Hi,

Please provide me your site's access so that I can inspect that CSS directly and provide you a css code to fix.

Hi,

Thanks for the access. You can add this code in your template css:


div#es-wrap .es-stream{
background-color: #333;
border: 1px solid #333;
}


You can change the color to your liking as well.

Hi,

The stylesheet is loaded but it is overridden. http://cl.ly/image/1r0L21403o0K

Try placing it at the end of the file instead of the start of the file.

Hi,

1. I no longer am able to login to your site's FTP.

2. Perhaps you should try the Dark theme by setting it in EasySocial -> Themes and EasySocial -> Profiles -> Layout

Hi,

I am getting this error when I try to connect to your FTP. Hence I am unable to apply the css fix for you. Please advise.

Have you got the password correct ? There should be no reason for not connecting it works fine .. I use Filezilla though that should make no difference .. Please try again if it is still trouble will create another account for you

Hi,

I directly copy and paste using the password that you've provided actually. I tested with both passive mode and active mode as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the access. I am able to login now.

I've added a few css codes in the module. Can you see if it is ok now? Are there any other areas that you would like to apply?

(Take note though, on the next EasySocial upgrade, you will have to backup the style.css file in the module before performing upgrade in case you want to reapply the codes again)

Looks much better now ... Couple more small things .. The text on the stream and dashboard is black a little hard to see can that part be light grey Image below shows this ..

Also in the Menu the links are very hard to read could they be white or light grey as well .. Image below shows this as well ..

Now a question on the photo's are they supposed to show in the Stream on the index/home page ?

Cheers
Mick

Hi,

What you can do here is to manually inspect the element that you want to apply the css to and add it to the style1.css (instead of style.css for IE compatibility purposes).

http://cl.ly/image/0w3S3X3G200T

For example in the screenshot, the class that you'd like to change is es-comment, then in your css file just define:

div.mod-es-stream .es-comment{
// rules here (try with !important if it does not apply properly)
}


This code is for the module. For the dashboard, you can apply similar codes for the dashboard:

#es-wrap .es-comment{
// rules here (try with !important if it does not apply properly)
}


The difference is only the front part of the selector.
