    I am still very new to HTML. I was trying to make the menu background a different color. I got it to the color that I want, but in the process, I also made the text that same color. I can’t seem to find where I did it or find out how to fix it (like what combo of html I should be editing). Here’s the link: http://fluffbumbabies.com
    and I need help ASAP. I’m getting so frustrated and I have no idea where else to look.

    ok when ever you start editing your website like that .. you want to backup your styles.css file or your database.

    You might want to check the
    APPEARANCE Menu
    see if your theme has options to change these colors

    if not .. its in your styles.css file in your theme directory

    I go to appearance and then editor. And i have to do the coding all myself. That’s where I’m stuck. :/

    ok so it should be a thingy like

    a {color:#123456} for the link color
    or maybe

    .menu a {color:#123456} for the link color

    Are you aware that any changes you make to theme files will be lost when the theme is updated? Not a good way to go. Use a child theme or custom CSS plugin instead.

    For help with your theme, please post on the theme’s own forum:

    something that might help you
    if you use firefox install the
    Firebug Plugin for your browser

    It will let you right click elements on a page and examine the CSS

    wpyogi that is helpful but the guy cant edit a color setting on a anchor.. child themes are a quantum leap

    However you can edit a theme and make it your own theme by editing the name at the top of the CSS file or set the version to 789.0.1 and it will not request updates for a few decades

    @jumboclicks – we help people make child themes here all the time. Or installing a custom CSS plugin is very easy. Advising people to modify theme files is NOT good advice. Please do not do that here.

    @fluffbumbabies – please post a new thread in the forum for the theme you are using and someone can help you with this.
