CSS for Set Sytes

Here’s the CSS that is working for me on the header, “Set Sytes”

.page-id-13 #shortcode-c6248e4ee380a3d6a0f11545ab65ba16 .special-title {
property: value !important
}

Here’s the CSS that is working for me on the header, “India Muerte and the Dragonfire Pearl”

.page-id-13 #shortcode-ee1a3be3476c19cfb92404b035dfdd49 .special-title {
property: value !important
}

Notes
  • The .page-id-13 selector should make the CSS unique to the page. In WordPress, you can find the page-specific class/selector, which is based on the page id, in the <body> tag of the page.
  • The spaces between the three selectors indicate that the latter is within the former selector
  • In the case of your site, using !important seems to be necessary to override other styles
