Page hyperlink color and space between header and text

  • I had to drop an ancient theme that is no longer supported.

    Bam seems to give me most of what I want. But I am having some issues with my child theme customization.

    I will ask about three issues here:

    1. Hyperlink color within pages and posts cannot be changed.

    I have changed the color scheme to earth tones and brown/beige colors. I am unable to find any way to change the color of hyperlinks. They are light blue and purple and look very out of place.

    Under “Colors” there is a place for Article Link and Article Link Hover. It took me a while to figure out that this was for the bottom of blog posts.

    There is no way to change the color of links inside paragraphs, like to other websites or to other pages or posts, etc.

    Is there some code I can install in the style sheet for the child-theme and if so where do I put it?

    2. I would like to decrease the distance between the Post/Page Name and the first line of text.

    I can do that a little bit by changing line spacing to 0 on the H1 style, but I do not want that. I want the space ABOVE the first line to be shallower, without influencing other lines below the first line. It looks like about 60pts of space or more at the moment.

    3. Is there any way to add a background image to the OUTER background?

    When I tried to put something in Background image, it did not show up in the inner background or the outer background.

    In my previous theme I had a repeating image of wood grain on the outer background that surrounds the actual blog, which looked very nice. Is there anyway for me to do this with Bam?

    Thank you!

  • I have exactly the same issue. Have changed the color values for article link and hover but they have no effect. Either I’m missing something basic or there’s a bug here. Would appreciate some help too! Thanks.

    Seems there’s a bug in the BAM theme so the link color changes don’t display. You can do the following to work around:

    To change the link color add the following to your “Additional CSS” under Customize. Use whatever color code you want to substitute in for these numbers.

    .page-content a,
    .entry-content a {
    color: #123456;
    }

    To change the hover color add the following to your CSS.

    .page-content a:hover,
    .entry-content a:hover {
    color: #654321;
    }
