link color

hi there,

I have a problem I hope you can help me with: I would like to get rid of the green color on my website. Therefore, I first changed the hover color to red by using the following CSS-code: a:hover { color: #descired_color !important; }
and it worked perfectly.

nevertheless, I would also like for the text-links on my pages not to be green but rather black (turning red once you hover over them). the problem is: if I change the color with the CSS-code: a { color: #desired_color !important; }, the header goes black as well – which makes it unreadable. me question is: how can I save the white in the header and only change the green link-text on the pages to black?

thank you very much!!!

best wishes

Hi @karincita,

Hitchcock includes a setting for changing the green accent color, available at Appearance > Customize > Colors. If you set a color there, all of the elements that are currently green will change to the color you specify. That won’t change the hover color, though — for that, you will need to target each element individually in CSS and set that hover effect.

As for the text in the header, you can set a specific color for that in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS, by adding the following:
```
.blog-title a { color: #ca0000 !important; }
.blog-description { color: #0000ca !important; }
```
You can change the hex value to whatever color you want, of course. Let me know how you get on.

dear anders,

thank you so much for getting back in touch quickly. obviously, I am very new and stupid with this, but when I open the options to customize hitchcoc, there is no color option, only typography, website information, theme options (without color, only the possibility to show preview titles), header picture, menues, start page settings and additional ccs. is it me? or wordpress?

again, thank you for your kind support – the theme is beautiful!!

best wishes

Hi @karincita,

No worries. Make sure that you’re running the most recent version of Hitchcock – the accent color control wasn’t in there in the earliest versions of the theme. You can check for updates by going to Dashboard > Updates.

Greetings @anlino,

Even with the latest updated version of the Hitchcock Theme, those are options still missing in the Customizer with the latest WordPress update (4.9.2). Any tips other tips to recover them?

Hi @cashdro,

Seems like I owe you an apology – I actually managed to botch the custom color setting in the most recent update, making it disappear completely from the customizer. I have submitted a fix that should be live in a bit.
