Thanks. That worked sufficiently after taking out the .template-Front-Page.

Yeah thats the page

That code works if I take out the .template-Front-Page, but is applied to all pages.

Hi
What I am specifically trying to do is simply move the sidebar to the left side of the page of the Front-Page template (front-page.php). I added
@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
.site-content.template-Front-Page {
float: right;
}
.widget-area.template-Front-Page {
float: left;
}
}

/* for IE8 and IE7 —————-*/
.ie .site-content.template-Front-Page {
float: right;
}
.ie .widget-area.template-Front-Page {
float: left;
}
to the main style.css file, but it didn’t work. I also tried switching the .site-content with the .template-Front-Page, to no avail. What is wrong with the code?

So back to my original question. How can I add css to a specific page template? It has a custom header.php file that is different from the rest of the site. I’ve also made an external css stylesheet called front.css. I’ve tried adding

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”front.css” media=”screen” />

in various configurations to my custom header file based on other threads, but that doesn’t seem to work.
Thanks again.

Thanks, yeah, I certainly understand the utility of a child theme. They are important. Hopefully it should be easy to implement.

I have used a child theme without problem before installing the WP Symposium. However, in order to get WP Symposium work properly I had to start with a fresh install of wordpress, and re-implement whatever modifications I had previously made. I initially tried to make a child theme after installing WP Symposium, but it changed the entire layout and setup of the site. I will contact them directly about making a child theme.

Hi WPyogi
I am in the process of trying to figure out how to work in a child theme with the WP symposium, I understand its value. I have all of the default theme files saved, and will import them back in when I have figured out how to make a child theme congruent with WP symposium. In the meantime, I am also trying to figure out to style a specific page template.

Hi indyspears. Have you figured this issue out yet? I have had the exact same problem for about the last week. It redirects to the same url, and I am also hosted at namecheap.
