   Hello if I want to add a custom CSS on a specific page without any plugin then what? I think we add this via function? can you please tell me how to add CSS via functions.php and what is the best and secure way to add CSS for a specific page

   Antworten

   • WPBeginner Support

     You do not need to use functions to add CSS to specific pages, you would target the specific page in your CSS selector to have it only affect a single page on your site.

   Is it better to insert your own CSS in WordPress using a template or using WPCode?

   Antworten

   • WPBeginner Support

     Both options are valid choices it depends on personal preference and if the theme has the option in the editor.

       Thanks for the clarification, I wasn’t sure if, for example, a snippet using WPCode would be faster for the site’s response than integrating it into the template itself. So if it doesn’t matter, I’ll probably stick to best practice and keep it integrated in the template.

     Our tutorials are for WordPress.org sites, we do not have specifics for WordPress.com at the moment. We would recommend taking a look at our guide below for the comparison between the two and if you wanted to look to transfer your site from WordPress.com to a self hosted WordPress.org site.

    I have not quite finished building my website, but have updated from the free version so I can use css to make changes. My site is not yet live. With the upgrade to the premium version the update button has now changed to publish. Does this mean that when I click on publish to save any changes it will make my site live?
    Also, I can’t remember which theme I used, how do I find out which theme I am using?

      It sounds like you are on WordPress.com, if you publish a post then it will be viewable to those who can see your site. With WordPress.com for a private site you are limited to: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
      You should be able to see the theme that is active under Appearance>Themes

    I already know WHERE to add the CSS. How do I know what CSS to add? How do I know what the „valid CSS rules“ are?

      Hey Bruce,

      For that you will need to learn some basic CSS. There are several websites that have step by step CSS tutorials for beginners. We recommend w3schools as they allow you to practice CSS with a live try it out box.

    2 Questions:

    1. Just so I’m clear, „plugins“ are substitutes for writing CSS, a difficult task for those of us who know nothing about CSS — is that right?

    2. Plugins listed for downloading on the WP plugins page are available for installation only to subscribers who have paid for the „Buisness“ Plan, is that right?

    Antworten

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Frank,

      1. No, plugins are not substitute for writing custom CSS. You can write custom CSS without installing plugins. Please see our guide on what are WordPress plugins and how do they work for more details.

      2. IF you are using WordPress.com, then yes you will need to upgrade to business plan. Please see our guide on the difference between self hosted WordPress.org vs free WordPress.com blog.

    Hi,

    I am a novice when it comes to building and designing websites and have no knowledge of css. I am using the Sydney theme on my website – and I have somehow managed to turn my paragraph font white. I have googled and notice a gentleman had the same issue. He fixed it downloading a plugin and using a custom css however I have tried and had no luck.

    The css which he advised using is –

    .entry-page p, .entry-post p {
    color: black !important;
    margin: 0 !important;
    padding: 0 !important;
    }

    but I am not sure why it is not working for me. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Annie

    Antworten

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Annie,

      First we will recommend you to turn off all your WordPress plugins by deactivating them. After that, visit your website to see if this resolved your issue. If it did, then this means a setting in one of your plugins was causing the problem. If it doesn’t solve the issue, then try switching to a default theme like Twenty Seventeen. If that does fix your issue, then it means that some where in your theme you have changed the font settings.

      If nothing works out, then you can try this custom CSS:

      p { 
      color:#000; 
      }

      Hi Rebecca,

      You can copy the CSS and paste it in a text file and save it as backup. Now delete every thing in Additional CSS box and start adding your custom CSS one rule at a time until the error appears again. This will help you locate the error and fix it.

    Before WP version 4.9, I used to be able to cut and paste my custom CSS (from the WP customizer) and paste it into Windows Notepad (and it would keep the formatting. I did this often to save it as a back up when I was adding new custom CSS — in case I made a mistake.

    Now when pasting it in Notepad, it just runs all the CSS together without the line-by-line formatting in Notepad.

    Any idea why or how I can fix it? I already have „word wrap“ mode set in Notepad.

