            TeamWeb, Do I make that change in style.css via the site’s root directory?

              Yes. Most if not all genesis child theme have style.css in the root. You will want to edit that one. As always though, MAKE A BACKUP COPY of your css first. This is the best practice for anyone. Another advice if I can give it to you is to have a backup copy of the orignianl files and then have a working copy.

                TeamWeb, Your advice and suggestions are welcome and appreciated. I was using Prose, which directs you to edit css via WP Admin/Genesis/Custom Code. So messing with style.css is new to me, and css generally – Newbie.

                When you say backup of css, do mean just make a copy of style.css and keep it in the same folder? And backup of original files, do you mean download Genesis settings via Genesis >> Import/Export?

                  I do my editing on my computer so I have two folders – one for a backup and the other folder labeled “working theme”, that’s where I do all my edits.

                  Before I do an edit I sometimes make a backup of that file that I’m working on. For example, the style.css is the orignal file. To preserve that file before I work on it I’ll make a copy of it and name it style.css.saveme [or today’s date]. This way if I screw up the style.css file that I’m working on, I have a working copy to fall back to. I use an FTP client to upload my changes and refresh the site to see the changes.

                  You can make a copy in same folder, just make sure its labeled something like I mention above.

                  I’m not familiar with prose or how that works so can’t help you there.

                  Question: When you say “I was using Prose, which directs you to edit css via WP Admin/Genesis/Custom Code” is that the same way as going into your WP dashboard > Appearance > Editor and selecting style.css?

                  By the way, it’s okay to be a newbie. We were all there and at times, I still feel like a newbie. So good on ya that you’re learning and doing. Keep it up.

                  Hope this helps you.

                    Rolly, That helped a lot! Smart method. I’m going to do just that. Thank you for your inspiring encouragement.

                    Yes, with Prose it’s similar to the path you mentioned but instead, Prose has a unique feature called “Custom Code” (WP Dashboard/Genesis/Custom Code). Here you can edit css and php functions, BUT you can only add, you can’t edit. It doesn’t list all the css like style.css does in your root. In fact, if you go into Prose’s style.css file you see this message on top:

                    “WARNING: DO NOT edit this file under any circumstances.
                    Please do all CSS modifications via the Custom Code admin menu.”

                    Questions: You mentioned using a FTP client upload changes. (I use Core.) What exactly are you uploading? Are you just doing a copy/replace of style.css? And what software are you editing in? When I double click the style.css file I downloaded, it opens my MS Expression Web software in nice easy edit format.

                    Thank you for all your help. I’ve got 1,000 good vibes headed your way.

                      Rolly, How did you change your avatar?

                        LOL I just figured it out myself. The forums uses Gravatar and all I had to do is to register there.

                        For FTP I use smartFTP and yes I do replace my css files BUT be warned I’ve always have a backup before overwritting unless I know I dont need to.

                          Thank you, Rolly. I’ll be sure to backup.

                          Last question, I promise. What software do you use to edit style.css?

                            I use Expression Web 4 to edit my css files and a few html files [only because its free] and have used Expression in the past. However, I use phpDesigner to edit my php files although Expression is well capable to do it all.

                            Dreamweaver is excellent as well but my copy is way out dated 馃檪

                              Thanks, Rolly. Look like were on the same page with Expression Web. Glad to get some use out of it.

                              I greatly appreciate all your help. Best to you.
