I have some CSS for a Wordpress blog. I want paragraphs to indent, but blocks of code to align left to the margin. This is the code that I have---all of these elements appear with a <div class="postContent" tag, and Wordpress automatically wraps post text blocks in <p> tags.
First, I've set all paragraphs within the div tags to indent:
.postContent p {
font-size: 1.2em;
text-indent: 2.5em;
text-align: justify;
line-height: 1.6em;
margin: 1em;
}
Then, Wordpress sets aside the first paragraph as a .lead paragraph. I want that to indent, provided it's not code:
.postContent p.lead code {
margin: 0;
text-indent: 0;
}
That works just fine. However, all the other code paragraphs are still indenting, so I added this to the stylesheet:
.postContent p code {
text-indent: 0;
padding: 0;
padding-top: 2em;
padding-bottom: 2em;
}
No dice. The code blocks are still indenting according to the .postContent p rule.
Setting text-indent on a code element inside a p element does not affect the indentation of the p element. It does not affect anything, really, since text-indent applies to block containers only.
If the markup is <p><code>...</code></p> so that the p contains nothing but the code, you can add
.postContent p code { display: block; }
and then consider what to do with vertical spacing, which may be a bit excessive after the addition (namely margins of p plus padding of code).
It's really hard to say without seeing both the source for the html and the actual css code, but I'm guessing your styles are being overridden by a more specific style.
The best thing for you to do is install Firebug in Firefox (really, the best development tools for a browser, IMHO) and inspect the targeted elements. The inspector should display all the styles being applied to the element. The overridden styles will have a strikethrough it. If you see they are being overridden, make your styles more specific. Otherwise, if you don't see your style listed, then you're not correctly targeting it.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

On my website, I added the following code which I had only intended to apply to my posts, like this.
#media screen and (min-width: 767px) {
p {
font-size: 21px;
padding-right: 20%;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 20%;
}
}
Obviously, it was applied to all the pages on the website. It's fine on some pages, but the homepage/frontpage is messed up on computers. If you scroll down, the excerpts (descriptions) below the posts have these margins applied to them.
How can I make the change above only apply to posts and not to the frontpage/homepage? To be clear, I want to remove these paddings from the homepage/frontpage. I want to keep them on my posts.
This is one of the suggestions people gave me that didn't work. If I decreased the number from 20%, nothing happened. The margins got bigger if I increased the padding, as if the minimum is set to 20%.
.home .posts-loop .entry-summary{
font-size: 21px;
padding-right: 20%;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 20%;
}
Welcome Ahmed.
The suggestion that people gave you that didn't work, is related to class names (note the point before the names: .home | .ports-loop | .entry-summary . This indicates that are classes).
In your first sample you only use p . This affect to all p html elements.
So, your solution is to add a class to the paragraphs where you want to aply the css rules:
<p id="xxxx" name="xxxx" class="SomeClass">
And then, in your css code, use .SomeClass {...} to set the rules to apply.
This rules should be applied only in the elements set as class="SomeClass", and not to other elements.
For home page/front page just give another custom class name and just give padding to 0 or else you want and write " !important ".For e.g .cstm_home { padding: 0 !important; } . I hope it will solve your issue.
An easy way I see around this is to create a different stylesheet for the homepage. I'm not sure if you're using a global stylesheet, if you are, you should remove the line that links the CSS to this page.
A more prudent approach would be to use another type of selector instead of your paragraph tag, put an id in all the paragraphs you would like to style the aforementioned way and use this id or any other selector in your CSS.
Cheers!
I hope this helps....
What I would suggest is to add a class to the p tag on home page. The HTML should be like
<p class="homepagepara">blah blah blah.....</p>
And the css will be like.
p.homepagepara {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
}
After you have created the class you can style those pages any way you want. And it will target the home page paragraphs only. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions
I wish you had shared your HTML as well. But a general answer is that you are selecting all the p elements in the html document to have the mentioned paddings. So of course it's applied everywhere on the page.
