Unable to remove text shading

Try this custom CSS:

div.meta a,
.bctt-click-to-tweet a {
  background-color: transparent;
}

Since you’re already using Jetpack, an easy way to add custom CSS is to activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.

Hello Stephen.

I copied and pasted the customer CSS you provided to my CSS Stylesheet Editor. Unfortunately, the text shading is still present.

I don’t see the code on your site. Are you using a caching plugin or is your host caching your site? Were there any errors when you added the code?

As far as I know, I don’t have a caching plugin. So I’m going to assume that my host is caching my site. I didn’t have any errors when I added the code. I just downloaded a Custom CSS plugin and entered the custom CSS you provided. Still no changes. I have no clue as to what I’m doing wrong.

I checked your site just now (5:03 pm, Mountain time) and I do see the code, but you’ll need to make a slight change. Try this instead:

div.meta a, span.bctt-click-to-tweet a {
    background-color: transparent;
}

Stephen, it worked!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!*insert happy dance here*
