Custom CSS doesn't have any effect

[Tim]

I’m using your skt-full-width-pro theme on CambridgeEnglishResults.com but my custom CSS doesn’t have any effect.

Just as a test, I’ve added these lines under Appearance —> Theme Options —> Layout Settings —> Custom CSS:

.widget {
background: #00ff00;
background-color: lightblue;
}

But this has no effect on the display of widgets on the site.

Chrome’s dev tools show this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3xNAcWy4VXqNlc4R1hhTGg3Zlk/view?usp=sharing

…i.e. that my CSS appears in (index):71

.widget {
background: #00ff00;
background-color: lightblue;
}

but is overridden by this in style.css:

media=”all”
.header .widget {
background: transparent !important;
margin: 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}

Surely the custom CSS should override the default CSS in style.css shouldn’t it?

What’s the solution please?

Hi Tim,

Try to use !important property. So it would be as below:

.widget {
background: #00ff00 !important;
background-color: lightblue;
}

Let us know if you still having the issue.

Regards,
Dave

Makes no difference I’m afraid. The visual appearance of the widget is the same, and the CSS examiner tool shows this:

.widget {
background: #00ff00 !important;
background-color: lightblue;
}

This seems to be a recurring problem in the themes. I’m having the same problem in the Kraft theme and as a result I’m created 4-6 support threads which all can be fixed if the css customization worked.

I’ve just sent you another message via your contact form, along with an admin username and password. I look forward to hearing back from you.

The contact form seems not to be working ow either… I’ve sent an email to [email protected]
subject: https://www.sktthemes.org/forums/topic/custom-css-doesnt-have-any-effect/#post-24619
with my admin and user info. I’ve sent twice before already as there are several issues that need fixed.
