   I have a technical question, i can’t find a way to change the take off the blue
   color that is on a link in my left menu when the page is active ???? and all 
   the sub page ? I try everything, but can’t find where is hiden this option. see:
   [http://www.a-picture-from-switzerland.com/?page_id=73](http://www.a-picture-from-switzerland.com/?page_id=73)
   it’s even more obvious in the page “focales” best regards Laurent

 * If you learn to use a web debugging tool like [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/)
   or [Chrome Developer Tools](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/),
   you will be able to see what CSS rules affect each element, and then write your
   own overriding rules.

    I will try those program
   you mentioned My knowledge are still at the time of “frames” and it is the first
   time I use WordPress I bought the theme Avada but it is so complicated for me
   that I gave up, and this theme Earth Pro is much more simple. Thank you for your
   help 😉

 * I’d like to remove some of the left padding from the sidebar because 300 x 250
   google ads are being cut off. How can I do that? Thank you!

 * [@jzonewarrior](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jzonewarrior/), the tricky
   thing is that the main content area and the sidebar widths are set as a percentage.
   Just removing the padding isn’t going to help, because as the user shrinks the
   screen width, the width of the sidebar will shrink proportionally, possibly (
   probably) under 300px. If you just try setting the minimum width of the sidebar
   to 300px (min-width), the sidebar will wrap below at screen widths of 1110px.
   Since you need at least 300px to display the Google ads, you’ll need to convert
   those percentage widths to fixed pixels and use media queries to adjust the widths
   at different viewport settings. For example, you can give this a try:
 *     ```
       #secondary {
          /* Set width to 300px to fit Google ads */
          width: 300px;
          padding: 0;  /* remove padding so ads fit */
          float: left;
       }
       #primary {
          /* since enclosing content div is 1100px, 1100-300 = 800 */
          width: 800px;
       }
       /* The following adjusts the main content area (primary) depending upon the screen width */
       @media screen and (max-width: 1200px) {
          #primary {
             width: 600px;
          }
       }
       @media screen and (max-width: 940px) {
          #primary {
             width: 500px;
          }
       }
       @media screen and (max-width: 840px) {
          #primary {
             width: 400px;
          }
       }
       @media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
          #primary {
             width: auto;
          }
          #secondary {
             width: auto;
          }
       }
       ```
   
 * Remember my warning in a post above about using either a child theme or a CSS
   plugin to add CSS rules if the theme does not have a Custom CSS option. If you
   edit the theme files directly, your changes will be lost if/when the theme is
   upgraded.
