Best practices
- You cannot inspect the page and use any classes given as it may not give you the intended results. Use only Zuddl custom classes listed for branding customizations.
- Add "!important" on properties that aren't behaving as expected, which may be because of any existing class. This tag will give precedence to the CSS.
- Do not use <style> tags in the Custom CSS text area.
- The feature only supports plain CSS and not CSS nesting.
Embed the schedule widget
- Click on the </> Get embeddable code icon to view the embeddable link.
Click on the Copy button.
- Paste the code in your HTML webpage inside the <body> tag.
- The schedule widget will be visible to visitors viewing the website. Any updates to your schedule will automatically be reflected in the schedule widget.
