Worked perfectly thanks so much! How would I reference the "category description" in my css to style it?

 

 

 

 

[Brad Dalton]

Try this for starters:

.archive-title {
    background: url("images/sidebar-headline.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border: 5px solid #C9BC93;
    color: #65635B;
    font-size: 18px;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
    margin: 0 -25px 10px 0;
    padding: 10px 10px 10px 15px;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px #F5F3ED;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

This will only style your category archive headlines.

Is there anything else i can help you with Kendra?

Hi Brad & Kendra,

Do you have a way to stylize the actual category description? I have added the code to my functions file, but would love to change the description using CSS. In the code it's just putting <p> tags around the description without a class, so I assume I need to add a class somehow to the function, or add a separate function?

Thanks for sharing!

I have the same problem bhoodWWA I need stylize the actual category descriptions.

[Brad Dalton]

There's a couple of classes you can use to style the archive description and title:

div class="archive-description taxonomy-description"
h1 class="archive-title">Web Design</h1
