HTML How to Make a Website Adding Pages to a Website Add Iconography

CSS coding on Profile Photo not updating Image on Website Page

Hi, I am currently working through the Web Design Track and I inserted an image in my 'About' page on the developing website from files imported into the folder on my Workspace. The image has appeared in About page following the href src etc code in About.html code page.

However, I have entered the following CSS code [below] to change the shape and boundaries of the image and it is not reflecting/updating the image. The thing is that it worked temporarily and then reverted back to older image dimensions.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Any help you can provide would be most appreciated as I'm still very much a beginner.

Thanks so much.

Elias. 

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  max-width: 150px;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

Can you try to change the image class name to "profilephoto" and its css to ".profilephoto". I think "-" is causing problems.

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, it still didn't work following the removal of "-" from class name/and css. It's quite strange.

Hey Tommy,

I'm still experiencing difficulty with it - not sure if it is something on my computer but I'll post my html in reply to Wayne just in case I have made a mistake somewhere. It's a little frustrating.

Thanks very much for checking with me.

Hi Wayne,

Thanks very much. I thought I might try to delete and re-type the path and although it was exactly the same - it seemed to work this time and link to the image….not sure why that happened, but thank you to you and all others who provided me with suggestions. Hopefully no more issues with this particular feature.

Elias.
