before I did your nirvana upgrade last week all my custom css worked. now most don’t and they still do on the other tempera site I am working on but didn’t upgrade yet. the biggest thing is style css like span.firstline, doesn’t work. also the person has this site buried in a cpanel so its not easy to get to at all. I am hoping that gets resolved but I am stymied why this isn’t working and I’ve checked my code from sites I did in DW and they work as well.can u give me some guidance to make this work? thanks m

Hi marcella,

Your CSS is added just fine within the theme. The only problem is the actual CSS you are using. I suggest you read a bit about it if you’re going to use it extensively. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp

For example this:

element.style {
display: none;
float: right;
text-align: right;
padding: 5px 20px 5px;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 14px;}

does nothing. It’s probably copied from Firebug or something similar but it doesn’t do anything.

You also have spelling errors like ‘ffont-family’ here

h1 {text-transform:uppercase; ffont-family: ‘Cutive Mono’, serif; color: #699; font-size: 20px; }

Also, remove all media='all' text from the CSS. That pretty much ruins all the CSS. You’re just not using it right. Here’s a quick read on how to use them http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_mediatypes.asp

Good luck!
