Color edit help

    I am using the theme on https://fraquohandfranchomme.com/ which I am currently building.

    I have used the theme’s color options, but I see that I can’t customize some items.

    I searched for the classes of the elements I want to edit, but when I try to edit them in the custom CSS section, it doesn’t work. Apparently I’m doing something wrong.

    The items I want to customize are:

    1) the blue backgrounds of the three tabs

    2) The side menu links (the menu on the left) The links are red when you hover, when you don’t etc… How do I customize those colors?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    1. The theme options cannot have color styling options for every single element in the theme, custom code is often required.

    2. What’s the custom CSS code that you have added and it didn’t work? Post it here and I will check why it is not working.

    Hello,

    For example, for the left menu (where it says Art Collections)

    .menu-item {
    color: #xxxxxx;
    }

    For the blue tab:

    .ilovewp-tab{
    background-color: #xxxxxx;
    }

    I try to identify the classes with Firefox’s “Inspect element option”…

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    Where did you take these CSS rules from? They don’t do anything.

    1. .menu-item { color: #xxxxxx; } will not do anything.
    #site-aside .widget_nav_menu a { color: #xxxxxx; } will.

    2. #ilovewp-featured-tabs .ilovewp-tab {}

    You should probably ditch Firefox and switch to Google Chrome, the inspector tool shows you the correct CSS class with a single right click.

    Hello,

    The first one was OK, but it only changed the color of the links in the menu.

    The color of the link when you are on the page itself has still not changed.

    The second one did work, but they are all the same shade. How can I do it so that the one that is selected is one shade and the other one is another? As the two blues were originally?

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately I cannot provide you with customization assistance, this is a free theme after-all.

    I see. I guess I thought since you made the theme you could offer some insight into how to customize it.

    Other times I got some help even for free products ??

    It’s strange in a way that some colors are customizable and others are not.

    Thanks for the initial help though…

    That is not strange at all.
    Adding 100 color settings to the Customizer would take some days of full work and complicate the code by a lot.
    Or instead you can customize it according to your needs via CSS in 2 minutes, if you know what you are doing.

    If you are looking for a free theme AND full customization controls, then you will need at least some basic CSS knowledge, it will help you along the years.
