Custom Formatting on Child Pages

  • I am super new to WordPress so I apologize in advance if this is a silly question. I am trying to create a static page. No blogging as of now. I used the Attorney theme and I have a main page that I am pretty happy with. I have installed the nested pages plugin and I am starting to work on my child pages. I am looking for a way to add columns and layout to the child pages without using tables as I know tables for formatting is not the recommended way of doing things these days. I tried to put in some custom CSS, but my code just showed up as text. I just haven’t found a good way of accomplishing my goal yet. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

  • Do you mean that custom css is not applying on child pages ?

    Yes, but it could be I am just doing things wrong. For example I go to pages. Choose to edit my child page and then I click the text tab and enter the code. It really didn’t seem right to me, but I didn’t see anywhere else to enter html code so that was my best guess. I click update and the page just shows the text of my code. It is not rendering the code properly.

    I am open to easier ways to custom format these pages if CSS isn’t my best bet. I’ll even install one of the Table plugins and do it that way if I have to. I was just hoping to make it clean and correct.

    I hope I answered your question.

    By default, it should work when you put HTML in “text” tab, then on front end you will get properly formatted structure and not the HTML code, it also depends on your theme which you are using, have you tried this issue with default wp theme(2012,2014 etc) ? is that same thing happening for default ?

    No, I haven’t tried it with a default theme. I can look into that when I get some time though. It is possible there was a problem with my code as well. I plan on spending some time digging into CSS over the next couple of weeks anyway.

    Thanks again!
