Annoying wp css issue - GoFuckYourself.com

JesseQuinn · 04-17-2017, 05:40 AM

Hoping a wordpress maven here can lend a hand, I am having a really annoying custom css issue that is fucking up my ability to publish pages

basically I'm trying to add custom css to the customizer to change the color of one page. I've done this with a ton of pages in the past with zero issues. all those earlier pages are still changed, it's when adding new ones that I run into a brick wall

the code is:

page-id-35746 .site{
background-color: #000000;
}

I've also tried:

page-id-35746 .site{
background-color: #000000 !important;
}

and still nada

theme is X Theme (Renew). I've tried disabling every fucking plugin, trying on 3 different browsers.

it used to work perfectly, then started working only sporadically (occasionally on the 10th try or so the changes would save). as of yesterday morning it's not saving no matter what I do and I'm wasting a ton of time in the process.

happy to pay for your time if you can help me solve this, check, direct deposit or payoneer

If you're down you can reach me at [email protected] or shoot me a PM with your contact details and I'll follow up

gracias for reading, hope everyone is having a wicked day =)

Someone has become an expert coder.
There might be some vanilla freelance market places if the code task is relatively simple and short.
Feel free to PM, so I may advise some quick hit and run places to look in.

I am not a wordpress geek, but what's page-id-XXX?
If it is a class it is just missing a dot, but I guess you are aware of that? Just send the link - without is is very very difficult. ;)

LizardKing is right on the money

Code:

page-id-35746 .site{
background-color: #000000 !important;
}

should be

Code:

.page-id-35746 .site{
background-color: #000000 !important;
}

thanks to each of you, really appreciate you taking the time to post with your suggestions

in terms of the code, apologies for my error in copy/paste. the '.' is there in the code and always has been, I just neglected it when posting about the issue

I solved the issue, I think. it's working now and have completed 3 new pages thus far without issue. honestly not sure what I did as I was fucking around trying different things on 2 browsers while half asleep at the end of a long day. I think what worked was installing a cache plugin, then clearing the cache and then deactivating the plugin. I don't use cache plugins so have no idea why that should work, but assuming that's what solved it, it did.

thanks again y'all, very much appreciate your time
