Customizing Twitter Bootstrap Grid Does not Work

Question

I am trying to make a 24 column grid. I calculated this:

Site Width: 997px

Number of Columns: 24

Column Width: 31px

Gutter Width: 11px

Fl

Answer 1

It's working for me

.span8 {
  width: 325px;
}

.span24 {
  width: 997px;
}

Just check that you really are changing the right fields, empty your browser cache, check that you are opening the right files and use this url. Be careful not to be misguided by the placeholders.

If it's still not working, you can download the less files, change the few variables in variables.less and compile it yourself (get help here or with this pastebin).
