 * Hi Mat,
 * How do I set the colour for hover state of the links in the sidebar menu? Is 
   there a style I can add to the custom style sheet I have set up for the theme?

 * Hi David,
 * You are probably looking for something like this:
 *     ```
       .advanced-sidebar-menu li a:hover {
           color: red !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Note: I added an !important to the style to override anything that may exist 
   in your theme. You will want to remove that if not necessary.

 * Hi Mat,
 * Thank you for your reply. Links remain unchanged on mouse hover after adding 
   the style you suggested to either the child theme style sheet or the advanced-
   sidebar-menu/views/sidebar-menu.css file. Mouse over currently has no effect,
   but I noticed that in the plugin style sheet file there is this style for the
   hover state:
 * .advanced-sidebar-menu ul li a:hover{
    text-decoration: underline; }
 * Is this meant to underline links by default on mouse hover?

 * Update to my last post. Other properties, like text-decoration and font-weight,
   work with the
 * .advanced-sidebar-menu li a:hover
 * selector, but the color property does not.

 * And another update. I removed the parent, child and grandchild page colors I 
   had set in the plugin options and the color property in the style now works.
 * In short, all is fine.
