    It’s difficult without seeing your child theme and CSS code, but my guess is that you have different elements in the child theme. Check which elements you have applied CSS to and make sure they exist in the parent theme.

    Thank you for your reply, Peter.

    I am very new to WordPress and know even less about CSS so I’m not sure exactly what you mean. I was told in another post that because I had already had my website constructed and was just going back and trying to get rid of access white space, I should probably use custom css. So I found PC Custom CSS and activated it. I copied the entire contents of the existing style.css, found at Appearance>Editor into the Appearance>Custom CSS right under /*– Enter your custom CSS below –*/. Then tried different fixes that I found here on this forum.

    My site is http://vfw4249.com

    The reason that I did that was because when I tried the child theme approach, a couple of the pages displayed wrong. I didn’t really want to start from square one again.

    I think I understand. This plugin isn’t designed to replace the existing CSS file in your theme.. it’s designed to let you tweak aspects of it.

    If there are certain bits of your theme CSS you want to change, copy just those bits to the plugin and then make your changes. There’s no point copying everything – there’ll be a lot of unnecessary duplication and it will make editing your custom CSS difficult.

    Hope that makes sense.

    I was able to make the page display wider by going to /*structure*/
    /* One column */
    .one-column #page {
    max-width: 890px;
    The default was 690px.

    If that’s the only thing you changed, then that’s the only bit of CSS you need in the plugin. Just make sure the CSS code you put in the plugin is valid.. don’t forget to close curly brackets ..etc.

    Yes, it does. Thank you.

    Now if I could find the spot to change for those white spaces above and under under the page name and the font size of the page name, I would be a happy camper.

    Maybe try something like this;

    .singular.page .hentry {padding:0;}
    .singular .entry-title {font-size:30px;}

    I’ll mark this issue as resolved.

    Thanks,

    Peter
