Customize Section Formatting?

  • In the Twenty Seventeen theme, can I customize how the various sections are displayed from the home page? Not sure if this is the right forum or not. Thanks for any help.

    Each panel area on the home page (if you’re using the sectional home page option) has an id, #panel1, #panel2, etc. So you can use CSS that targets that selector

    For example, to make the 2nd panel have a light blue background, 

    article#panel2 {
    background: lightblue;
}

    To add CSS: use the “Additional CSS” option in the customizer. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/CSS#Custom_CSS_in_WordPress

    Learn to use the Chrome Developer Tools to help you see and test changes to your CSS.

    Steve, thanks. Being rather new at this, how would I know what ids exist that I can customize through CSS if you hadn’t told me? Is it all documented somewhere?

    Look at the page sourced. It may be documented, but I always start by looking at the page’s source and using the browser’s inspector.
