Body Class in Wordpress?

[FuxiAdmin]

Hi

Is anybody here familiar with body class in wordpress?

I have different category options on the home page of I site that I am setting up, please view: www.sugartreelondon.com

I would like to make the colour background on each of the 'more stories' bit, different for each category but cannot seem to find a way to target that element.

The line of code used for the background is;

.more_stories{background:#8f8e3e;margin:0 10px 0 10px;padding:0 0 0 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d7d7d7;font-size:0.9em;font-weight:bold;}

I thought that to target and change this I would need the code;

body.more_stories cat-item cat-item-3 {background:#fff;}

But this is not working. Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance.

Hello FuxiAdmin,
I'm not sure why the body tag is involved here.

A better approach might be specifically targeting each ul like this -

#col1 .more_stories {background: #f00;}
#col2 .more_stories {background: #00f;}

The body class is used in wordpress to change the style of particular elements throughout a site. I am getting the more_stories from the style css and am getting that categories name cat-widget 3 etc, from the source.

Cascading, targeting and precedence.

And precedence is always a good study.