    This site is really good. My site didn’t have any link colors so I used this code /* unvisited link blue */
    a:link {
    Color: #196380;
    }

    /* visited link green */
    a:visited {
    color: #248f24;
    }

    /* mouse over link orange */
    a:hover {
    color: #ff3300;
    }

    /* selected link red*/
    a:active {
    color: #cc0000;
    }

    but it turned colors on for everything that is a link such as menu’s into a color.

    I only want the colors for linking.

    I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks

    Antworten

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Joe,

      In your CSS, you didn’t define which areas should have links in these colors, which makes them apply to entire body. To figure out which areas you need to target, you will need to use the Inspect Tool to find out the CSS class used by your theme for the content block.

      Let’s suppose the content block in your theme has a css class site-content, you will use it in your CSS like this:

      .site-content a:link {
      color: #196380; 
      }  
      
      .site-content a:visited {
      color: #248f24;
      }
      
      .site-content a:active { 
      color: #cc0000;
      }  
      
      .site-content a:hover { 
      color: #ff3300;
      }

        Hi,

        yes I know (I have already used the very good Simple Custom CSS plugin), but I would prefer to use the native function since it is implemented in Wordpress.
        However, this function is only available for the network admin and not for the site admin on a multisite installation.
        The rights can be easily changed to allow site admin to add their own custom CSS in the customizer (with the native WP function) (see this plugin: http://www.wordpress.org/plugins/multisite-custom-css/), and I wonder if this would create a security issue (based on the assumption that I can’t trust site admin)?

          We agree that will be a concern, this is why the feature is turned off. If you turn it on, then the users will be able to add unfiltered CSS. You should keep it switched off.

    I don’t know much about code so I’m just wondering if I make changes and click „save and publish“, is there a way to get the original code back if I don’t like the changes or do I need to copy and save the original code in the event I want to restore it?

    This is probably really naive, I don’t know much about code, so bear with me.. In the customise additional css, can you put in different things? I mean I have already put something in there that will change some of the colours. Now I want to put in something that will change the width of the page. (I am getting these bits of code from very helpful people, I know nothing!)
    So will both of these things work? Or can you only change one thing? It doesn’t look like the page width has changed

    Can anybody help me with this? I did a small customization on my logo using CSS Hero. Then I’ve copied these exact 9 strings of code into my Simple Custom CSS plugin, after deactivating CSS Hero. I thought I could reproduce the same CSS Hero customization on my logo using Simple Custom CSS, but instead it’s not working.

    I refreshed the page and cleared the cache, but the customization still doesn’t take effect. Why’s that?

    Hi Guys,

    I’ve installed the Simple custom CSS plugin & activated it. I have a table created on one of my webpages that I wanted to have a border around it.

    As a result, I have added the following code to my simple custom CSS plugin

    table {
    border: 2px solid black;
    }

    and updated the Custom CSS but nothing happened – I still don’t get any border on my webpage table.

    Any suggestions?

    Regards

    • Molly Setzer

      Hey Ian,

      It’s likely that you are not calling it by the correct css selector. Use the most defined selector to grab the element. For example, if your table has a class of „info“ then calling it by the more specific table.info will help you reach the element. Check if it has more selectors in the html.

    Thanks, I wish I realized this sooner because I’ve made all my css changes on the style.css file since I’m making the changes locally but are you saying that if for some reason Genesis decides to update the particular child theme I used I will lose those changes? I don’t know if I’ve ever seen them update their child themes although I’ve only been using Genesis for a few months so I suppose it is entirely possible they will update certain ones here and there. I think going forward I’ll make my changes in the plugin especially if the site is live.

    • suzie

      Use the theme you like and create a ‚child theme‘
      The child theme is then unique to your website.
      Make any changes only on your child theme.
      The theme designer may update their theme, but your changes will remain. (Depending on the designers update you may need to tweak your changes, but that’s unlikely).

    Great article.

    I just wanted to add here. There’s a lot of option here specially sites running in WordPress, building/creating custom css is simple. Most wordpress themes usally support adding custom css without having to create or add additional plugins.

    I also agree, and the best option here is using a child theme instead.
