Any sugestion? * Theme Author [Shaped Pixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shaped-pixels/) * (@shaped-pixels) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-customizing-1/#post-6230404) * which ones in the navigation colour settings were you wanting to change? * I just tried them in my local test site and I was able to change colours for the menu link colour, the hover colour, and also the submenu background. * As you use the colour selector for the colours, do you see them change in the right preview window? Also, if you change the colours and click Save, do they change? * One last question…did you create a custom menu for your site with this theme? Here is a quick tutorial for that because if you haven’t this could be the problem: * [Setup Your Menus](http://www.shapedpixels.com/setup-emphasize/setup-your-menus) * Thread Starter [dogaruhoria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dogaruhoria/) * (@dogaruhoria) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-customizing-1/#post-6230417) * Is not only about the navigation setings. In Appearance >> Customize >> Navigation or Appearance >> Customize >> Colors it doesn’t work to change any color. For example I can’t change the colors for Footer Background, Footer Text, Footer Link Hover, Main Menu Background, Main Menu Links, Main Menu Hover & Active and Submenu Background. Unfortunatly the color selector doesn’t work for any part of the website.

By The way, where can i translate the copyright information from the footer and how can i setup a social menu? * Theme Author [Shaped Pixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shaped-pixels/) * (@shaped-pixels) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-customizing-1/#post-6230422) * Sometimes reinstalling WP helps if things that normally should be working don’t. But good to hear it’s working now. * For the copyright, there is a setting in the customizer for the copyright name… Go to Appearance >> Customize >> Basic Settings >> Your Copyright Name. * For any other theme translations, you will need to generate a language file for translation strings using the theme’s emphasize.pot file with a program like PoEdit or something else that can do it. For reference, you can check out this as a starting point: [Translate WP](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/tools/poedit/) * To setup your social menu, my tutorial will help: [Create your Social Networking Menu](http://www.shapedpixels.com/setup-emphasize/create-your-social-networking-menu) * Thread Starter [dogaruhoria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dogaruhoria/) * (@dogaruhoria) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-customizing-1/#post-6230434) * Romanian translation has just been finished.

However, at this time I am not adding any translations to the theme download. I may consider it in the future though if I get enough requests for it. * There is also the problem when updating a theme, that the translation file(s) may also need to be kept up to date…which would require everyone who provides translations to also help keep them updated when needed. * [antler44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antler44/) * (@antler44) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-customizing-1/#post-6230457) * Hello * I am using Emphasize 1.0.4 and there is no Navigation section in the Customizer. * I too need to change the colour of the menu links but cannot find a way of doing it. I have tried Custom CSS to no avail. I note in the page source of the rendered page, there is custom css which sets the menu colours etc but I cannot see how to overide it. * Any thoughts? Should this have been a new post – sorry if it should have been. * Theme Author [Shaped Pixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shaped-pixels/) * (@shaped-pixels) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-customizing-1/#post-6230458) * [@antler44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antler44/)….it looks like with the WP 4.3, they changed what used to be a default section in the customizer “ Nav” to incorporate a new setup for Menus. Basically it means what I had in the section “Nav” is no longer there due to the section change in the customizer. * I will have to update this theme immediately and upload it today. Hopefully the review team can approve it quickly. I will let the team know that this is a critical update. * [antler44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antler44/) * (@antler44) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-customizing-1/#post-6230461) * Hi SP * I note that you have added version 1.16. I guess it has not yet been approved but is it possible to get it now? * Thanks for fixing this issue. * Theme Author [Shaped Pixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shaped-pixels/) * (@shaped-pixels) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-customizing-1/#post-6230462) * [@antler44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antler44/)….You can get that here: [Emphasize 1.1.6](https://downloads.wordpress.org/theme/emphasize.1.1.6.zip) Unzip it, then manually upload it to replace your existing one.
