Custom CSS and JS Settings

Custom CSS and JS settings allow for extensive customization of your website's appearance and behavior. Admins can write and implement their own CSS styles and JavaScript code to achieve specific design and functionality goals. This feature is valuable for those who need a high level of control over their website's aesthetics and interactions.

Example of Code Editor

When duplicating a website or cloning the event, custom CSS and JS module content is not carried over.

Troubleshooting:

  • Please note to have the block available on the website, you need to simply drag and drop the relevant block selected to alignment you would like.

  • Do not forget to “Save” your changes and “Publish” if they are ready to ensure this new addition will be visible on your website.

  • Sometimes some of the elements are not publicly visible due to CSS & JS code edits being made. Please always check CSS or / and JS settings to ensure the code added there is not influencing anything else, including whatever has disappeared or changed. Your Technical Account Manager can also help with this.

  • Dynamic Content elements completely depend on the latest data received on the platform in the backend. If there is a specific sponsor or exhibitor, etc, which is not visible, please ensure that this sponsor or exhibitor is already on the platform and that there no specific permissions applied to them.
