    Looking for a little assistance and help.

    site: https://www.cksla.org/temp-WP/mission-statement/

    I’m relatively new at this. I am trying to change the way the paragraph text is stylized on page & posts at a theme level. So I am assuming it will be in the themes style.css. In fact, inspecting the text it refers me to the style.css, with the below settings.

    .news_box .leftbox_content
    p { text-align: left;
    padding: 4px 0px 4px 0px;
    font-size: 12px;
    color: #910000;
    line-height: 14px; }

    I want the text to be change to this:

    .news_box .leftbox_content
    p { text-align: left;
    padding: 4px 0px 4px 0px;
    font-size: 13px;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
    color: #323232;
    line-height: 23px; }

    I made a copy of the style.css file and saved it to my desktop. I then edited the original file with the above specifications and saved the file.

    I do not know what happened, but the Nav Menus broke and so did some of the sheet style….

    I said no problem and re-installed my back-up style.css and the nav is still broken.

    I am at a loss. I check the back-up file and it is the original code.

    Please help….

    Thank you,
    Richard

  • Hi rrosi,

    I don’t see the issue of a broken navigation that you mention in your OP. You were correct in assuming your changes should be made to style.css, and you were very smart to make a local backup before making any changes.

    With the changes you have specified above, nothing should actually have broke visually.

    I would empty your browsers cache, and try viewing the page again. The issue will most likely be gone.

    Well, you tell your story OK, but I am not so sure what your question is.

    I took a look at your site and the navigation seemed to work fine for me. Did you refresh your browser after the CSS changes?

    Maybe you could say what you think is broken in your menu.

    After that, if you want to make edits to your CSS it is best to do it in a child theme or perhaps use a plugin designed for CSS editing such as Simple Custom CSS.

    Thank you guys,

    It was a simple browser refresh….

    I always forget to do that….

    I will look into the simple custom css plugin.

    Thanks again.
