 * This theme is soooo close to being exactly what my client wants. One of the little
   tweaks I have been trying without success to make is to override the theme styles
   for the links, substituting orange for the theme’s red.
 * Since there is no built-in option for custom CSS within the theme (future addition?)
   and it’s already so close to perfect, rather than creating a child theme I am
   using the Simple Custom CSS plugin. At this point the unsuccessful code is:
 *     ```
       /* link hover state */
       .paging-navigation .current, .paging-navigation .current {
       	background-color: #ca6b1e !important;
       }
       .page-links span a, .page-links a:hover {
       	background: #ca6b1e !important;
       }
   
       /* Site Header/Footer */
       .th-slider-readmore-button a {
       	background: #ca6b1e !important;
       }
       .site-footer a:hover {
       	color: #ca6b1e !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * What am I missing? What should I change?
 * Thank you in advance!

 * I believe all of this worked when I tried it out using Chrome tools…

 * Hi,
    I assume you are using the latest version of the theme. I have given the
   facility to change the theme color in the customizer. If you are giving different
   colors for those elements than the given colors from the theme customize screen,
   yes it would not work.
 * I will give the custom css facility in the next theme updates. Until that you
   have to edit the customizer.php file which is in the ‘inc’ folder of the theme.
   Don’t worry very simple edit. 🙂
 * Open the customizer.php file and find the ‘thbusiness_customize_css’ function.
   Inside that function there are class selectors exactly same to the class selectors
   that you want to change. Just Delete them. And you are good to go. 🙂
 * Cheers..

 * !!! I can’t believe I missed that in the customizer! That’s all I needed. Thank
   you
