Menu text wrong color–on only one page

  • I’m using Weaver theme with a lot of modifications (made through Weaver’s built-in admin, not style.css) and it’s almost ready, except for one weird problem. If you visit the main page here: https://www.alcohollywood.com, the menu text is #ffffff. If you visit the blog, however: https://www.alcohollywood.com/?page_id=22 the text is the same color as the background (#3f3f3f I believe).

    I cannot for the life of me figure out where the site is getting that idea. I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix it, but nothing’s worked. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to make the blog menu text #ffffff?

  • I’ve never used that theme before but looking at the markup I can see the menu links text are being wrapped in a span and applying the background color to the text. Is this something you added or an option you may not have cleared out? The links text on the main page don’t have a span around them.

    <span style=”color:#3f3f3f;”>BLOG</span>

    Hi Pete,

    That is so strange, that isn’t something I added and I don’t even think it’s an option through Weaver admin. I’m sorry to have to ask such a silly question, but could you tell me where I need to go to remove it? I know WP doesn’t store individual pages in the file structure so I’m not really sure how to get rid of that.

    Thank you!

    I’m not sure what’s causing that either but here’s a way you can get around it. Find the custom stylesheet style-weaver.css. Then add a line at the bottom that has this code:

    .single #access a span {color: #fff !important;}

    Since it’s only happening on the single post template we target the ‘single’ body class. and then we have to add the !important declaration to override the inline styles.

    Argh. I’m sorry to be such a pain but I can’t find that file (even in my FTP manager)–all I have is style.css. Any ideas?

    Thanks again for all your help.

    I’ll try to get a hold of that theme to check out later on today. You could add that code to your main stylesheet but you would then run the risk of losing your changes if you were to upgrade the theme in the future. If you aren’t worried about that then just add it to the bottom of your style.css file.

    I did add it to the bottom of style.css but it didn’t have any effect, for some reason. Very frustrating. Thanks for taking all this time to help me out.
