    WP v 3.7.4
    Blank Custom Theme
    https://gracechurchhouston.com

    In the footer (lower right) i have a “click for map” link below the address which works (goes to google map) but i am not getting the CSS to recognize how i want it formatted.. not recognizing color changes and size adjustments. It is using the blue color for the blog title links rather than white that i’d like to use to show contrast.
    Thank you.

  • Add the following to your style.css:

    #map-link a {
    color: #fff;
    }

    Please look into creating a child theme, if you aren’t already.

    Thank you…that worked. I had left off the “a” so it didn’t pick up the change.

    Re using a child theme. I have read the documentation on using them earlier. I understand from what I’ve read that the purpose is to preserve and avoid altering a WP theme so the original parent theme can be updated more easily later. I am using a blank custom theme that was written in html code with CSS in a web design class last fall. We then started with a clean blank WP theme and placed sections of the code in the proper places using WP structure. Since I will not be updating with an existing WP theme but am only working with and editing my own code and CSS, is there another reason that i should still use child themes? I am still in a learning process so i would appreciate any input on this.
    Thanks.

    I suppose if you never plan on updating the theme, the only purpose it would serve is for organization / preserving the parent files in case you do something like cause a fatal error, you could just revert back to the parent.

    ok… thank you, Craig. I appreciate your advice and it’s definitely worth considering. Thanks also for your quick reply. I’m sure i’ll have more questions to come as i progress.
