Title: css with body class Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # css with body class * [roclimb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roclimb/) * (@roclimb) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-with-body-class/) * Hi I added: > and added .myclass #divname to my style.css and it works great and changes css for a page called state-page. My question is I have about 45 pages with the same “state-page” template I want the .myclass added to. Is there a way to declare this page as a catagory or something similar so WordPress will know that I want .myclass added through body_class to those pages? * I would like to acheive this alternate css through the body_class as I have other pages with different css and this is the best solution for my needs. * thanks Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-with-body-class/#post-2670672) * > pages with the same “state-page” template * the `body_class()` function will automatically add a page template specific class; * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class) * `.page-template-templatefilename-php` * Thread Starter [roclimb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roclimb/) * (@roclimb) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-with-body-class/#post-2670736) * As always thanks again for the reply. I think I worded my question poorly. what I wanted to ask is: * I have a template called area-page that is linked to style.css and will have about 50 pages looking like that template, then * I will have another 50 pages coming from area-page template but changed the css slightly through >. these pages I want to all have the class .myclass added to so it looks a little different from the regular area-template. So I want a simple way to add the .myclass to do this. I did it for one page and it looks great but I have 49 more to add it to and dont want to have to add the page name 49 times. * Is there a way to add .myclass to a set of these 49 pages? * Thread Starter [roclimb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roclimb/) * (@roclimb) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-with-body-class/#post-2670938) * I think I figured out what I need. I will add the category of the page to be detected and make a conditional statement to detect the category and then add the class depending on category. this way I can have a ton of pages under one category and not have to add the class to individual names. * Cheers Rob Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘css with body class’ is closed to new replies. * 3 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [roclimb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roclimb/) * Last activity: [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-with-body-class/#post-2670938) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
