Sela theme – link colour customisation

  • Hi,

    I just created a sela child theme and I need your help with link color customisation.

    I cannot find a direct command to change the link colour in the posts. They seem to be linked to the blockquote command, in the reset section that also changes the Site title, post title color, text color in the menu and a few other things that I don’t want to touch.

    I am very new to child theme creation. I tried to enqueue the theme as suggested in the codex but it seemed it was overriden (or something else happened that is beyond my knowledge). Apologies in advance if I get coders hair stand in the air with this, but I did copied and pasted the whole of Sela in the child theme and modified the bits I wanted (mainly color). If you notice anything weird in the way I have made the changes please point it out, your feedback will be more than welcome.

    Many, many thanks in advance for your reply.

    The blog I need help with is here: https://www.eatyourselfgreek.com.

  • Hi enloula
    Your site is beautiful and reach of valued informations.
    Good job done

    If you mean the link to be Leave Comment and the date then put this code to your child theme style.css

    .entry-meta a {
color: red;
}

    If it is Post Title then use this code:

    .page-title, .entry-title, .entry-title a {
color: red;
}

    To make a different color when you hover your mouse over the title.

    .page-title, .entry-title, .entry-title a:hover {
color: green;
}

    Instead of red you can use any color you want

    Hope this was helpful.
    Do not hesitate to ask ??

    Cheers

    Hi @tahoerock

    Thank you very much for your kind words and your advice.
    I haven’t actually noted the red ‘highlights’ so it’s an added bonus. I will try later on today and hopefully it will work.

    The bit I wanted to change seems to be controlling, the Header letters, the colour of fonts in the menu and also the links in the body of the posts. I found this extremely weird. When I log in later today I will give you the bit of code so perhaps you could discuss this more specifically.
    Thanks once again.

    Hi, my website is lighthousepsych.com and I have chosen Sela theme. Yet, the header colour is too pinkish to me. May I ask how to change the header of the website through CSS coding? Your help is deeply appreciated.

    Hi Gary
    here is a code you should put to your child theme style.css file.

    .main-navigation {
background-color: red;
border-bottom: 2px solid blue;
}

or 

.main-navigation {
background-color: blue!important;
border-bottom: 2px solid red!important;
}

    Choose any color you want for background and border

    Hope this is you were looking for
    Cheers
