Strange header appearance in all themes?!?
-
For some reason which I can’t fathom, ever since I bought the css customisation thing, my blog header text is messed up in every single theme which I apply. By messed up, I mean the header text seems to appear in a grey box, with a different grey on mouseover, and a 1 point line below it as well. Can anyone explain what is going on here? Is it possible that by (maybe) fiddling with the css in the first theme I tried (Blix), I’ve now done something which affects every other theme I apply? I’ve tried reverting that Blix css to the first version, doesn’t fix it.

Never mind. I read a posting which explained how to reset the css by deleting everything in the css editor. Now I get it, I think!

CSS is theme specific. If you have custom CSS and later change themes, you need to delete whatever CSS you have in the Editor, otherwise, you’ll get undesired results.
To ‘reset’ a theme, you need to delete the CSS in the Editor, make sure the “add to existing CSS” radio button is checked, then save. Things should go back to normal.
When you alter a theme’s stylesheet, you only need to put in the Editor the modification/additions to the CSS, not the entire thing. Read this for more info:

Also, do not forget to always post a link to your blog so that we can see the problem you are having and give you a more informed solution.
