Code Example
Here are the codes from this tutorial. Make sure you update important values like the colors to make these codes uniquely yours!
.lesson-item .lesson-details-description a{ background:#fff; color:#333; padding: 10px; border:3px solid #333; font-weight:bold } .lesson-item .lesson-details-description a:hover{ background:#333; color:#fff; }
Want to add your code to an individual video collection? Click on the gear icon for the collection to access your page settings. Under the advanced section, you’ll find the option for page header code injection. Paste this code below so it will include the style brackets you need to add CSS to that page on your site
<style> .lesson-item .lesson-details-description a{ background:#fff; color:#333; padding: 10px; border:3px solid #333; font-weight:bold } .lesson-item .lesson-details-description a:hover{ background:#333; color:#fff; } </style>
