    Hi there,

    Quite new to word press and seem to be doing ok but stuck on a couple of things…

    my site is https://www.dianejessiemiller.co.uk

    1) how do I change the colour of my tagline? I’ve looked at many tutorials, videos and discussions, but maybe i’m missing something… I’ve gone to style CSS and looked for colour # in the H2 section, but can’t see which one it is I need to change… I’ve tried changing a couple of the colour codes (always resetting after) but with no joy…

    2) From the computer on the blog, if you click “read more” it takes me back to my “About” page… no idea why. This also happens if the site is visited from a mobile phone…

    If any can help and put it in layman’s terms I’d be very grateful…

    Thanks in advance ??

  • this code will change the color of your name

    .site-title a, .site-title a:hover {
        color: red;
    }

    this will change the color of the line below

    .site-description {
        color: red;
    }

    change ‘red’ to whatever color you want to change it to. Add to custom css or at the bottom of your child theme style.css

    Thank you Mr Case…

    I’ve added this code (along with the colour prefix #ff0000) to the very bottom of style sheet and nothing has happened. I’m I putting it in the wrong place?

    I’m going in via appearance>editor>Stylesheet (style.css)

    Sorry, this is all very new to me ??

    that is the right place, but i’m not seeing it in the code. did you push the “update file” button when you added it?

    Yeah I did that. But removed it when it didn’t work. I’ve put it back in the code now and still isn’t working…

    You did it perfectly. there is an inline style that is taking precedence over your style sheet. to overcome this add ‘!important’ after the style. like this

    .site-description {
        color: #ff0000 !important;
    }

    That should do it.

    Yay! Thank you soon much! ?? ??

    Can you help me with my second query or should I repost that in another discussion?

    Hmmm, not sure it is… Is about where my pages are navigating to. From the computer on the blog, if you click “read more” it takes me back to my “About” page… no idea why. This also happens if the site is visited from a mobile phone…

    Totally understand if you can’t help ??

    I cant find a copy of your theme online to look at the files.

    can you help me? from the admin menu can you go to “appearance > editor” and on the right look for a file named “archive.php” copy the contents of that file and paste them here. please be sure to highlight what you paste and use the ‘code’ button, so it formats it properly here.

    its because the anchor’s href is set to about page.
    [Read more…]

    I want to know how you are adding read more button ??

    Thank you Mr Case… Is that what you need?

    Pankaj, it was just part of the blog page. I haven’t added buttons, I don’t know how too. It did it automatically.

    kind of, but not really. can you post another blog. make sure it has a good amount of text in it. you can just use lorem ipsum if you want, i just want to see what happens. it may help me track it down better.

    Sorry for the delay…

    I’ve added another one…

    I noticed that the permalink is going to “about”? Has this got something to do with it?

    when you go to your pages section in the admin section, is ‘about’ the first page in the list? I’m just trying to figure out what theme file is controlling that part of your website, and then beyond that, figure out why it is defaulting to the ‘about’ page.

    can you create a dummy page called ‘aaaaa’? you can delete it later, I just want to test something.
