Most Common CSS Codes to Customize Thrive Rise Theme

Most Common CSS Codes to Customize Thrive Rise Theme

I've been using Thrive Themes and plugins since its early release in 2013. I've done a lot of websites using this tool and I watched it grow and change in all aspects. I've been helping a lot of people in customizing Thrive and members of the Thrive Community Facebook group requested to have a list of the most common CSS codes used. So here it is. I will start in Rise Theme. I will keep updating this post every time I will receive CSS-related questions.

Please note that these codes are using placeholder values. For instance, you can change the hex colors and the sizes. Also, if the code doesn't work, try adding !important before the semi-colon.

Where to put these CSS codes? For overall theme changes, just go to your Thrive Dashboard -- Theme Options -- Style & Layout Settings -- Custom CSS. Any codes you put here won't affect the landing pages because they are standalone. So for landing pages, just click the Settings (gear icon) on the top-left side of your Thrive Architect panel, then Custom CSS.
