   Based on the method you used when adding custom CSS in a block site, I notice the site still use some element of classic customizer through the link you shared ?
   I want to ask that can one just install classic widget plugin on a block theme to have easy access to the customizer for adding CSS b and other without using any custom link ?

     It would heavily depend on your specific theme. If your theme does not have the option in the customizer, we would recommend using one of the alternatives from this article.

       Well, most themes have the option in the customizer, I don’t know of block theme. Thanks.
       But I would recommend one to use page builder instead for full customization functionalities. Once I have learnt to use page builder, I rarely use custom CSS on pages.

   Just to clarify – when you mention(in METHOD 1) that the CSS added via the Customizer is only available for that particular theme, does that mean the custom CSS code actually gets added to the current theme’s files?
   I’m not too tech-savvy, so I want to make sure I understand correctly before diving in.

     Rather than being added to the theme files, the Customizer stores the CSS in the database and associates it with the theme.

       maj 5, 2024 vid 1:03 e m

       I don’t know of this, thanks. That means the added custom CSS is not staying in the theme files rather in the database, so, why do we need to copy and re-paste the custom CSS code while changing the theme when it’s actually resides within the database ?

         When adding the CSS code it is connected to the theme itself when you save. When you load a new theme it would load any CSS connected to that theme.

     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.

       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.

    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.

      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 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;

        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)?

    }

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

    Any suggestions?

      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.

    Does the Custom CSS plugin work on individual pages.
    i.e can I add style to a single page and not the whole theme?

    Thanks

      No it doesn’t work on individual pages.

    Would it not be useful to explain what CSS does and why it is useful

    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.

      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.

    thanks
