I'm struggling with a property that is defined in 3 stylesheets:
Joomla.css
My Site's Template.css
Content extension using K2.css
The problem is that I need to align a toolbar to the right. The property text-align is correctly defined in the K2.css but is ignored and rather the one in the joomla.css is loaded.
I attached a screen shot that shows the issue.
Any idea what am i doing wrong and how could I override this property just for one container?
Thanks in advance.

For such special cases I used to define an style with !important and use it where ever I have to override.
CSS
.text-align_right {
text-align: right !important;
}
HTML
<div class="itemToolbar text-align_right">
..
Also, if you view the source of the page, you'll see the order in which the style sheets get added. Evidently joomla.css is further down the source than k2.css
If there are a large number of these cases, you might like to edit your template html and put joomla.css right at the start of the head section. If that is added dynamically, though, look at the nonumber extension 'Rereplacer' which should be able to switch the order around with a bit of work.
Add your css rule to the bottom of K2.css
When you create the menu in your module manager, assign it a class. Then you can set the style for that class in your template.css file.
Best,

I am using a plugin on a wordpress site which operates in light/dark mode where I can set the colours manually. However the headers are automatically inheriting the theme colours.
I have tried inspecting the code on the grid to try and isolate the class and create a custom CSS code to remove the inherit property.
The code that the issue exists in is
.tg-barking-mouse a:not([class*="tg-element-"]),
.tg-barking-mouse a:not([class*="tg-element-"]):active,
.tg-barking-mouse a:not([class*="tg-element-"]):focus,
.tg-barking-mouse [class*="tg-element-"] *:not(del) {}
Within this bracket, the margin, padding, color etc exist. When I remove color it does exactly what I would like it to.
However when I paste the same code listed above in CSS and write color:none within the bracket, it doesn't seem to add to the element and overwrite the current color settings.
I believe there is a simple solution which will allow me to isolate the correct element but I'm not too sure what I'm missing.
Is it only the header that has the issue?If it is then you can use css to set your preferable color choice. try include important property like color: #000 !important; or any color of your choice to see if it can do the trick.
Thanks everyone for your help, I was able to work it out by targetting h2 within the class and resolved the issue with the inherit property:
h2.tg-item-title {
color: inherit !important;
}
And it has inherited the plugin's text style rather than the Wordpress theme.
I've made a website using the academic theme of hugo; there's an example provided here. I want all of my posts (of which there are three examples provided at the link) to be wider. For example, a post initially looks like this:
where the text is constrained within a more narrow window, but I want it to look like this:
where the text has the same width as the page.
I notice that I can make this happen by unchecking the 'max-width' specification in '.article-container'. How can I edit my local files for my personal page with the academic theme to make it so this automatically happens?
This may be done by overriding the CSS in the .article-container selector.
.article-container {
max-width: none;
}
The simpler way is to create a file layouts/partials/custom_head.html where you place the above CSS rule inside a <style>...</style> block.
Another way is to create a file assets/css/custom.css with that rule, and then updating the property plugins_css in the file config/_default/params.toml so that the new stylesheet can be included as part of the loaded stylesheets.
plugins_css = ["custom"]
On the homepage of my developing ecommerce store just below the carousel, there is an image under the H1 "I Wish I Were Knitting..." that has a paragraph sort of wrapped to it.
I have applied a float class to the img tag which is located within the p tag. I have one line of text floating correctly by removing the bootstrap img-responsive class from the img tag.
Why won't the full paragraph wrap? I would put markup and CSS in this text here but because this code in question is part of a huge .asp system, I wonder if folks would please check out the markup and CSS with the Inspect Element on the page itself where you can see the other code and CSS around it.
I see you added class="floatleft" but you need to add the css float: left;. Tested using Chrome Dev Tools and it works :).
You can always add the class to your css using the following :
.floatleft {
float: left;
}
Then you will only need to change the CSS and not your HTML. Good luck!
I found my main error. It's an understandable error given the state of my development. Turns out I was editing the wrong css file. When I put my css in the correct file, everything worked. I'll examine your kind ideas and observations with appreciation. Yes, padding will help.
Is there a way or operator in CSS to assign a new style to specific element? I don't want to change original style because it belongs to a plugin and changing it will change it on all my pages. However I want to change the position of the element on a specific web page.
I also can't call those styles in my html because that CSS file is used solely in jquery plugin, you only put class="slideshow" in html div and thats that. I can change that CSS file to suit my preferences, however I don't know how to change it for specific instances?
In order to make a specific styling on a specific instance of your plugin, you should assign a specific class or id to a parent container of that plugin for the instance you need customization.
Example : you can give the id="special" to a parent of the plugin in the page you want customization.
Then you can use that selector to style it independently from other instances of that same plugin.
example CSS:
#special .slideshow /*other selectors */ {
/*your specific style */
}
In your scenario CSS specificity Rule will be helpful for you.
For example in your plugin you are using RED Font Color in class slideshow. Then in your another CSS file you can create a more specific Rule.
Check the Demo what I've posted above on comments section. Here is the direct link.
div.slider .slideshow {color:green;}
You can refer to the element by name:
#htmlitemname{
color: green;
}
CSS is cascading, i.e. it will apply it top down - general, class and then the id.
You can add !important to your css if you wish it to override any inline styles. So long as you make a style sheet specifically for that page, this should work for what you need. Hope this helps :)
How do I override the css of a fancybox?
I'm building a website that uses fancybox on two different pages, and I want to override the fancybox css on one of these pages so the arrows are pushed outside of the box.
IE I would like to impart these properties on the fancybox:
.fancybox-prev {
left: -80px !important;
}
.fancybox-next {
right: -80px;
}
I can't figure out how to accomplish this and solutions to other relevant stackoverflow problems don't work. I'm sure there's a simple way to do it.
Can anybody help me out?
$('.fancybox-prev').attr('style', 'left: -80px !important');
$('.fancybox-next').attr('style', 'right: -80px');
You have to remember about hirarchy of the CSS. Inline CSS are the most important ones, external CSS will be read second.
When it comes to the latter, they are read from the top of your CSS file. So writing the style, which you want to use to override a previous one, below, should do the work just fine.
Secondly, you can always use jQuery to do that. ShaggyInjun gave a good example. You should be able to do that by using $(selector).css();.
if using fancybox v1.3.4 check:
http://fancybox.net/faq No.8 .... it also might be useful to check this.
if using fancybox v2.x check :
https://stackoverflow.com/a/8672001/1055987
Basically, you have to set a CSS inline declaration AFTER you have loaded the fancybox css file in order to override those properties.
