you can use wp’s editor.
from the admin section of wordpress go to Appearance > Editor. then find your style.css file. (i would recommend making a copy of its contents to a text file in case you mess something up…it happens)
from there find the element that you want to change and edit it. save. youre done.
although, make sure you are making those edits to a child theme. if you don’t have a child theme then your next best bet would be to look for a custom css plugin. it will allow you to add custom css that will override your theme’s css.
Unfortunately, it’s not quite that easy.
“The styleheets of Customizr are located in inc/assets/css. Each skin has its own stylesheet : blue.css, green.css, …
* The current stylesheet is loaded after the main skin stylesheet.”
So it doesn’t show in the Editor.
I’m quite willing to drop the code into the CSS editor, provided I had a source version to modify.
I’m pretty good at replacing the necessary bits, but not so much with creating the original code.
I have tried a method through the CSS Editor, but it didn’t have any effect.
if your theme has a “CSS editor” then use that otherwise, try using this plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/
and then make edits to the css there.
What exactly are you trying to change about the blockquote?
I suggest you take a breather. No need to use the @mr Case approach with a plugin or CSS Editor. There is a Custom CSS panel in Customise>Advanced options>Custom CSS. And you should not be editing core files.
Need a link to site, and answer to @mr Case last question
I was just trying to help rdell. I’m pretty sure the feature you speak of is what he was referring to as a “CSS Editor”
I don’t use Customizr so I am not familiar with that theme and did’t know that was an option in the customize section.
and who said anything about editing core files?
Didn’t mean to offend you, sorry! @flabeachbum referenced core skin.css files though.
No worries!
There’s simply nothing to modify in the Customizr CSS files, Customizr appearance settings, etc.
I tried adding the CSS through the CSS Editor, but nothing changed.
It’s a blind alley at this point, without resorting to major surgery.
I’m going to look up the features on the Pro version and see if this is covered there.
Okay, there is a tool from the same author that does cover this, however it still doesn’t remove the vertical line. I’m going to close this as resolved and re-open it over there.
Thanks for the input so far!
in your “CSS editor” add the following and see if anything happens…
blockquote {
border-left: none !important;
}
there is nothing in your “CSS editor” because it should be intended for custom CSS. CSS that you add to override the out-of-the-box styles of the theme.
Thanks Mr Case, that worked.
I understand the Custom CSS (aka “Appearance / Edit CSS”) is usually empty, except for bits I’ve added.
The Editor (aka “Appearance / Editor / Stylesheet / Style.CSS”) is indeed relatively empty, save for the author information, etc., however this is where I would expect to find those settings.
Confusingly named, and that makes for easy misunderstanding here, right?
Thanks again for the fix.
Zach
every theme is authored so much differently than the next. it’s always a challenge finding exactly where you need to edit something. glad you figured it out.
and thanks for using the [Mr. Case Approach]®
