I have dled and installed the customcss plugin from the official Plugins page.

But once activated I see no new menu or link to use it. Help :D

Please go to "Plugins", check the checkbox beside "Custom CSS" to activate the plugin, and click the settings wheel.

OMG I missed that thanks so much Edi!

I assume I just place the CSS code into the box and hit save. Do I need to use teh <style> tags?

You only have to add the CSS definitions (to modify the CSS of a theme by adding some code).

I should add a description. :oops:

Hi again Edi :) I am sorry but I am not 100% sure of what you mean, I have tried a couple of things and failed LOL

Also I am using the Aqua Theme would that be an issue?

Is it possible for you to give me a small example (of what your referring too)? Say change the background colour for the site?

If you for example want to change the background color to blue with the value #99d6ff you can add the following:

Code: Select all

main {
    background-color: #99d6ff;
}
Normally the background color is set with the element <body>. In this case it is set with the element <main>.

You can use the developper tools of your browser to inspect the code.
