I am not sure how I am supposed to create pages when the editor removes the style elements. I read one post which said to add *[*] to Extra Allowed Content. That does not work for me (DNN 9.8.1).

But the larger question is, where do i create/install css pages? Inline styling is frowned upon. So where/how do i create css? I guess i could use css which came with my theme but then those classes would be stripped from the page as well.

at this point i can only but create the barest and most primitive pges and i am the world's worst page designer. i won't bother to post the html as i believe it would be stripped from my comment.

Hi Tony,

I believe your own CSS classes or other styling can be added to the Custom CSS section in the settings area. This should allow you to perform systemwide styling and thus also reuse it in several pages.

According to other posts you do need to add the *(*)*{*} in order to save html with classes in your pages.

I just checked a site that doesn't remove html tags,

Under Site Settings, Site Behavior, More, Open HTML Editor Manager I went to the Editor Config tab. There the first box, labelled, AllowedContent, contains "true"

You might want to try that.

some progress was made. i was able to add a styling element to a

  • tag. when i saved it, the rendered page was as i expected. when i edit the html module, the style element was gone. and saving of course gave an unwanted rendition. this is insane.

To be more explicit:

1. Add value *(*)*{*}  to Extra Allowed Content in Configure Editor

2. Add value true to Allowed Content in Configure Editor

Navigation: "Under Site Settings, Site Behavior, More, Open HTML Editor Manager I went to the Editor Config tab. There the first box, labelled, AllowedContent, contains "true""

If your html module does not behave correctly, you may need to configure it using the link below the module editor.

@Tony

DNNBro is correct, if you have superuser rights, you can add your own css. It is on portal level, so if there are multiple portals in the instance, make sure, you have the correct one.

If you are not a host user, you can ask the host to add an @import css rule at that spot and work in your own css file using the file manager or FTP.
