FOR EVERYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CUSTOM COLORS NOT CHANGING Someone already said this but you can add the following under your map-merge function (for example): ``` $theme-colors: map-merge($theme-colors, $custom-theme-colors); // You should already have this, so no need to copy this part. // Start copying at the line below $theme-colors-rgb: map-loop($theme-colors, to-rgb, "$value"); $utilities-colors: map-merge( $theme-colors-rgb, ( "black": to-rgb($black), "white": to-rgb($white), "body": to-rgb($body-color) ) ); $utilities-text-colors: map-loop($utilities-colors, rgba-css-var, "$key", "text"); $utilities-bg-colors: map-loop($utilities-colors, rgba-css-var, "$key", "bg"); // Stop copying at the line above @import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap"; // You should already have this as well, so no need to copy this part. ``` If this doesn't work, make sure you've typed everything in correctly. Reply to this comment if you have any questions! Also make sure you are watching your sass file at the bottom of the page, you have to click that button every time you load up your project. Hope it helps!

[@playmambo9573]

Thank you! Your solution worked for me!

[@kalyanoliveira3224]

thanks! why does this work?

[@Danny-zf2wu]

try this // merge the maps to add new theme colors $theme-colors: map-merge($custom-theme-colors, $theme-colors); // import bootstrap @import '../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap'; @each $key,$val in $custom-theme-colors{ .bg-#{$key}{ background-color: $val; } .text-#{$key}{ color: $val; } }

Live sass didnt creat a Css folder for me so I created the Folder myself and I copied the css files there and then it worked. I hoped that helped anyone who has the same problem like me.

Thank you

[@NaveedAnwarNZ]

Thanks for the training. Really appreciated! Very simple and comprehensive for the starters. Just a quick question, I have a scenario where in Bootstrap-3 the .col-xs-n class was defined outside the media query but in Bootstrap 5 it is defined within the media query. Due to which, the wkhtmltopdf utility is unable to use .col-xs-n class. What do you think is the best idea to create a custom class outside media query and inherit it from the .col-xs-n class. Is it possible to show the video on it please? Thanks in advance!

You are awesome! Do you know how many videos unsuccessfully made it through my thick skull? You were the first that explained this perfectly. I effing get it now! The only thing I had to look up was how to get npm to install bootstrap 4.6 because the site was originally created with ver. 4 and was afraid weird things might happen or not work with v5.

Anyone else not seeing the same settings in there settings.json file? What is the default and what did he change?

[@chrischti]

This is a great course, I went through all the Bootstrap 5 Crash Course now, very helpful. One questions, it was mentioned that overriding styles using a individual css is not recommended, but I wonder why. If I just have to modify some styles, it seems so much easier to me just to add a small, individual stylesheet, rather than setting all this up. What is the reason using an individual css is not recommended?

[@innameleshko7834]

I think the answer is if u have small project and small changes it is ok, but if your project is huge - its not an option. In my bootstrap course it was explained like this "This is how all components are presented within Bootstrap. Almost any external change is the result of the use of variables. This approach ensures that you bind to the framework and change all components when you change the basic settings. Many developers, when creating their components, miss this point, which negatively affects the future support of the project, since changing the settings will not change the component. To do this, you will need to edit the CSS separately. If there are dozens of such components, then the possibility of error increases, and the time required for changes will increase significantly." sorry for mistakes^ its just google translate from russian

[@christosdaglis1163]

Exactly, absolutely no need to do all this for small projects. If you're working a project by yourself, you can work with external files. This is basically for really large scale projects that involve teams.

[@julioclc]

6:01 - It is just what I was searching for.... WHY I need to write the variable ABOVE the import line. I was writing it in other way and didnt get any results!

can i change the value of user defined variable in bootstrap?
