Thank god i saved the theme before editing. The code didn’t helped see i added the code after the text “end of the code added by lucas m…” but it didn’t worked. I have shared a preview of the site after adding the code.
Topic summary
Goal: Update Debut theme to use a light green brand color for social media icons and certain footer links/text, and reduce spacing in a footer section.
What was tried: Multiple suggestions to add CSS in Assets > theme.scss, e.g.
- .social-icons .social-icons__link svg { fill: #2dbe5f; }
- .site-footer a { color: #2dbe5f; }
- .site-footer__item-inner .h4 { margin-bottom: 10px; }
Issue encountered: The changes worked in an older Debut copy but not in the latest theme. Screenshots showed the added CSS wasn’t taking effect. A minor syntax mistake was suspected (e.g., missing closing brace, selector typos) and then pinpointed.
Key fix: A missing closing bracket in CSS around featured-row__titles (near lines ~7379–7381) was breaking subsequent rules. Closing it restored CSS parsing, allowing the new color/spacing rules to apply.
Status/outcome: No explicit confirmation from the original poster after the fix, but consensus indicates the bracket closure resolves it. Spacing was addressed via margin adjustment on h4; line-height wasn’t discussed. A new question about changing header icon color was raised later and remains unanswered in this thread.
Notes: Screenshots were central to diagnosing the CSS parsing error.
