I have a site that doesn't use css. How can I make it use css?

[Pink24]

It's not a big site. Less than 10 pages I guess.

I want to add a css to it so I can easily change stuff.
How would I do that?

Realistically you'd have to remake it from scratch for it to be done properly and effectively.

change from html to php and css is the main page that holds all the back end information...

so you would have fonts, colours, pages, links, all on .css and then for example, tour1.php would be linked to your .css

and as said above, create from the start or you´ll be confusing yourself changing scripts and pages...

If I just created a simple css for a links, font, H1 etc and linked the css to the .php at the top of each page would it apply the changes?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

no, you can´t just change the pages from .html to .php, i´m saying, you have to rewrite all the pages from html to php to make css work...

wondering, why don´t you go html5? my last sites were designed with Bootstrap 5 yr ago, now i´m with MC...


why not get hold of a tech guy and ask him if he can do some day work for you?

CSS is the styling, doesn't matter if PHP is used or not.
If it's an old site that doesn't use CSS, you'll have to change the old styling to CSS manually. Then more involved if you want to do things like make it responsive, etc.

Absolute lie.

Stick to ruining the boob thread with your leathery milk sacks.

when our programmer designed my sites, he changed all the pages to .php & said they would all link with the css, i´ve got all the php pages and css pages still...

there´s about 4 or 5 css pages...

maybe he was an idiot, we got rid of him and went with ModelCentro about 2 years later

It should, as long as the external css file is linked correctly in the head, or if you put something like <style>css:stuff;</style> in the head without needing a separate CSS file. Up to you.

So, he converted a html template to a WP theme? That's not required for CSS to work and is just confusing things in this thread.

he couldn´t just write a css with all the fonts and info, the main pages would need to be rewritten as they would conflict with each other, if there was say fonts and mentions on the main php, html or what ever pages..

it would all need rewriting, and apologies for the mistake with the php needing changing pink24. wasn´t lying obviously, just saying what i´d been told for my previous sites

You would still have to modify the pages to use the .css

A css file merely holds the styling elements that you want to use on the pages.

For example. Say you want your H1 tags to be double the size of your normal font, bolded and underlined.

In your style sheet (css file) you would put something like:

H1
{
font-size:2em;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:underline;
}

Then whenever you use an H1 in the page it would appear as 2 times the size of the currrnt font (2em). Bolded (font-weight:bold) and underlined (text-decoration:underline)

You could accomplish this using html by coding your H1 as:

<h1><font-size="2em"><b><u>Text goes Here</u></b></font-size></h1>

You could also use inline styling:

<h1 style="font-size:2em;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Text Goes Here</h1>

Or using the style sheet, reference the style sheet in the head section:

<head>
<base href="https://gfy.com/" /><!--[if IE]></base><![endif]-->
<base href="https://gfy.com/" /><!--[if IE]></base><![endif]-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>

or referencing the style elements themselves in the head section:

<head>
<style>
H1
{
font-size:2em;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:underline;
}
</style>
</head>

And then in your page using the h1 tag:

<h1>Text Goes Here</h1>

Obviously, the third method is the most efficient.

He did not change to .php to make it use css (style sheets). Changing to .php allows the pages to be dynamic. The .css just brings them up to date just as switching to html5 would.

Yeah, I was just assuming that it was WP lol, Sarettah's answer is better.

ahh haha, it´s always good to converse, we all learn everyday, but most of all, it´s great to communicate with others

div aligns, the great thing with them, you can have as many in each area as you want, just breaking the page up, maybe the image, giving faster page load

Has anyone heard of the Dunning Kruger effect? It's fascinating. The theory was devised around a guy who robbed banks with lemon juice on his face because he thought it would make him invisible (true story).

If you´re digging at me, maybe just being paranoid, however, i´m not overestimating my ability, i´m first, trying to be helpful, that´s just me...

second, no one was bumping this thread until I posted, or it was only after I bumped it with some kind of advice, not incorrect, but slightly off point, however, only then did people join in to help Pink...

and finally, i´m enjoying to participate on a forum, with advice that´s still useful and NOT a load of negative garbage

if paranoia, well isn´t that interesting to read and I feel sorry for those less privileged

[CurrentlySober]

i just like poo...

Pink never needed help imho. He was doing a troll as usual.

I posted to attempt to correct mis-information being posted.

no problem and wasn´t being rude to you, as you hopefully noticed on the voting thread, I think you´re an asset here on GFY...

I was merely pointing out the haters. There´s no need for those to post when they put no interest or help to GFY

I did need help actually. I also like that there are actually helpful people left on this forum. Thanks Nat and Colmike

Oh, and Sara!

I have no idea where the base href code in there came from. It was not in what I put in there.

I don't think it was there when I posted.

So, either the board is adding code or a mod edited my post. Not sure which.

The only thing I had in there was the link to the style sheet.

Filed under things that make you go WTF?

It's funny to watch you be an absolute cunt. You're worse than any of the shit people sling at you.
