Custom CSS has never been that early in the head. As you know, any CSS gets overridden by the same rules if they come later. So by putting custom CSS so early in the head, it just gets overridden by the theme css that comes later.

It was not this way before. I don’t know if it’s a WP Bakery update or the theme, that’s why I’m asking you.

Both my screenshots show the custom CSS is now the first thing in the html. That means the CSS I’ve added to pages no longer works if I’m using it to overwrite theme css.

I don’t know how else to explain it that makes sense to you.
