I’m inside the New Post page on WP-Admin, where you can create a new post.
At the right column, there’s the category selector, in which you select the category for that new post.
I have something like 15 categories, and therefore the category box is showing with a scrolling bar. Since I need to automate some post creation, I need all the categories to be visible right away, without having to scroll.
So I found the css file that manages the height of the category box (it’s inside /wp-admin/css/edit.css and //wp-admin/css/edit-rtl.css) and there I changed the CSS files to allow a bigger height by default on that box.
However when I open the new post page, it still shows the small box in categories, and when I see the CSS rule, the change I made is not visible. It’s like the CSS is cached or something. I already made sure that my browser is not caching it.
The problem I think it’s because the CSS rules are not pulled directly from CSS files, but from this file:
http://www.website.com/wp-admin/load-styles.php?c=0&dir=ltr&load%5B%5D=dashicons,admin-bar,buttons,media-views,common,forms,admin-menu,dashboard,list-tables,edit,revisions,media,themes,about,nav-menu&load%5B%5D=s,widgets,site-icon,l10n,wp-auth-check&ver=4.7
That file seems to go and gather the CSS information from some place (which I assumed was the CSS files in the wp-admin/css/ folder, in which I could find the exact same CSS rules that were applied to the category box) but for some reason, it’s not retreiving the updated CSS file. Or something else is happening (Server side caching the PHP response and therefore retreiving all the time the old response?)
I wouldn't recommend tampering with core admin files, as any changes you make could be lost from a WordPress update.
The proper way to do it is through a custom function added to your theme or child-theme functions.php file:
add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_css');
function custom_admin_css() {
echo '<style>
/* remove scrollbar from categories panel */
.categorydiv div.tabs-panel { max-height: none !important; }
</style>';
}
Another options that will allow you to have CSS for individual pages is to use this OH header/footer plugin. Once you install the plugin you can then add your CSS in the header textarea of the pages admin. Just make sure you enclose your CSS within a <style></style> tag.

I am new in WordPress,
I want to know how to add footer other then default footer
( example: Footer file name - home-footer.php and need to use for home page, same as contact-us-footer.php for contact us page ). let me how i can achieve this.
if you are adding your files in theme or WordPress core files then this will automatically remove when your WordPress will be updated unless you creat child theme so just better to create to footers with any page builder I recommend elementor and then hide that with page id you will find that in the body tag of every page like this
.page-id-111 .footer{
display:none;}
Let me know if you don't understand anything
You have to name the file footer-home.php. Then you can call this footer in the page template (i.e. page-home.php) using get_footer('home').
Wordpress will use the right file, if it is named correctly starting with footer-*.php.
Basically on my bakery's WordPress blog page http://www.omigretchen.de/novedades/ I would like to hide the meta data displayed below each post preview. Usually I always succeed in using the console and trigger the class.
As it shows in this case I use a display:none on the class .entry-meta. Nevertheless it does not work. Does anyone has an idea what to do?
Are you certain that you've added .entry-meta { display: none; }? Because I don't see it. Make sure you put it where it'll be printed to the page.
A better way to do it is by editing the archive.php and either remove or comment the code that prints the entry-meta block.
I have purchased MasterStudy theme for my website and It doesn't have a template with no header or footer to create a landing page. My question is: how can I create a page with such template via its child theme and use visual composer to add the content? Is this possible?
Not sure if I completely understood your situation, but I'll try to help anyway.
Have you checked all the Theme Options? Sometimes you can easily delete the footer and header through the Theme Options. In case you have and there's not an option to do so, the smart move would be to create a custom page to fit your needs. You'll find some information about how to do so right here http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-create-a-custom-page-in-wordpress/
Remember that the visual composer only edits the content of the webpage per se, meaning, it can't modify the template structure (footer and header in this case).
Hope it helps!
Actually, the solution is much more simple than I thought. I resolved it by adding custom CSS to hide the header and the footer of the page by mentioning Its ID. Here is the Code I used >>
.page-id-2114 #header {
display: none;
}
.page-id-2114 footer {
display: none;
}
Usually I set up pages in Wordpress by putting all the HTML in and the client will edit the content in the WYSIWYG editor
This is great, until they accidentally delete a div or break something.
What is the correct way to go about this making it idiot proof, so that they can change titles, paragraphs etc without potentially deleting parts of the structure?
If your client does not know HTML, and you know this going into the project, the only things he/she should be inputting in the page editor are words, uploaded media, and elements that can be inserted using the visual editor. It's a pain in the butt, but your theme should be the part that's "idiot proof".
Build your theme to wrap the_content(); in a div, and style all the potential elements that can be input accordingly. Only rely on elements that can be added using the CKEditor.
e.g. (within the loop, in a theme template file)
<div id="myContentDiv">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
Then your CSS:
#myContentDiv p {
}
#myContentDiv ul {
}
etc.
There's a few options that comes to me right now:
Use jquery plugins to get columns (which is pretty bad IMHO)
Use a plugin with shortcodes (so you wrap each column with them), which is good but user may screw it up yet
Use custom fields (like one text area "Right column content", then you have another text area "Left column content" and so on)
All these 3 are quite easy to implement! :)

I use my custom block for displaying a flash game at the front page of my Drupal 7 installation, but there is also the annoying message:
<div id="first-time"><p>No front page content has been created yet.</p>
<div class="item-list"><ul><li class="first last">
Add new content</li>
</ul></div></div>
below it and I can't remove it. Is there please a hook for adding custom CSS? In my module I would like to make the #first-time light grey or invisible.
I prefer not to add a blank content just to get rid of that text.
Thank you!
Alex
UPDATE:
I've added the following to my module:
function game_init() {
drupal_set_message('XXX init called XXX');
if (drupal_is_front_page()) {
drupal_add_css('#first-time {color: green;}', 'inline');
}
}
but don't see that CSS-code or XXX string inside my front page.
UPDATE2:
Oh, I had to clear the cache and now it works (the Drupal docs seem to be wrong here - there was written that 'inline' CSS is not cached...)
Hiding the CSS is the WRONG way of doing it. why did you created your content as a Custom Block?
you should create a "Page" and set this page as front page in the Configuration->Site Information.
Whatever. you can also use any of these options but is not recommended.
you can also also add a BlankPage by Adding only the Title(then hiding it in PHP on page.tpl.php)
you can add your css in /templates/themes/bartik.info
you can call drupal_add_css on the _init() hook of your custom module.
Blocks are used to display information in every page(although we can set to display only on certain pages). Say For Example. A Menu, or A Shopping Cart etc.
If you want to add some CSS for a module, you should use drupal_add_css()
Why not simply add this CSS to your theme?
