 * Hi.
    I tried adding my own style and keep getting the following error when trying
   to save. “error : – Invalid characters, please enter another!”
 * The code I am trying to add is:
    { border: 5px solid #111E6C; border-radius: 
   5px; padding: 5px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 auto; display:
   inline-block; }
 * I am not sure what the problem is.

 * Found out that it was telling me that the name of the style can’t contain spaces.
   
   eg. “blue-border” instead of “blue border”

 * Hi [@janschattling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janschattling/),
    that’s
   correct. No empty spaces are allowed in custom classes.
 * I’m glad you figured out.
    ___ Regards
