Not sure if my 2012 child theme is working

    Hello,

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am new to web design and not confident that my child theme is being recognised or if I am doing it all wrong.

    I am not sure if this is possible but I am trying to allocate custom css to a specific page template. Basically I want to lose the white box in the theme and have a slider (Meteor slides) displayed over most of the page. I created a template for this page (full-width-slider-page) and thought that I would be able to set certain rules by adding the following code to my child .css file.

    /* Page structure - change background colour*/
.full-width-slider-page .site {
	padding: 0 24px;
	padding: 0 1.714285714rem;
	background-color: #001a35 !important;
}

    This has made no difference to my site.

    Can anyone please tell me if I am going about it wrong or if I have missed something obvious, help really appreciated.
    Ben

    Add this to your Child Theme stylesheet;

    body {
 border: 10px solid red !important;
}

    Thanks Andrew,

    It made a nice red border around the outside so I at least know that it is working.

    Any ideas on how to apply it to only the specified template?

    If you want styles applied to particular pages or templates, look at the <body> classes.

    Thanks for your help, I do some reading up on <body> classes.
