I have created a UI (for wordpress plugin) in which I give user choice to add text, image, and video in a div ( lets call this div, container).
I have been working on it for a quite sometime. I recently added tinyMCE (WYSIWYG editor) to add text inside container.
Now, I realized that I did a big mistake. The text user writes is being overridden by css rules defined for wp admin panel.
for example,
User enters <h1>Hello</h1> (with the help of tinyMCE), and then I grab that content from tinyMCE and append that in the container.
But here the problem arises, wordpress's admin css can have css rule like this,
h1 {
color : #d6d6d6;
line-height: 40px;
font-size: 30px;
}
So, it looks different in tinyMCE and in my container. (as tinyMCE's code is inside iframe and that remains unaffected by wordpress's css rules, but my container doesnt)
I want something so that any element inside container remains unaffected by wordpress's admin css.
I know a good solution would be putting container inside iframe. But I have written a lot of code without thinking of an iframe and I would need 3-4 days just to adjust everything for iframe. There may be some cross browser issues.
I can reset some wordpress rules, but it will fail sometimes, as user may enter anything. I need something fullproof.
well if you want to undo a specific rule (say the h1 rule you mentioned) you can use css to override it by being more specific.
.container h1 {
color:#000000;
line-height: 24px;
font-size: 24px;
}
This will overwrite the css rule you mentioned with the given values but only when the element is inside the container class, (I'm guessing at the default values you want to use.)
Unfortunately you would have to add in an undo rule for everything that wordpress's admin css changes.
Another possible solution is to edit the page tinyMCE returns in it's frame to add in wordpress's CSS file. This means the end user will see the same formatting when they enter the information as when it gets posted.
Do you have code-level access to the iframe contents tinyMCE creates?
Use !important in your CSS document. This way your CSS will not be overridden as it takes precence over everything, including inline styles.
h1 {
color:#ff0 !important;
}

I Dont want this Span saying Taxes are included in the sale of this product, because this is an un-taxable product. My plan is just to change the color of text to hide it, but I cant seem to find the right area to change it.
Im using WordPress minimalist
Please follow the steps below to achieve what you want:
If you do not already have a child theme, create one with the name
YourThemeName-child in wp-content/themes. Replace YourThemeName
with the name of your theme.
Copy the CSS style from your main theme to your child theme.
Find the class of the element you want to hide by:
In Chrome: Right click on the element you want to hide and click on Inspect Element. From the console on the right, copy the CSS class of the element.
In your child theme CSS (the one that you copied from the main theme) add this code:
.element-class {
color: #ffffff;
}
/* Use !important if changes do not show. Refrain from using !important unless absolutely necessary */
Or if you want to not display it completely:
.element-class {
display: none;
}
/* Use !important if changes do not show. Refrain from using !important unless absolutely necessary */
To answer your question in the comments, yes, creating a new CSS file in child theme will override the main theme CSS.
Hope this helps.
I'm a CSS noob and have not been able to find a solution to my problem.
I run a drupal 7 website.
I need to change a specific block's font size. Using the CSS injector module I've only been able to change the change the font of all blocks using:
.block {font-size: 80%}
Obviously that makes sense as it's got a global application.
The div id for the block is: block-views-new-deals-block-block
The div class for the block is: block block-views contextual-links-region
There's also another div class called: view view-new-deals-block view-id-new_deals_block view-display-id-block view-dom-id-6b4fc98a10e3af5ef7e512f56f8d8c4c
I've tried this with no luck:
.block-views-new-deals-block-block {font-size: 80%;}
I've been messing around with the developer option in Firefox but haven't had any success. I don't know what to try next.
It's difficult to say without the whole HTML, but if the block you want to change the font-size has an ID you can use it like:
#block-views-new-deals-block-block { font-size: 80% }
I'm working on a Wordpress site and I'm quite new to this framework. There's some CSS on my page that's causing each "row of content" to have a 35px margin between it. This appears to be in a css class called wpb_row in a js_composer.css file. I'm not sure if this is some standard CSS class for Wordpress or if there's a global "have margin between each layer of content" setting.
Unfortunately I don't have 10 rep so I can't post an image of the page that's causing the issue but I can link to an image of where the issue is http://i.imgur.com/vEyznRn.png?1 and the url for the site is http://am12.siteground.biz/~youbambu/ecorecycling/
What's the best way to override a CSS class within Wordpress from a standard point of view? I've tried adding custom css to override this and remove the margin-bottom: 35px; in Appearence->Editor->Stylesheet.
Is it possible to either override this CSS in one global area? I'm using a theme called Picasso in wordpress if that's any help, but I don't see how to override this CSS.
To overrride the css use !important. So adding the following to your stylesheet should remove the margin bottom:
.vc_row.wpb_row.vc_row-fluid {
margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}
Is it possible to either override this CSS in one global area? I'm using a theme called >>Picasso in wordpress if that's any help, but I don't see how to override this CSS.
