Hi,

Is it possible to override css without having access to custom.css file.

Hi Hugo,

Are we looking at inline styling?
e.g. css inside the html code

Cheers

Hi Paul,

I don't know if this inline styling. It's not in an article, more articlemodules are involbed.
As explained the bannerwrap has a margin-top 40px
I want to change that to 0 px

Hi

There isn't an option to change via theme magic so it would require a custom css change

Is there a particular problem with using the custom.css file?

Paul,
This is a subdomain, where i don't have access to the server.
So I cannot edit the custom.css file easely.
Have to setup a copy system for testing. Lot of work.
But thanks for answer.

Hi Hugo

If you cannot access the server directly you may be able to gain access to the custom.css file via a Joomla extension
extplorer.net/

Whilst I do not use this on our client sites, I have seen it used on sites we have taken over and it gets okay feedback on the JED. May help you out on this one, if inline css does not work out for you. Usual caveat of backup before uploading anything new to your site etc....
