Question regarding Category Titles Styling and Posts

  • So I have added an <h3><?php the_category(); ?></h3> in the header to single.php so that I have an h3 header above each post h2 title so there is a semi transparent box there which relates to the h3 and the listing of the category of the post “blog”. But, I cannot find the css style specific to the category listing in style.css. I want to get rid of the 1px gray line beneath and change the font color and underline of the h3 used for the category. I have scanned through the style.css until my eyes hurt and have tried changing out anything relative by trial and error, but I cannot pinpoint where its drawing that specific styling used in the h3 for <h3><?php the_category(); ?></h3>. The other h3 styles for widget titles is what I want for the individual post’s category titles. Can anyone pinpoint the where its pulling the style form.
    Thanks for any help or advice!!!

  • It’s the h3 tag on line 57 of style.css. All those styles are set for the sidebar headings. The code that you added is the same code using for the sidebars — so it actually added a list as the heading — look at the rendered HTML — that may or may not be what you want there.

    You’d need to add a more specific CSS selector to separate the styles from the sidebar ones…i.e.

    #sidebar h3 {...
    or

    #content h3 { ...

    Try using Firebug to work with CSS — it will show you exactly the CSS affecting a specific element on a page.
