How to customize a classic Sharepoint page using CSS?

Anonymous

For some reason, my sharepoint page is not allowing me to edit a section of the page. There are two, "two columns with header and footer sections" from the layout feature, which totals 8 blocks. The bottom 4 blocks are the ones that cannot be edited and are a duplicate of the top blocks. George, Microsoft Community Moderator, suggested I post my issue in this forum for guidance on utilizing CSS coding to customize the classic page to rid of those blocks, which I'm unfamiliar with. All administrators have tried to modify but none of us can.

    Hi @Sylvia Simmons,

    Based on your description, it seems that the bottom 4 blocks of the “two columns with header and footer sections” layout feature are a duplicate of the top blocks and cannot be edited. The web part in the header sections of a page can be edited and deleted, right?

    It seems this is not a common issue per my test. However, we can work together to narrow down and resolve the situation.I would like to summarize your situation, could you please help confirm the below?

    1.Did this happen all of a sudden? Can footer sections that cannot be deleted be deleted before?

    2.The web part in header sections can be deleted normally, right?

    One possibility is that the page has been customized with a script or web part that is causing the issue. In this case, you can try to remove the script or web part to see if it resolves the issue.

    Hope the information can help you. And if there have any unclear or misunderstanding, please feel free to post back and we’ll continue to help you all the time!

    Your understanding and patience will be highly appreciated! Hope you have a good day and keep safe!
