[SOLVED] Overriding post padding on one page

jodybethw · #1 Feb 24, 2012, 04:20 PM

I'd like to use 10px padding on all post containers except for the one on the front page in which there is a slider. I added

Code:

padding: 10px;

to Style Posts & Pages > POST Container (when it is taken out, the home page is aligned properly.) To override this on the home page, I put

Code:

body.page-id-724 td#middle {padding: -10px !important;}

in the Add HTML/CSS Inserts section. It isn't working and I have been staring too long. Can anyone see what I can't? Thank you!

try this instead

HTML Code:

body.home td#middle {padding: -10px !important;}

Nope, it didn't help...any other ideas?

just did a bit of google searching - padding can not be a negative number, so add the padding to all other pages as 10 and the home page as 0.

Just tried

Code:

body.home td#middle {
padding: 0px !important;
}

and also

Code:

body.page-id-724 td#middle {
padding: 0px !important;
}

...neither work. So frustrated.

did you add padding to the rest? looks like you have it set to zero.

Yes, i did. I keep changing it because I'm working on other things -- sorry! I'll put it back in "error" mode so you can take a better look. I've also just colored the post container blue so you can see it on the page.

try this

HTML Code:

body.page-id-724 div.post {
padding:0px !important
}
