I have absolutely no clue as to what you're trying to say or ask here.

think of css as nothing more than a simplified way of styling/presenting your website.

Ok let me try this again

Where is the css page located at in the script I want to make a few changes to it

.css is a separate file that resides in the root of your directory.

it's reference 'from' the files, but it is its 'own' file.


goto your hosting to where ever you installed your script.
now look for a file with the .css extension.


i dont know what template you have installed or else i could tell you specifically.

I hope this is a valid answer to your question. I could be mistaken. If so, sorry!

At first, take it one step at a time until you get a feel for the code and the CSS usage. It's a bit complex, but gets easier as it sinks in.

The only real modifications you'll want to make are in the web root's "template" sub-directory. those will ref the "main.css" that is located in your root directory.

What I did, was basically make my own custom CSS tags as additions to the existing main.css file, and then went through the templates changing things one at a time, and fixing the little quirks I created.

The wise move would be make backups of all files you play with, in case of an irreversible error. That has saved my bacon a couple of times.

If at first the pages don't seem to change, do a forced refresh of the page (control key + refresh in windows) and reload the page from scratch. If that doesn't work, there are cached templates in the temp/templates directory... if you delete those, you'll force it into a fresh load...

If you do too much at once, you'll quickly find out what a pain that can be... One step at a time until you're comfortable is the key...

Good luck, have fun!

That was it I just did not see the main.css I was looking in the templates folder


The way i do it is download the page i want to work on then change the name to whatever_old and then make th echanges to the downloaded one and then upload it and see what happens . SO if I mess up I just delete the messed up one and remove the _old and I am back
