Theme will not recognize customizations

    I tried customizing the CSS style sheet (I know very little about HTML and CSS) and after making some changes the theme will not recognize a custom background image. I am considering deleting the entire page and starting over from scratch.

    What do you recommend?

    Thank you,

    It looks like quite a few custom CSS changes have been accepted. Are you still having trouble?

    When I adjusted the CSS style sheet it accepted my changes, but now if I try to reload my custom background it won’t recognize it. It is the only image the themes won’t recognize.
    Yes, I am still having trouble.

    You actually have a specific background defined in your CSS which is overriding anything that you upload.

    If you remove that, it should be fine.

    How do remove the background override?

    Thanks for the help!

  • staff-blorbo · Staff ·

    Try removing the background line from:

    body {
background:#4C0A0A url('./images/bg.gif');
color:#77756B;
font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size:62.5%;
line-height:1.7;
margin:0;
}

    On the bottom of the main page there is a small image just under the comment link section that is justified to the left and I cannot figure out how to center it….can you help?

    Try something like this:

    img.pmark{text-align:center;}

    Below is what I see in my CSS style sheet. I can’t fine the “pmark” image anywhere….
    Where would I add what you suggested?

    margin:5px;
    }

    You’ll need to add that bit to your stylesheet.

    Where do I add that bit? I tried just adding it at the end and it didn’t work…

    Thank you very much for your help, by the way. I really appreciate it.

  • staff-blorbo · Staff ·

    Try adding it right below that last bit, so you’ll have:

    .wp-caption p.wp-caption-text {
font-size:11px;
line-height:17px;
margin:0;
padding:0 4px 5px;
}

img.pmark {
text-align:center;
}
