Where do I edit the CSS file

Permalink
Ok I'm sort of new to this so I have no idea what to do.
Basically I'm trying to add a background to my page but I don't know how, I did some searching and people are saying that 'put this code in the CSS file of the yogurt theme'

And that's the thing, where can I modify the theme? I keep seeing that I'm just supposed to paste the url of the theme on my url bar but that opens the code but I can't edit it.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Strykes,

Well it all depends on what you want to do. If you are looking to have a background for the entire page you will have to edit the css. There is a add-on called backstretch that will do it for you very easily.

If you want to edit, you have to login to the dashboard. From there you can do everything. Please explain in a little more detail and I will try to help you. I am sure you are confused because you have confused me. With a little guidance, C5 is great.

Cheers

Hi, I'd like to know the answer to this question. Where do I find the css file that I'm supposed to edit?

I want to edit the width dimensions of a standard page from within the css file. I will probably be able to manage when I get in there but where is it. You mention It's possible from inside 'Dashboard' HOW?

Lots of people are saying "yea just edit the css" but no one seems to want to answer the question of where to find the css file.

Which theme are you using?

Hi egypt,

depends on the theme as Steevb has asked for as well. You can edit the css files of the theme there by working on your server files of that particular theme.

Some themes come with a way to customize the colors via the Dashboard. To do this, go the the dashboard, and under "Pages & Themes", go to "Themes". Look for your active theme, and click on the "Customize" button. From there, you should be able to edit a few things (if the theme has it).

However, if you need to do more unique modifications to the theme (like editing the source code), you can find the theme package in the root "packages" directory. Not all themes are the same, so you may need to dig around to find the CSS file within that theme package.

Generally, it may look something like this:

/packages/theme_package/themes/theme_title/css/style.css

Here is a useful "How-to" on modifying themes:

Hope this helps.
