 * Hello,
 * I am a newb here and maybe the answer is somewhere on these forums. I couldn’t
   find any when I searched so maybe someone can help me.
 * I am trying to put custom css and divs onto the post area on a page I have made
   using a child theme of Weaver II
 * I have the css and the divs working in dreamweaver as I have coded them but when
   I put the css code into the editor section, and the html into the page area, 
   i get nothing. I’ve tried many different ways including css and html in the html
   area…
 * not even sure what I’m doing wrong but it’s not showing up at all
 * Help! please!

 * For CSS-specific support, consider [CSS-specific forums](http://csscreator.com/forum).
   It just sounds like you’re using the wrong selectors.

 * As for inserting html directly into posts – that isn’t always reliable. First
   up are you entering the html from the html view, and not the visual editor? That’s
   important. Also, if you swicth from html editor to visual editor, your html will
   get messed up – you can’t switch between editors. And finally, some html plain
   doesn’t work entered that way.

 * um not to sound like a complete idiot but Andrew what do you mean by ‘selectors’?
 * and yes Rev Voodoo I am in the html view… sad face on this..
 * as i said i have it working fine as a dreamweaver document with the css and divs
   displaying as I would like..

 * it might be easier to discuss this, if you post the actual code and a link to
   your page/post to illustrate what the result is.

 * The code itself works fine for me on a simple html file. So the problem has to
   have something to do with what happens when you put it in your WP site. Do you
   see the HTML but not the CSS effects? Where are you putting the CSS code? Have
   you validated for errors on the HTML and CSS?

 * I’ve tried putting my CSS code in the ‘editor’ section of the theme, the individual
   page in the html area.Even when I put it into the Weaver II advanced options 
   area for inserting CSS. still nothing…. Am I putting it into the wrong area?
 * I don’t know if I can Validate my site as it’s on my localhost.. but I’ve only
   done minor things to it so far.. this is my initial foray into setting it up 
   so I can add some content…

 * From what you’ve said, it sounds like you are doing it as it should be done. 
   But as I said earlier, I’d really suggest you ask on the Weaver forums — as they’ll
   have a better understanding of anything specific to the theme.
 * EDIT — One possible thing is that the CSS code you put in the editor should not
   have the style or comment tags — but only the actual CSS code. Is that what you
   did?

 * I tried both.. and I’m going crazy.. I will check with the weaver forums. Hopefully
   they can tell me what I’m doing wrong or what I can do within their theme to 
   make it all work..
 * thanks for your help!

 * Yeah, sorry I can’t look at the live site — then it would be so much easier to
   help… Good luck with it.
