Editing in Custom Theme

Permalink
I'm building my first Concrete5 site, and while it may not be the best idea, I'm using a custom theme. C5 is only valuable if I can totally use my own HTML/CSS. I've uploaded my theme and it loads fine on the front end, but when I go into the editor and attempt to add a block there is no styling (two screenshots attached). I'm assuming I'm just missing something in the custom theme install. Any help would be appreciated.

You may want to separate the themes css from the concrete5 css. The c5 recommended way last I checked is to create a div to wrap your theme and call it c5wrap.

In your header start with

</head>

<body>
<div id="c5wrap">

You will than need to prepend all of your other divs with #c5wrap in your css to make it functional. Like #c5wrap nav li a { for example.

Again this was best practice last I checked which has been months but it will separate the styles and should solve your issue.
