Where did the "Edit CSS" button go?

I wish to add a custom CSS snippet to my blog but I can’t find the “Edit CSS” button.

According to this post:

The button should be here:

To edit your site’s CSS, go to choose Design from the main menu on the web and click the “Edit CSS” button. When you type or paste in a snippet of new CSS and click “Update CSS”, your microblog will be republished with the custom CSS.

But I don’t see it.

Has the button been moved? Eliminated? Or am I just missing it?

Can you see “Open theme” where the button used to be? With that you should get access to the new theme editor.

I do see that button but the resulting page is far beyond my skill level. Thank you for your response, however.

We moved the button recently. Now when you click “Open theme”, there should be an “Edit CSS” link at the very top of the list. You can ignore all the other templates.

I don’t have an “Open Theme” button on the Design page for my main blog (mitchw.blog — the only one I am currently using).

I do see it on my test blog, however.

Solved! I saw I had no custom theme set so I created one, set that as the theme on my blog, followed the other directions on this forum, and then the custom CSS button appeared as it should.

Awesome! Glad it’s working :slight_smile:

@manton, isn’t this supposed to happen automatically?

Yes, it should automatically create a theme for your blog if one wasn’t set. I’ll look into this, must be a bug somewhere.

I am confused. I’m trying to edit the CSS for my site, and I don’t see an “Open Theme” button anywhere. Where do I find this?

When I encountered this problem, I saw I had no custom theme set so I created one, set that as the theme on my blog, followed the other directions in this thread, and then the custom CSS button appeared as it should. Good luck!

Sorry, not sure why that happened. The new behavior is that it automatically creates a placeholder theme for you so you don’t have to go through that step. If there’s no Open Theme button, you’ll need to click Edit Themes, create one, and then assign it to the blog on the Design page.

Let me know if that doesn’t work!
