Title: Converting CSS from wordpress.com site Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Converting CSS from wordpress.com site * [smith8ar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smith8ar/) * (@smith8ar) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/) * I am in the process of converting from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. I want to setup up my wordpress.org site to look like the .com site. I have made several CSS changes to the .com site and would like to also apply them to my new .org site. They are both using Adelle, but when I make the same CSS changes to the. org site that I had made to the .com site, the changes don;t seem to take effect. For example, I added this to the CSS for the .org site: .page .entry-header { display: none; } This was supposed to remove the page title, but the change did not take effect. To add CSS changes, I am using Edit CSS via Jetpack. * My wordpress.com site is [http://audreyrosephoto.com/](http://audreyrosephoto.com/) My wordpress.org site is (temp url) [http://69.195.124.151/~audreyr4/](http://69.195.124.151/~audreyr4/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491341) * I don’t see a class on your page named “entry-header”, are you sure you’re using the right CSS (by right I mean for your WordPress.org site)? * Thread Starter [smith8ar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smith8ar/) * (@smith8ar) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491343) * That’s what I was wondering. Is the CSS for the Adelle theme different for wordpress. org vs wordpress.com? Because that worked for the wordpress.com site * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491344) * Yes they are different themes, that use different HTML (which then means different CSS). * Thread Starter [smith8ar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smith8ar/) * (@smith8ar) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491345) * Oh ok. So what would be the best way to try to apply the same changes I had made to the wordpress.com site? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491346) * How familiar are you with CSS? * Thread Starter [smith8ar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smith8ar/) * (@smith8ar) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491348) * Not too familiar. Only experience is research I’ve done for my wordpress.com site. But I am a Java developer, so I should be able to catch on! haha. Bascially, I guess I just need to figure out the equivalent classes in the .org CSS and apply those changes to those classes. Is that right? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491353) * > figure out the equivalent classes in the .org CSS and apply those changes to > those classes. Is that right? * Yes, try using [a browser developer tool](http://getfirebug.com) to explore the underlying HTML and CSS of a page more easily. However, there’s no guarantee that the CSS will work off-hand. Let us know specific examples that you’re stuck with. * Thread Starter [smith8ar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smith8ar/) * (@smith8ar) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491356) * what is a good developer tool for Chrome? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491358) * It’s built-in.

Also, in wordpress.com there is the option to choose the 3 main colors to be used for the Adelle theme. Is there a good way to apply the same customization to the .org Adelle theme? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491362) * To have the same options in your dashboard just like .COM ? * Thread Starter [smith8ar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smith8ar/) * (@smith8ar) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491363) * No, just to apply the same affect. Unless there is an option to have that in your dashboard on .org? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491364) * I don’t know the .COM theme to answer that, sorry. * Thread Starter [smith8ar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smith8ar/) * (@smith8ar) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491365) * ok. thank you!! 🙂 🙂 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) The topic ‘Converting CSS from wordpress.com site’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/adelle/19.01/screenshot.png) * Adelle * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/adelle/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/adelle/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/adelle/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/adelle/reviews/) ## Tags * [conversion](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/conversion/) * [css](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/css/) * 15 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [smith8ar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smith8ar/) * Last activity: [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-css-from-wordpresscom-site-1/#post-4491365) * Status: not resolved