Solution 1: If they're separate html pages you can link separate stylesheets and include the paddings only in the desired pages.
Solution 2: Be more specific with the css selector. For example if the wrapper div for the posts has the class of .posts, write your css as following:
.posts p {
font-size: 21px;
padding-right: 20%;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 20%;
}
I am working out of wordpress. I have tried using inspect element to move a line of text that is basically overlapping another line of text in the ecwid plugin.
It does not seem to work, every time I edit the css code by using margins or padding attributes nothing happens
On my page where it says $205 for the product , was $295 is touching it and I want to separate that from the actual price.
How can I achieve this?
I have tried using this code
html#ecwid_html body#ecwid_body div.ecwid-productBrowser-price-compareTo-container{
padding-bottom: 5px;
}
here is a look at exactly what im reffering to
https://surveillanceshack.com/store/#!/Elec-Surveillance-system-w-4-bullet-&-4-dome/p/55396210/category=0
Add a line height like this:
html#ecwid_html body#ecwid_body div.ecwid-productBrowser-price {
font-size: 24px;
font-weight: 400;
color: #a20505;
white-space: nowrap;
line-height: 21px;
}
Both of your prices are included inside the same div. When you have text that wraps, the only way to separate them is to define a height between the lines.
To fix your checkout problem fix the line-height there as well on this class:
.hentry table, #comments table {
margin-bottom: 1em;
font-size: 80%;
line-height: 21px;
}
If you want to fix this problem in one single CSS set of instructions do this instead:
.hentry table, #comments table, .ecwid-productBrowser-price {
line-height: 21px;
}
The issue is that it is a span element, which does not really accept margin / padding well.
The element in question is this:
html#ecwid_html body#ecwid_body .ecwid span
So, to make it have space above it, you can add this style to the stylesheet (at the end):
html#ecwid_html body#ecwid_body .ecwid span {
display: inline-block;
padding-top: 15px;
}
Adjust the padding-top to suite your desired layout.
Alternatively, you could do this by increasing the line-height of the element (in which case it does not need to be display: inline-block):
html#ecwid_html body#ecwid_body .ecwid span {
line-height: 2.5em;
}
It is a span element, to make padding active, you need to add :
{
display :inline-block;
}
You can set padding for "was" element.
html#ecwid_html body#ecwid_body div.ecwid-productBrowser-price-compareTo-container, html#ecwid_html body#ecwid_body div.ecwid-productBrowser-price-save-container {
padding-bottom:5px;
}
(Ecwid team here)
While the answers here can help to fix the issues yourself, we will investigate how Ecwid works with your "DMS" theme and make sure to fix those on our side. The issue is already in our devs queue, we will roll out the solution in one of the Ecwid plugin updates in the near future.
Been looking at a premium theme and see that for various text and elements on the page, when inspected - many have inherit and 0 for the values.
Why would these not be left blank if they are not required and automatically inherited from the parent? Does it perhaps save on load time?
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
outline: 0;
font-size: 100%;
font: inherit;
vertical-align: baseline;
font-family: inherit;
font-size: 100%;
font-style: inherit;
font-weight: inherit;
This is done to override browser defaults.
Most browsers themselves apply their own style declarations to make basic HTML pages look prettier. Unfortunately these style declarations often clash with how a designer wants a web page to look. The way to overcome this is to reset the styles to what they should be by default.
Example
A good example of this is with heading and p tags. Take the following example:
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<p>Woah, that's a big heading!</p>
Without any custom styling applied, these elements use styles provided by the browser. One of the styles used here is margin, and that's what's putting the large gaps between each element.
We can reset these ourselves by setting the margin to 0:
* {
margin: 0;
}
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<p>Woah, that's a big heading!</p>
Because of the need to reset such styles public stylesheets like Normalize.css exist, whose intention is to do nothing more than reset (and normalize) all elements to look the same across different browsers.
