Activating custom CSS/HTML

[lyseoy]

I’ve added some custom CSS and HTML. Checked the preview, and everything looks great.

Now I want to commit these changes, but how? I don’t see any commands for this, and I tried rebuilding the discourse app, but nothing happens.

My searches come up empty. This is probably so easy, nobody ever asked how to do it, but this noob could use a hint…

Seems irrelevant but I don’t really understand.

I’ve added some custom CSS and HTML.

Where? Custom Theme, default theme?
Common css / desktop css / mobile css?
More details on what you have done will be helpful.

Usually you just select a theme /admin/customize/themes and do this:

Once you hit that save button, changes show up pretty much instantly as long as the theme you have edited is active.

[lyseoy]

What you did. In the video. Except I can only see the changes when I hit the Preview button.

[Vaping_Community]

Have you got the theme selected as the active default theme? See the green tick?

[lyseoy]

Yes. I’ve edited the standard light theme, and it’s active and default.

Ok, can you list the changes you made please

Link to the website would also be helpful

nav#bar a.www-btn {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #fff !important;
}
.d-header {
    background: linear-gradient(-90deg,  #F2E88F,  #a3e6ff);
    background-size: 100% 100%;
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    box-shadow: 0 2px 6px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
}
.d-header .icons .icon {
    color: #555;
}

I’ll post the content of the Header in a bit. The forum keeps rendering the html when I paste it…

@lyseoy

nav#bar #logo {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    flex-basis: 100%}

This is wrong, should be

nav#bar #logo {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    flex-basis: 100%;
}

That’s it! Well spotted, you’ve got a keen eye!

Funny that the preview didn’t mind that syntax error.

[Vaping_Community]

Glad you got it working

• Any errors in your CSS will render that CSS void.
• I’ve never used preview before so I can’t comment on that.
• I’m sure there used to be an error notification on the page

Oh and Happy Birthday @tshenry Have a good one
