Custom HTML for post

Hi, thanks for posting your question.

Where are the styles shown in your screenshot stored? Where does the styling originate from?

On another note, your child theme style.css file ideally should only contain your customizations. It looks like your child theme style.css file is a duplicate of the parent stylesheet. I’m not sure where the parent style.css file is. If you know what’s happening here then no worries.

Hello Andrew,

I sincerely wish I knew the answer to your questions. ?? Styles in screenshot? I haphazardly created the child theme based on vantage instructions because it was suggested prior to upgrading my Word Press to a newer version. I had no idea if I did it correctly or not so it appears not. I copied the parent stylesheet to do this so that’s on me.

As for customizations, I don’t know if there are any and I don’t know how to find out if there are.

I am beginning to believe that maybe I should just stick with the plain post to avoid further confusion on my part. ??

Thanks for the update.

If you haven’t added any code-level customizations to your child theme you can install the starter version listed at the below URL:

How did you add the gold table borders in your screenshot and are those changes published?

Thanks for responding.

I added the gold table borders by placing the following code in a custom html box: (Screenshot 1)

Hi, apologies for missing your reply. I’m not sure what happened with email notifications. Have you perhaps made progress?

No progress made. I have been waiting on a response after have posted the html code that I entered in my previous message.

I don’t understand what this means at the bottom of my previous message:

Thanks for the update.

I’m unsure who could have modified your reply; perhaps forum moderators?

I’m unsure where the additional styles in the preview are originating from. You can perhaps give your table a class name as follows:

<table class="gold-table">

At Appearance > Custom CSS or Customize > Additional CSS you can target the class name:

table.gold-table {
border: 4px solid #ffd700;
}

table.gold-table tr {
border: 1px solid #ffd700;
}

The CSS rules and declarations can be customized as required.
