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?

Cheers

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.
