Thank you so so much for your help, this works beautifully!

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your time. I have learnt so much from this post alone.

Thank you so much for the reply 🙂

So far I have this which displays the dropdown list but doesn’t appear to show any search results. Results are showing like this which is almost there:

<form role="search" method="get" class="search-form" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
<select name="country" id="country" class="postform" onchange="submit();">

Thank you for the reply.

I have double checked the HTML and there isn’t anything there thats changed recently. its very strange.

Thank you for the reply and information. Any ideas what I could do to fix this? Is W3 Total Cache for Minify not a good idea to use?

Thanks

Dan

Apologies mods.

I added the code above and the styling suggested to my CSS but still the colour isnt changing. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you everyone 🙂

I’ve just read the codex and tried it out for myself but I seem to be getting a syntax error each time so I’m guessing ive done something wrong.

here is the code of the ‘Top Story’ section that I’d like to change colour
http://wordpress.pastebin.com/iiGdHeaZ

What would I need to add to the CSS? Just something like this?

.category-79 {

	background: #8b0000;

    color: #fafad2;

	font-size: 22px;

	line-height: 26px;

	}

Anyone have any ideas? Sorry if I didn’t explain it clearly.
