Customizing Theme on new OSSN Installation

Python Seedorf Posted in Beginning Developers 8 years ago

Good day,

I am new to OSSN and I am exploring the platform. I have a couple of questions but I will start with three:

  1. How do you add a class to page element (e.g. add a class to the home login button). By adding a class I can override the default style

  2. How do you create a custom .css file and how do you add it to your intended page.

  3. How do you locate a page and add/remove some elements? (e.g. add or remove elements on the sign up form).

Thanks in advance.
