Assuming your theme uses the_ID() when outputting the posts:
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
you can target individual posts with CSS:
#post-1 {
background: green;
}
#post-2 {
background: blue;
}
Thanks for the answer, but I don’t think this will work, what I am looking for is a little different of what you are telling me.
What I need is to show a different style per post but not per unique post, I need it for the first, second, third, forth, and fifth post to have a different style.
If you know how to do this as well the help will be really appreciated : )
Thanks,
I would like to apply different css style per post in the WordPress timeline
what is a ‘WordPress timeline’ ?
one possibility is to add a counter variable to the loop and output a css class based on that variable into the post div; then proceed similar to the suggestion by @kwight;
+1 for alchemyth’s answer. You could even use the post_class() parameter in my example above, see “Add Classes By Filters” under Examples here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/post_class
Oh, may be I am not saying it right, when I said WordPress timeline, I was referring to the output of all the posts in the homepage or category, etc. I guess it is called the ‘loop’?
Thank you so much for the answers!
I think this will do it.
