Help with myclass Custom CSS options to use custom skin colour

    Hi,

    Thank you for this plugin – it is making certain pages on my site look really good ?? I appreciate the easy to follow instructions and can cope with everything except making the skin and title a different colour.

    Here is the info I added to the pages:

    [child_pages thumbs=’large’ link_thumbs=”true” link_titles=”true” hide_more=”true” hide_excerpt=”true” cols=”1″ class=”myclass-ccchildpages”]

    I followed the instructions on another (closed) post and can add the custom css you quoted there to the CC Child Pages options / Custom CSS but, changing the colours to the # number I want makes no difference. I managed to remove the grey background but it goes to white, not the colour I want to specify.

    Here is what I have entered there and saved:

    Here is what it is producing:

    I thought it ought to have a dark blue title, a dark blue bounding box, and a light blue background, using the #numbers I put in the Custom CSS. ..

    What am I doing wrong? I would like to ‘play’ with this to see what I like – I may end up with what I have now, but it is frustrating me that I can’t change things ??

    Can you help me with this please? I’d very much appreciate any pointers you could give me.

    SUSAN

    Hi

    Firstly, the quotes you have used when specifying the custom class are not standard double quotes … if you look at your screenshot you will see that they differ from the quotes around the other parameters, the end result is that the quotes are also included when the class is output to HTML. (You can see this when looking at the source code of your page.)

    You may find that switching to Text Mode in the WordPress editor is better when entering the shortcode.

    Getting that sorted should fix the border and background colour and border.

    Next, you are specifying a class that is not used by the plugin for the title link: my_link_title_class

    If you replace this with the ccpage_title_link the colours you specify should show up … to specify this so that it only affects pages where you specify the myclass-ccchildpages class, use the following:

    .myclass-ccchildpages .ccpage_title_link:link {
    color: #2d84c4;
}

    I hope that this helps … let me know if you are still having problems.

    As I haven’t heard back, I am assuming that this issue is resolved.

    If you are still having problems, please do not hesitate to let me know.
