[Resolved] Making changes to Category entry without making changes to the entire Article?

[Chris]

So I’m in a bit of a bind here. I’m trying to figure out how to change (say, for example) the background color of the entire ‘inside-article’ div to the Category post, without it changing the background color for the entire post when you click into it.

I’m trying to create a custom layout for my categories, but I can’t find out how to do that without altering the entire post.

Here’s links to the pages in question, in case you’re curious. I’ve colored them both red for the sake of understanding, but the idea is to only have the CATEGORY background be red, not both.

Hi there,

So you want the category background to be a different color than the single posts?

If so we need to use CSS:

.category .inside-article {
    background-color: red !important;
}

Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/

Yeah exactly! So with the .category selector I can make changes to only category pages- that’s exactly what I was looking for 😀

No problem!
