenever I update the theme through the Wordpress Dashboard, many CSS edits I've done using the Child Theme are erased. For instance, the top navbar doesn't take into account the changes I've made to the spacing and height. Also, it disregards font size and returns it to the standard 15px, instead of the custom 17px currently defined.
As an example, this is how it should look:
and this is how it looks after updating to either of those two versions:
My website is http://laptopsuggest.com and I'm currently running the latest release that works for me (v. 1.3.44).
Is there something wrong I'm doing by editing the Child Theme through the visual customizer?
Thanks, Emil.
Hi Emil,
GP updates definitely won't erase your child theme.
Here is what I see: https://s8.postimg.org/kvxuwt0ol/2017_03_23_0654.png
Looks like you are using a caching plugin. Can you try clearing that plus the browser cache?
Let me know if this helps.
The default CSS for options like Spacing was moved into the style.css file in this update, which is why some people are running into caching issues.
Typically, clearing your browser cache will fix the issue.
Hi Leo and Tom,
I've updated the theme to the latest version once again, emptied all the caches + browser cache as suggested and voila...works as intended!
However, it's curious that I took the exact same steps while having the spacing issue with no results earlier today. I think I should have also purged the KeyCDN cache as well.
Thanks for the quick reply guys, cheers!
Glad we could help :)
