I am trying to change the color on a page. The page is div post-11, so says Firebug.

When I put this into CSS inserts, why doesn't it work? I am still having a hard time knowing how to format CSS in the CSS inserts correctly. Everything I put there is usually ignored. Yes, i save the additions I put in there.

div#post-11 .post-11 page type-page hentry post odd
{background-color:#b0c4de;}

ATA 3.7.3 - Wordpress 3.0.3

Thank you

That CSS is not correct. Reading Firebug and knowing which selectors to use does take a little getting used to. The way I suspect the code should be is as follows.

div#post-11 {background-color:#b0c4de;}

That doesn't work either, I tried that from the start. I appreciate your input, though. Any other ideas what might be causing this code to be ignored? I am running the site on a local development server - WAMP - but that should not matter, should it?

try an !important

div#post-11 {background-color:#b0c4de !important;}

Using !Important did not affect the statement at all. I disabled the Ultimate TinyMCE plugin, but that didnt help. I copied the entire CSS path in firebug and put that in CSS Inserts, but no luck. I dont know why I have such a difficult time making CSS inserts work.

I exported my settings if you have time to take a look and see why my simple css statement to change to background color on a page will not work.

Thanks...

You capitalized !important. The i needs to be lower case.
