How to Remove The Light Blue Color from a Sticky Post?

As you are using the default WordPress theme, you need to start by creating a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

Thanks for reply

I just installed a child theme (I used a wordpress plugin as I’m pretty new to wordpress editing)

Can you explain the next step?

Thank again

Try adding:

.home .sticky {
    background:#fff;
}

to your child theme’s style.css file.

^^ Thanks worked 100%

Now i have another small problem

The letters arre in a funny font – not the regular font

(if you dont know what I mean take a look at the site for a second and youll understand..)

Is there any way to fix this?

Add:

.sticky {
    font-style: normal;
}

to your child theme’s style.css file.

Just tried adding

.sticky {
font-style: normal;
}

but I dont see any changes

Is there a certain place in styel.css I should put them in?

Yes – always add the new CSS at the end of the child’s style.css file.

still not working for me

a plugin’s style
/wp-content/plugins/simple-sitemap/css/ss_style.css

is influencing the style of .sticky:

.sticky {
	font-style: italic;
	color: #999;
	font-size: 0.7em;
}

you can either edit that stylesheet; or add corrective styles to style.css of the child theme.

also, style.css of your child theme is a bit messed; there were styles in the commented area near the top; correction:

I believe the last method worked
