Page alignment issue

  • So I made one additional change to my css within the Appearance -> Styling Options page on my Dashboard. I added a h1 {#CCC} to the “Custom CSS” field, and it wrecked the layout of my homepage! I immediately removed the addition, and the page is still laid out incorrectly. Would really appreciate if someone could tell me what happened, or what I am doing wrong.

    Thanks,

    Have you done any other changes to the theme? If not why not download the theme again and then install it over the current theme and it would overwrite the current theme.

    after doing this, you need to create a child theme and make it active so that all your changes are in the child theme and remain there. You don’t have to change anything in the core files. It is a very bad practice and sooner everybody learns this the better it would be for the WP community.

    Read about child theme here:

    Good luck.

    Yes, unfortunately this theme has been heavily modified. If I were to reset, a whole lot of work would be lost. I literally made one insignificant change within the “Custom CSS” field (as stated above), and all hell broke loose. Can you identify the problem? Has something been modified in my CSS that I have not accounted for? I assumed simply deleting the one change that I made would revert back to the previous layout. Was I wrong in using the “Custom CSS” field?

    You have javascript in your style.css file — did you add that? That does not work — javascript can’t go there. See if removing that fixes the problem.

    You also have a bunch of mark-up errors on the page — which may also be causing problems:
