[Theme: Scherzo] CSS Inserts section available?

How does the css file for the sub theme look? Do you include the css file from the parent theme?

for the child theme?
Here’s the css from the new child theme i’ve made:

[CSS moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please just post a link to your site.]

Now I read back through the code I wonder if this line:
‘@import url(“../scherzo/style.css”);’
should refer to the css file for the calendar plugin rather than the Scherzo style sheet??

Thanks

Jo

The child theme looks good. The problem is your css rules gets overridden by the calendar plugin. There are ways to tell WordPress which order it should load the css files, but that would need some changes in the theme.

Your options are:

1. Add !important after the property (i.e. overflow: inherit !important;). This only works if the plugin css doesn’t do the same.

2. Make changes directly to the plugin css (all-in-one-event-calendar/css/calendar.css). Don’t forget to migrate your changes if you update to a newer version.

3. Rewrite the theme to use wp_register_style/wp_enqueue_style with dependencies. All-in-One Event Calendar does this so it should work.

Thanks so much for this.

I did try to make the amends directly in the plugin css as I assumed this would be the easiest option, however, I can’t seem to allow myself the correct permissions to upload it with the amendments to the code. I have tried changing the document and the folder to 777 temporarily but it just tells me I don’t have permission.

it is only this one line that needs changing twice:
‘white-space: normal;’

Failing this I will try adding !important as you suggest to see if this fixes it.

Thank you so much

Unfortunately I’ve checked the calendar code and it does use !important so now I’m back to having to try to amend the actual calendar.css file but can’t seem to change the permissions on it. I wonder if this is a Mac thing and I should try changing permissions on a PC.
Has anyone else had experience of this or successfully been able to change permissions?
Thanks

Is this a local install or installed on a web server at some hosting company? If it’s hosted and you have access to cPanel you may be able to fix the permissions from there.

It’s hosted on a web server that uses Parallels Plesk Panel. I’ve tried logging in to Plesk as well to amend the permissions but still it won’t let me.

Again, I wonder if this is a Mac thing, I will try via a Windows PC I think and if that still doesn’t work I may have to admit defeat and give up ??

This is really frustrating me now ??

I have tried to do it on a Windows PC and still can’t change the permissions of the original calendar.css file, it just gives a warning saying I don’t have permission to change the permissions.

So I tried adding !important behind the two lines I had changed in my new/style.css child theme so they became ‘white-space: normal !important;’ and still no changes ??

Please, please, please any other ideas??

It’s hard to do anything if you can’t change the files on the server. I would like to help you but that would mean I’d have get access through Plesk or FTP.

All sorted now, thanks for your help josjo.

I’ve just discovered that there’s an editor section within plugins that allowed me to edit the calendar.css file in there!! D’oh

All up and working now though

thank you so much for your help
