Body class CSS inaccessible by child theme. Why?

BB Theme
1

Here’s a dumb question:

Why can’t I access the css .body class in the child theme for bb?

I’m trying to get better a line height. so I tried

.body {

	line-height: 1.62857143;

}

Notta. Then I tried

.body {

	line-height: 1.62857143 !important;

}

Still notta.

Then I tried

.body {
    background-color: black;
}

Nothing’s changing. The weird thing is, when I try to access any other class in my code, I can change it. Just not body, or paragraph classes.

Why? I thought the child theme was given priority?

Duh… had to remove the . and just body. Solved!

Hey M33,

Yes, that is correct. Dots are only placed before a class and body is a tag with different classes. Same goes for the paragraph tag§. :slight_smile: Have fun with The Beaver! :slight_smile:
