Add CSS Code Snippets To Executive Pro

[GoodCat206]

I got spoiled with Prose! Is there an easy way to add CSS code snippets to Executive Pro?

And I noticed when i moved my blog from Prose to Executive the added CSS seemed to disappear.

I wanted to add code to create boxes in the text.

Thanks!

Hi there, Cathy:

I'm trying to be as supportive as I can here...

If you are going to be coding CSS (or any template changes), you really need to read up on how child themes work.

The CSS is SUPPOSED TO go into your child theme folder (in this case, it was originally in your Prose folder, but you probably didn't copy it over / apply it when you switched to Executive).

Also, the difficulty is that CSS code REFERENCES certain parts of the template files of a theme. So if by chance there is a certain part of the Prose theme which is called something else in the Executive theme, you are going to have to go in and edit your CSS.*

Anyway, not TRYING to be snarky - especially since it's a Friday afternoon and I have already gone over my snarkiness limit for the week :-p

Just trying to say politely that I think you might have created a minor headache for yourself.

Hope this helps, and apologies if it doesn't.

*Genesis is pretty good with their HTML5 child themes in keeping things named consistently from theme to theme, so there is a good chance that if you just ftp into your prose theme and dig out the css, you can then start pasting it into the css for your Executive child theme.

OK, that makes sense. No not snarky at all.
