    • I think you should ask that in the WordPress forum.

    • Hi Andy, does that mean that the customcss functionality is now built-in to all gantry-based templates and all we need to do (if we have previously created the customcss as per Arifin's instructions) is to rename that file [template]-custom.css?

      Another question I have that is related is that by using Arifin's instructions with a slight modification (loading an array of CSS files), I can actually control the loading order of the CSS files, and ensure that my custom CSS is the last to load and therefore has the highest priority in the cascade of external stylesheets. Does this built-in functionality of Gantry address issues where the template's default template.css file sometimes overruled the custom styles I had added to my customcss file unless I used the !important attribute?

      I also modified Arifin's suggested solution to include an array for loading .js files in a specific order. Does Gantry 4.0.x have a built-in functionality for that? Am I using the best solution to add new .js files to the template that will be upgrade/update protected?

      I am using the Voxel template, and also Gantry plain vanilla.
    • Thank you.

    • Is there a solution like this for the gantry4? I very much want a full page background and gantry 4 does not seem to care that I followed this tutorial. Maybe I'm missing something?

      Sorry for the stupid question, I found the answer: www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/j...-a-custom-stylesheet

      For Gantry 4, there is a documentation for this

    • I followed this tutorial www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/j...-a-custom-stylesheet and it wouldn't show that my custom.css file was loading in firebug ( rt_fracture-custom.css )
      After I cleared my gantry caches in joomla then they loaded and worked as advised.
      Seems no-one else has had this problem so I'm wondering why mine wouldn't show until clearing those caches.

    • Hi!
      Please answer this:
      Does adding a custom css file override other properties ?

      I tried changing the text color of the top menu to red but it's not overriding..

      I see in firebug that the property is loaded but it's not override the older one.

      How can I resolve this?

    • as Arfin explained you need to add some css specificity to your rules.

    • Thank you for your reply.

      Can you please explain how to override the default css without hacking the core gantry css or using the !important property or using a more specificity css because this may not be possible every time.

      I used the same css specificity as it is in the core gantry fusionmenu css file.

      I thought that the [template_name]-custom.css file should override the default css every time...

      Thank you.
