Hello Peter,

Sorry for late reply to this,
May i know do you applied the css code in correct template css file? Have you using some 3rd party component needed to cleanup the cache from your server?

Is it possible to provide us some screenshot which part you would like to modify the CSS and provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you check on this? Please advise.

Hello Peter,

It would be advisable that you provide us with the link to your site so we can understand what template you are currently using for your site

I've added the details.

Here is an example of what I would like to edit:

I tried changing the background color of this alert box within wireframe and added my code (see my post above) to the template.css of protostar.

Hello Peter,

I have tried to access in your site, but i getting this : Warning Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.
Please advise.

Sorry, must be a typo on my end. Added details again.

Hello Peter,

I have inspected the element of your site, If seems like you're applied in correct file, i have help you add the !important in your css,

div.alert.alert-warning {

    background-color: red !important;

}

It work fine now.

Sounds like if it doesn't work, I will have to apply !important to each area.

Thanks for your help!!

Peter trying using http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a-design/templating/21408 and then a custom.css file. It ALWAYS loads last and unless the item your overriding has a !important in it it will take precedence.

Troy

Will give that a try.

Thanks for suggesting an alternative method.

Thanks for sharing Troy

yw... alot of template don't easily support custom.css and this makes it so simple imo

Hi Troy,

Thanks for heads up
Have a nice day
