Basics of CSS to modify a WordPress theme

We wrote tricks to modify the WordPress themes, create pressed text effect, highlight texts and more tricks using CSS.CSS to modify a WordPress theme From the responses, it seemed to us, we need to clarify the basics of CSS first. So, today, just a primer on CSS using which, you will be able to perform most of the modifications in WordPress themes you need.

 

Set the property

CSS is a language that allows you to format the content on a site. It can handle the layout and then aesthetics. For that, use properties and values. For example, this property can make text bold:

font-weight : bold ;

font-weight is bold from the property value.

You can find a list of most of the CSS properties for text in this post.

Assigning a style

To assign a style to a tag, it can be done in two ways. By declaring the name of the tag or by using an id or a class (the id is unique, unlike the class). For example:

< span id = "grass" > TEXT < / span >

To put this in bold text, the id will be:

#grass {font-weight : bold ;}

If we go directly by the tag must be replaced by the # tag name. If  grass was a class, we would have to use the attribute this way: class = “bold” and had to use a period instead of the hash like this:

.grass

 

Inserting CSS

 

There are three ways to insert CSS code. Directly in the tag with the style attribute:

< span style = "font-weight:bold" > Context < / span >

With the style tag and type attribute to be placed between the head tags:

< style type = "text/css" >span{font-weight:bold;}< / style >

The latter method, the most used is to create an external style sheet with the extension <span style="background-color: #e9eef3; font-color: #000000 font-size; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Verdana; text-shadow: #fff 1px 1px;">.css</span>, containing all the properties to be inserted by placing this line of code between the head tags:

&lt; link href = "style.css" rel = "stylesheet" type = "text/css" media = "all" / &gt;

In this case, the style sheet is named <span style="background-color: #e9eef3; font-color: #000000 font-size; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Verdana; text-shadow: #fff 1px 1px;">style.css</span>.

 

To summarize

 

  • CSS allows you to manage the layout of a website.
  • We need to use properties and values.
  • To assign a style, you can use the tag name, an id or class.
  • Most platforms (like WordPress) put the CSS in external style sheet.
