sorry i mean my body tag has no id only class
for general styling, there is no difference between css id and css class – in terms of specificity. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_id_class.asp
for instance, the page specific css class output by body_class() .page-id-237 is unique to one page, and you can build your page css on it.
I’m sorry i’m confused
maybe you could give me an example i can test out?
my news page class is <body class=”custom news”>
what would i do to style it?
forgot to mention i’m using thesis so the <body> tag
will be appended with the “custom” class, like so: <body class=”custom”>.
start all the custom styles for your news page with:
.custom.news
example:
.custom.news .hentry h2 { ... }
without a link to your site and a specific example, this is all i can suggest.
well my site has a coming soon page so unfortunately i can’t give a link
but what i want to do is change the background that my content is posted on and to make it a certain color only on the news page
i did it on my home page with this code
.custom #content {
background: #f8f8f8;
but this code changes it on every page
Without a link to you site is hard, but lets try it.
first make your that you them has the <?php body_class()?> function in the body tag.
This will add a unique class to the page something like “page-id”, “post-ID” then you can target this class like .page-id #content {}
*sigh* i’m so confused :X
what do you want me to do with <?php body_class()?>
i’m assuming put it in my custom functions.php?
then what do you want me to put in the ()? the news page id?
i’m not using a custom page template so i didn’t design any pages from scratch so the only place to add code is either custom functions.php or custom.css
<?php body_class()?> doesn’t work i got fatal syntax error in my custom functions.php
i am thinking you dont know HTML , somewher in your header.php you will find <body> after body and within the > add the funtion that i gave you this will add page specifc html or just add a link to the page this will help us a lot to be able to help
