Code for a box in a post

[Milada]

Hi all,

I found this code <div class="content-box-purple">text</div>

to use for a box in a post.

I copied this code:

/* Content Box
------------------------------------------------------------ */

.content-box-purple {
margin: 0 0 25px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
}

.content-box-purple {
background-color: #e2e2f9;
border: 1px solid #bebde9;
}

to a style.css file.

However, the box does not show in the post. I checked all plugins for compatibility and when deactivating them all, the box still does not show.

Do you have an idea of what might be wrong?

Thank you,

Milada

I see no obvious errors in that code. It could be that the stylesheet was not included properly.

Not quite sure what 'box in post' really refers to, or even what plugins relate to either? plugins for what?

Hello Ingolme,

thank you for understanding the issue. What do you mean by stylesheet was not included properly?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

That means that there is no link to the stylesheet or the path to the stylesheet is incorrect. What code did you write to use the stylesheet?

I see, thank you Ingolme.

So probably there is no link to the stylesheet.

I used this code:

"

/* Content Box
------------------------------------------------------------ */

.content-box-purple {
margin: 0 0 25px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
}

.content-box-purple {
background-color: #e2e2f9;
border: 1px solid #bebde9;
}

"

which I simply copied to a style.css file.

There is something wrong with this, is there?

IF! your website caches css, it needs to be cleared and refreshed, you may have deactivated this cache plugin, but did it still use original cached version still?

What do you mean?

What is to be done?

How can I solve the code issue?

[Ingolme]

There has to be a <link> tag in your document and that tag needs to have the correct URL for your stylesheet.

W3Schools is the right place for that, but you should start your own topics instead of replying to an old and unrelated one.
