Changing colours in the CSS

    I love this theme and the way you can customise the colours. But there are a few that you can’t change and I’ve tried everything I can think of. I’ve searched the CSS for # to find hex numbers and changed what I thought would help but it hasn’t.
    It’s the hover colour on links that’s bothering me because the colours are so light they don’t show up on the pale background I’ve got. The main navigation links are fine, it’s links in comments and auto-generated when you do this
    That should be a link to my site, by the way.
    If you go to the site fagley.org.uk you should see a mailto link for [email protected]. It’s green but changes to the background colour when you hover. At least that’s what I assume – maybe it goes transparent? Other links turn white which is what I want them to do.

    Thank you – unfortunately it didn’t change anything 🙁
    Maybe I managed to do it wrong, though it seems simple enough….

    Hi @ruthbillheimer

    So what’s happening here is that your links on hover are getting set to the same color as the sidebar; this is a remnant from when the ‘Sidebar Color’ used to be ‘Secondary Color’ for the whole theme. I agree that the issue you’re experiencing is confusing and frustrating, and I’ll make a note to add an option in the Customizer to be able to directly edit the hover link color in the main content area.

    Until I get a chance to upload this change, however, I’ve tested out the suggestion from @poonam9 and that should really work as a fix for now! Did you copy out exactly what she’s posted? The !important part is really well…important. 🙂

    I copied-and-pasted so it’s exactly right, but I might have put it in the wrong place. Yes, I just tried it and that’s what was wrong. How I could manage to put it in the wrong place I don’t know!!!!
    Thank you both.
