Cannot customize colors in WP.org after migrating from WP.com

    Hi, I have searched this forum for ages but cannot find an answer that works for me. Some people seem to have had the same issue but then figure it out apparently and don’t say how they got there, so I’m still at a loss.

    Anyway… I moved my site from WordPress.com to www.ads-software.com, hosted by Bluehost. I had been running the Dyad2 theme, which doesn’t seem to be available in WP.org themes. Dyad works fine, but for whatever reason there is no option in the customizer to change the colors. I am a beginniner and have been trying to find a simple way to change the accent color (I really don’t like the yellow #e7ae01 and want to change to #8b626d – which I had done in Dyad2 on WP.com and it was simple). I’ve tried searching how to make changes in Additional CSS customization but again, cannot find an easy fix.

    I’m pulling my hair out over this – can anyone advise what I can do to make the accent color change across the website? PS. My site is still “coming soon” as it’s in the building phase. TIA!

  • It’s an accent color which is applied in quite a few places, so you’ll need to add CSS to quite a few items to change it!

    Feel free to try this; I think it should be all of the items affected by that accent color:

    is-singular .post-navigation .nav-links::after, pre::before, .menu-toggle::before, #cancel-comment-reply-link::before, .posts .entry-inner::before, .is-singular .entry-inner::before, .error404 .entry-inner::before, .page-template-eventbrite-index .page-header::before, .single-event .entry-header::before, .post-table-of-contents a::before, .bypostauthor .comment-author::before, .post-navigation a::before, .posts-navigation .nav-previous a::before, .posts-navigation .nav-previous a::after, .posts-navigation .nav-next a::before, .posts-navigation .nav-next a::after, .comment-edit-link::before, .comment .reply::before, .jetpack-social-navigation ul a::before, .link-more a {
  background-color: #8b626d;
}