It would appear that that bootstrap puts a 10px margin on the top and bottom of the pager and I would like to cut that down to 2px and also make the height of the pager a bit smaller. I'm using the code from the xsnippets.openNTF as follows:
<xp:pager partialRefresh="true" id="pager1" for="repeat1"
panelPosition="left" styleClass="bootstrapPager">
<xp:pagerControl type="Previous" id="pagerControl1"
styleClass="bootstrapPagerPrevious">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[«]]></xp:this.value>
</xp:pagerControl>
<xp:pagerControl type="Group" id="pagerControl2"
styleClass="bootstrapPagerMiddle">
</xp:pagerControl>
<xp:pagerControl type="Next" id="pagerControl3"
styleClass="bootstrapPagerNext">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[»]]></xp:this.value>
</xp:pagerControl>
</xp:pager>
as suggested I created a new css and copied the css from the xsnippets into it and applied it to the page however I don't think that should be necessary with bootstrap built in so I removed the css. The pager works the same either way. So I want to over-ride the bootstrapPager class and change the margins.
I created a new css called it myBootstrap.css and added this block
.bootstrapPager {
display: inline-block;
padding-left: 0;
border-radius: 4px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
margin-top: 2px;
line-height: 1.42857;
}
and changed the top and bottom margins to 2px. added the css as a resource but the pager margins do not appear to have changed. Maybe there are some other settings that need changing. As I read it this class should override the main bootstrap.css.
EDIT
If I set disable Theme to true then it appears to remove the margins, but then it also removes all of the additional styling and that is no good either.
Here is what the pager looks like (not connected to the repeat yet but that should not matter. The major issue is the amount of vertical space that it consumes. When I inspect the element in Chrome it looks very much like it is getting the values from the main bootstrap css.
Bill,
Not sure this will work, but please try adding !important to your CSS selector. This has worked for me in the past. In my case it was OneUI, but the concept is the same. This assumes that the style is being applied, but is overwritten.
.bootstrapPager {
display: inline-block;
padding-left: 0;
border-radius: 4px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 2px !important;
margin-top: 2px !important;
line-height: 1.42857;
}
For more info, I wrote a blog post on this subject last year when I was having a similar problem: http://notesspeak.blogspot.com/2014/10/quick-tip-forcing-css-override.html
Note: I have never had much luck ever trying to us the "disable theme" feature.
My first post here and unfortunately it won't be that exciting and I need an answer that includes IE6.
To get space between paragraphs, I'm styling my <p> tags like this:
div.content_cms p {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
padding: 0px 15px 0px 0px;
}
The margin bottom to space the paragraphs. This of course works fine. But then I also need to style a link with html is this:
<p>Text </p>
When there is a link as in the example above, I don't want the margin-bottom to be applied. I tried to fix it with this:
div.content_cms p a {
margin-bottom: 0px !important;
}
Which of course doesn't work.
I'm adding a class to the <a> tags with jQuery so I can automatically add an icon to links. I tried adding
margin-bottom: 0px !important;
to the class I'm adding with jQuery but that didn't work either.
What's the best way to style spacing between <p>paragraphs</p> with text but not paragraphs with links?
Thank you.
You can easily do this with jQuery:
$('p').has('a').css('margin-bottom', 0);
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/NyjvT/
If you need to set multiple styles, then consider this:
$('p').has('a').addClass('whatever');
CSS:
p.whatever { margin-botttom:0; font-size:20px; ... }
I don't think you can.
Your best bet is to add a class to those particular <p> elements, and override the margin on those:
div.content_cms p.nomargin {
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
<p class="nomargin">Text</p>
If this is not possible on the server side, you could do some jQuery hackery to take care of it.
Maybe there's some CSS3 magic that could be used, but I'm not sure of that; and since you want IE6 support, it's out of the question anyway.
This is not possible using only CSS.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) works only down the document tree.
The reason for this is performance.

You need to use javascript for that to work.
