It appears to have resolved the issues. I am not seeing any errors in my logs at this time. Thank you.
I figured out the custom CSS code to change the color but I cannot figure out how t remove the overlapping with the Featured Image. So I went with colors that were at least visible when overlapping. If there is a way to make it so the category links do not overlap the image that would be wonderful, especially for viewing on mobile.
Also having another issue with the Category links. On mobile, the Category link is overlapping the Featured Image.
