Why did my code fail to change the cell background

One more question. I’m trying to add code to change the background color on a cell in an area where the template doesn’t offer a color change option. I used the ai assistant to generate the code I needed, but when I added it to the cell css it didn’t work. I double checked that I have the correct box number, but when I do the “run” generate nothing happens

Started a new topic for this :slight_smile:

Can you share the code it gave you? And where you tried adding it?

#box25 {
background-color: #D1BCBC;
}

I think this article will help - Studio Editor: About CSS Editing | Help Center | Wix.com

TL;DR of things to get it working:

  • It should be added to the global.css file when code is enabled
  • You’ll want to move to a semantic class, combined with a custom class. Something like:
    .my-custom-class .box {
  	background-color: #D1BCBC;
  }
  • And then add your custom class name to the selected element (on the right side of your screenshot, where you have “Properties & Events”, choose the “CSS Classes” and add your custom class. In my example, it would be my-custom-class
