accessing main.css
Permalink
I couldn't find a forum entry to fully answer this so I figure I would try anew. Sorry if this has already been answered and, if it has, please direct me to the previous post.
I have set up a website via C5 using the dark chocolate theme.
I want to change some things in the default theme. Using firebug, I can see where the fix needs to be made. Now I just need to be able to edit main.css.
I can't seem to be able to download it to edit and am stuck there.
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Thanks, madeforspace.
I can find the code. It's just I can't seem to figure out how to edit it.
I have tried copying it to a text editor and changing it but then I can't overwrite the main.css. I can't seem to figure out how to save it as a file to then edit, etc.
Might you direct me how to make changes - even if it is for something as simple as changing the font size on a sidebar?
[#page #central #sidebar ul.nav{ list-style:none; margin-left:0px; padding:0px; padding-left:24px; font-size:11px;}]

I assume you have ftp access and you are uploading your modified file over the top of the original main.css (make sure you have a backed up copy just in case).
You can try deleting the cache of your browser and also your C5 cache which is in System & Settings/Clear cache as these can hang on to your old CSS.
What are you using as your file editor?

aha. I am not using ftp access. A friend set up a FileZilla connection for a website he put together. I can try to set that up for this website.
Also, I typically use TextPad for editing.

So I have to use FTP to access the CSS files?
Hope that helps
