I'm new to WEC and love the New Beginnings, 2 column blue template, however, I would like to be able to change the color and font of our church name (I guess the logo?). Anyway, I can't find where/how to do this. Thanks, Beth

Beth,
If you have not already got it installed, use ExtensionManager to fetch and install quixplorer from the repository.

Using Tools->Quixplorer, go to the directory

Select the file styles.css and click on the edit (pencil) icon over at the right hand side of your screen. It should be under a column headed Actions.

When the file opens, scroll down to /*************sitename********************/

Edit that section of the file.

For instance, to change the font size of the Church name, go to

To change the colour of the Church name to a garish red, go to . I would suggest putting a couple of // marks in front of the line color:#FFC026; so that it becomes //color:#FFC026; Then create a new line above it color:red; You can then experiment with other color names or numeric color codes.

Once you are confident that you are not going to return to using the default colour, you can delete //color:#FFC026; if you wish.

That should be it.

(You may need to press Admin Functions ->Clear FE cache if the changes do not show up straight away.)

Sounds easy enough but when I try changing either and save, I get error:

Error!
styles.css: File saving failed.

Thanks, Beth

Beth,
I think this is partially due to the hosting configuration, so I'm checking with the Vine on this. I'll post back here when I have some info.

Thanks,
Jeff

Beth and Others,

Yea, it is a bit different with Vine Hosting. With Vine, ALL WEC templates are immediately available without the need to upload them. However in order to keep them up to date and available to everyone, they are read-only. So, before you can modify the CSS, you will need to move the files in the template directory you are using to a new directory you can write to. Then you need to modify the template object to find the files in a different directory. If you don't mind, send me a backend user account username and password in an e-mail and I will move them for you. You can try it yoursel if you prefer. We might be able to give you instructions, but I am afraid I'd miss a step at this point.

In Him,
Mark
