php body_class property mix up

    Hi,
    I am trying to use <body <?php body_class();?>> to apply different CSS rules to every template. The problem is, the properties I have specified in the CSS get mixed up. i.e. The H1 font color for body.home get applied to body.category-blog H1, although I have specified both of them separately in the CSS.

    Is there a parent-child relationship between the body classes? I have not explicitly specified it so in the CSS, but does WordPress create any such relationships?

    Thanks,
    -Tejas

    Its better to use Firebug to find out. It shown parent child inheritance and the CSS applied to each element hierarchically.

    No. However, any given page on your site will have multiple body classes applied to it.

    Ajit, yes I use Firebug. That how I actually found that the class were not exclusively used for their own pages.
    Esmi – is there a work-around to this?

    How specific do you need this CSS to be? It could be just down to the order in the stylesheet – although I’m having trouble figuring out how the classes “home” and “category-blog” can appear on the one page.

    Any chance of a url?

    It’s on localhost currently, but I will try to push it on the server and see what we can do. Thanks!
