Can't change color scheme!

I had the same problem. I just added this to the jetpack’s custom css plugin:

/*CHANGES COLOR OF THE SIDEBAR*/
body:after {
	background: #8b6876 !important;
}

.site-header {
	background: #8b6876 !important;
}

I changed my sidebar color to #8b6876. In the theme’s style.css it is set to #1abc9c.

I have the same problem, any solution yet?

@blacktechdiva: It seems your solution simply updates the sidebar without affecting the entire colour scheme?

Thanks

I tried the solution by @blacktechdiva, and it works a half. Yes, it does not affect the entire colour scheme.

Thanks at all.

Our apologies – there seems to be a problem with the Customizer’s colour schemes in Writr 1.1.1. I’m reporting this to our developers so they can put in a fix and we’ll keep you all posted here.

The issue with switching colour schemes in Writr has been fixed and we’ve submitted the new version to www.ads-software.com.

Until it shows up as an update in your dashboard, you can download 1.1.2 manually here if you like:

Thanks!

Problem solved.

As a suggestion, please, add the meta “Categories” for the blog. I had to enter it manually every update adding this piece of code in the inc/template-tags.php:

$category_list = get_the_category_list(‘, ‘);
?>
<li class=”categories-meta”>
<div class=”genericon genericon-category”></div>
<span class=”screen-reader-text”><?php _e( ‘Category’, ‘writr’ ); ?></span>
<?php echo $category_list; ?>

<?php

And welcome to my blog.

Thanks again.

So the problem is solved and a suggestion added (I wish developers take in mind), I come to mark this topic as resolved.

Problem solved.

Great! Thanks for confirming.

As a suggestion, please, add the meta “Categories” for the blog.

The Writr theme designer intentionally decided to display tags on the front end, and not categories. While this theme focusses more on tags and post formats, you can still use a category widget if you’d like your readers to be able to find posts by category. Any categories you’ve assigned to your posts will be picked up and reflected there.

I had to enter it manually every update adding this piece of code in the inc/template-tags.php:

The best way to modify a theme is by making a a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten every time you update the theme, as you’ve had to do. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

Thanks. Now I’m trying with that, but when I create a new functions.php in my child theme, I got a blank page.

Nevermind, I had to re-declare the function (that was originally in inc/template-tags.php ) into the child functions.php, and problem solved.

Thanksagain.

jorgicio – do you mind starting a new thread for your separate issue, since the original problem with colour schemes has been resolved? Thanks.

If you’re all sorted, that’s great, but if you still need any help just start a new thread and we’ll continue there.