I would be careful editing/modifying there because I suspect you will lose these changes/modifications on theme updates (which Picasso auto updates).
The theme has a designated place located at Theme Options > Tools > Custom CSS. The adjustments you add here are loaded on every page, just like the stylesheet in editor. Furthermore, these changes are not cleared upon update.
Just my two cents, hope it helps.
You can easily achieve this goal. This is not a WordPress standard or something.
you can edit js_composer.css and change what you want. OR
you can override this css rule adding a new role after js_composer.css loads. Something like:
<style>
.wpb_row { margin-bottom: 0px!important }
</style>
I had thought that TinyMCE was supposed to remain untouched by the Diazo theme, however some CSS from somewhere is leaking in and making certain functions harder to use. One such example is below, the line height on all the rows has become super short, making each row hard to select.
In Firebug, I can fix this by adding a min-height value here, a value set in dialog.css:
.radioscrolllist .list {min-height: 2em;}
However, I cannot find where to actually set this and have it stick. I've tried putting it in the Diazo theme style.css, in ploneCustom.css, and customizing both portal_skins/tinymce/themes/advanced/skins/plone/dialog.css and portal_skins/tinymce/plugins/plonebrowser/css/plonebrowser.css — none of these seem to do the trick though.
Any ideas on how/where to make this fix? The problem only shows up on the Diazo version of the site, not from the unthemed version. It looks like the only CSS files that load on the TinyMCE iframe are:
dialog.css
plonebrowser.css
columns.css
This is what I have in my project CSS to deal with a similar issue, though I find different issues on each project depending on what I do with the general CSS & columns in particular:
/* Fix TinyMCE gremlins */
#internallinkcontainer div.row {
/* Image browser was jumbled */
float: none;
}
#content #internallinkcontainer .list.item span,
#content #internallinkcontainer .list.item a {
/* Link browser was packed too much */
position: inherit;
}
#internallinkcontainer input[type="radio"] {
vertical-align: middle;
}
/* #end */
Which get's my Link Browser looking like this again:
Apart from the Diazo-CSS troubles, it sounds like you might be having trouble with
plone.css getting cached. The following is from the developer manual with amendments by myself that have not yet been pulled in.
plone.css
plone.css is automagically generated dynamically based on the full portal_css registry configuration. It is used in e.g. TinyMCE to load all CSS styles into the TinyMCE in a single pass. It is not used on the normal Plone pages.
plone.css generation:
https://github.com/plone/Products.CMFPlone/blob/master/Products/CMFPlone/skins/plone_scripts/plone.css.py
Note: plone.css is #import-ed by dialog.css which "hides" it from a browser refresh of a normal Plone page, even when Plone is in development mode. This means you may find you do not see your CSS updates within the TinyMCE plugin (e.g. in the link/image browser) whilst developing your theme. If this is the case, then simply do a hard refresh in your browser directly on: /plone.css to clear the cached version.
I just faced the same issue last week. My workaround was adding this in my theme's CSS (the tinymce dialogs are not part of the iframe that contains the content being edited; they are in the main frame):
#internallinkcontainer.radioscrolllist { line-height: auto !important; }
#internallinkcontainer .list.item span, #internallinkcontainer .list.item a { position: static !important; }
(Clearly we should find a less hacky solution, but I haven't had a chance.)
You almost answered it to yourself: You can customize column.css, that'll work, no important-declarations needed.
Additionally this seems not to be Diazo-related, the ploneCustom.css will also not be delivered to the dialog-window in a non-diazo'ed site, hmm.
I have a page from which I call fancybox which contains some html template (something like an email template). The problem is that all CSS from the main page affects the content in the fancybox and vice versa. What I would like is to isolate them somehow, so that their CSSs don't affect each other.
Example: I have background image set for h3 for the main page. Also, in fancybox I have h3 element which has no CSS assigned to it, but it pulls the style from the main page and gets the same background image (which shouldn't happen).
Is this somehow possible?
You could split your CSS into multiple files, only pulling in what you need to for each html. If you aren't able to do that you can give the body a specific #id for your template that gets loaded into the fancybox.
<body id="fancy_content">
and then adapt your styles for that template
body#fancy_content h3 {
color: green;
}
You may still end up with a bit of style clash if you leave it in one file but this will give you a method to go on to get it working.
You have 3 options really.
Run the fancybox content in iframe mode which means the content will have to be on it's own page without the main stylesheet. You can do any styling you like here or none at all.
Reset styles in the fancybox content, though this may be quite tedious depending on the number of elements affected.
Place the fancybox content outside the main #wrapper div of your page, and make all page styles inherit from #wrapper. i.e. instead of h3 {...} use #wrapper h3 {...}
try adding IDs to your html elements then use CSS IDs
h3#idname { color: #FF0000; }
