Hi,

I'm wanting to edit the template to fully merge in with my website, my usual methods aren't working. The .css files in '/media' folder don't seem to update.

The font for EasyDiscuss doesn't inherit from my native template font, and some basic colours I'd also like to change too.

I had a response via the contact form which suggested this:

To custom the styles of EasyDiscuss, you can insert a custom.css into templates stylesheets,

e.g.:
/templates/[YOURTEMPLATES]/html/com_easydiscuss/css/custom.css
body #ed {
background-color: red;
}


I have tried this but it doesn't seem to work. Please help me out.

I basically want to change the background colours on the dark template:

#222222 to #111720
#333333 to #191e25

and the font to 'Electrolize'
Hey Paul,

Not entirely sure which particular section that you want to change the color to, could you please include a screen shot of the area? Also, it looks like you are running a compression plugin, so I have no idea if your template is allowing the css file to be rendered
.

Can you please provide us with the back end and FTP access to the site?

Hi,

Thanks for your comment.. it was indeed the jch optimize plugin, I cleared the cache now.

So I assume that all I have to do now it copy the appropriate div tag and updated code into this .css file?

Is there a command to change all of the fonts?

Yep, that's correct Paul. Ideally, you should inspect the element that you want to update and copy the css selector and be a little more specific on the selector. For instance to change the font family,

[gist]
body #ed {
font-family: 'Electrolize';
}
[/gist]
