I used a lot of bootstrap template that I didn't download, when I open the 'inspect' to change the color etc it show a ..bootstrap.min.scss (something like that) link that I can't even open. Is it posibble to modified the template without having the css file in our computer?
you can always override the styles applied by a framework or external style sheet by creating rules that are more specific. Let's say the bootstrap code styles your links, you will have to create a more specific rule that overrules the previous in your own style sheet on your local machine.
Let's say bootstrap styles the a tag, you can give your body a class like:
<body id="cherry">
my link
</body>
in your css file:
#cherry a {
color: magenta;
}

Hello for some reason my custom CSS is being overwritten, I have correctly placed my custom CSS below the CDN bootstrap reference but that does not seem to solve the issue. For example if I am trying to change the font color for a header with an h1 inside. When using classes or id's the font color will not change. Though if I target the header by writing whats below in my CSS file it does work
header h1 {
color: white;
}
I do have an some understanding about specificy but I would assume declaring it with a class or id should be specific enough and go over the _reboot.scss file but it does not seem to. I am using BootStrap 5.
In your example cdn or node_modules css always on top. After that put your custom css files.
Order of prioritization when using multiple contradictory css files
I am using a template (A). This has some CSS files and I want to inlcude an other template (B) in this template and the other template has also some CSS files. By including the css of template B in A, some forms are looking different because of the new CSS of template B.
How can I inlcude all CSS files of both template without replacing some forms.... Can I set a priority to one CSS? Or is there a tool where I can put more CSS files which will compress all CSS files to one?
Or can I use one CSS file to only one DIV?
CSS means "Cascading Style Sheets". Here "Cascading" means that If something is found two times than the last has priority. So link the CSS file at last which you want to give priority. You can also use !important to give priority. For instance:
color: red !important;
Here red will be used overall.
I’m not completely sure what you are trying to do.
However assuming you want to link more than 1 css file to page. You could play with priorities of CSS selectors. An ID for example has more priority than a Class. You could also make them more specific.
For example:
body ul li span {
Color: red;
}
Span {
Color: blue;
}
Here the span should be red
You should try to include the CSS you want for your login page only (template (B)) into your login page HTML only, like for instance:
index.html file :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="templateA.css">
login.html file :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="templateB.css">
The objective if simply to avoid conflicts between both template, you cannot use both of them on the same page it will cause a lot of bugs and slowdown your website a lot.
Please feel free to ask me in the comment if I'm not clear about anything.
I'm trying to edit some background on a page. I don't have access to the html file, only .css and .js. The page has a default theme that won't expand the background on the whole screen (bottom) because of the structure. I managed to swap the default background .png with an animated gradient through css but now I need to change the div. Tried with the #import url at the very top of the css file to call an external css but it won't work. Are there any ways to override the html structure? thank you
Forgot to say that I don't have access to the default template's css either. The service keeps everything on the server and once I installed the template in the local folder (the whole thing works with dropbox) I found an additional .css and .js in which I can add other code, though they come basically blank. What I need to do is to override the template's div structure from one of those 2 files. Using DevTools i found the name of the template div class and I guess I can download the relative .css. Still don't know how to override it... I'm not too familiar with coding in general...
Not clear with what you're trying to do. But you can always use Javascript DOM manipulation functions.
Check out this link for that: http://callmenick.com/post/basics-javascript-dom-manipulation.
You can also use jquery which provides better API.
If it is in some class definition or in a stylesheet file then use selector with high Specificity to get your definition on high priority
.oldclass{
width:328px;
height:328px;
background-image:url('http://via.placeholder.com/328x328');
}
/*Your New definition*/
div.oldclass{
background-image:url('http://via.placeholder.com/328x328');
}
<div class="oldclass">
</div>
If it is in inline style, then use !important tag
.oldclass{
width:328px;
height:328px
}
/*Your New definition*/
div.oldclass{
background-image:url('http://via.placeholder.com/328x328') !important;
}
<div class="oldclass" style="background-image:url('https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/fca24c2acab4d63343d4608ce256dcec?s=328&d=identicon&r=PG&f=1');">
</div>
I am modifying the bootstrap freelancer theme.In the Contact me section when trying to overwrite the "Name" label's color that appears when you try to type in the name input field it appears with #18BC9C but I want it to appear with #3fcbc7. It seems its styling is coming due to a class from a parent div that changes when I click on the input inside.I tried using dev tools "Break on..Attribute modifications" but maybe I'm doing it wrong. I took the classes I saw it had and tried to overwrite it that way as its worked for the other elements but its not working here. My CSS
custom.css
#page-top .floating-label-form-group-with-focus{
color:#3fcbc7!important;
}
#page-top .form-group col-xs-12 floating-label-form-group controls
floating-label-form-group-with-value floating-label-form-group-with-
focus {
color:#3fcbc7!important;
}
Added !important but nothing changed. Added the body id(page-top) for priority but didn't change. I don't want to edit the min css file since I heard that is considered bad practice
Try this by adding this style in your index.html itself
<style>
floating-label-form-group-with-focus label {
color: #3fcbc7;
}
</style>
Or you can add your css which you have provided above ^^
Check in your <head> that you're calling your custom css file AFTER the Bootstrap CSS file. Your custom styles should be called last as the browser reads these CSS rules in order. So if your Bootstrap CSS file comes AFTER your custom one, it's overwriting your custom style sheet.
hi guys im trying to overwrite the styles on our wp plugin and style it in our own style sheet is there a way to do this? ive tried making classes for them in the style sheet with the same name as the plugin, ive also tried using !improtantafter... here is what it looks like in dev console.
and this is the code i used to try and overwrite the css for the plugin.
#ai20 h3{ font-weight:bold!important; }
also ive added this just to make sure and still nothing.
.statistics h3 { font-weight:bold!important; }
i have no clue why its not updating the css if anyone can give me a have i would be much appreciated.
The new rule you wrote has not been applied, as you can see in the screenshot you posted, so check the CSS file you added it to and make sure:
That CSS file is linked correctly
The style is not nested in some other rule
The CSS file is not cached (hard refresh)
You can use a custom CSS plugin, a child theme or simple add you overwriting rule to the end of your main CSS file within the editor in Wordpress.
Also, the ID will take precedence over the class, even if the class comes after it. Why are you trying to override with the same property/value?
Once the rule is being correctly applied, this will work fine:
.statistics h3 { font-weight:bold }
Use the plugin https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/
it automatically overwrites your current css and adds the new one, I always use it! All you have to do is call the id or class you want to style in the plugin and style it as you normally would.
