sidebar color

Hey there andreaguitar1,

How are you doing today?

Are you looking to change the background color of the sidebar or background color of the widgets in the sidebar as they are not in different color?

Also would you mind posting link to your site so I can take a look?

Cheers,
Bojan

Hi Bojan,

I think it’s the color of the “custom menu” widget which I’ve placed in the sidebar on the left. Could you perhaps show me the code for both the options, so I can try them out? You can check out a draft of a page here:

As a beginner I am noticing that this theme requires quite a bit of extra code if you’re not happy with the base layout/colors etc…

thanks
Andrea

Hey there Andrea,

Sometimes even with premium products you’ll still have to use some CSS in order to get it just the way you want and in most cases extra customization options are usually available in premium version of themes (not sure if it is included in this one since I’m not representing theme authors).

With that being said you can change the color of the widgets by adding the following CSS code to themes custom CSS tab which is located in Appearance -> Customize -> Theme Options -> Advanced -> Custom CSS:

.sidebar .widget {
  background-color: #f1f1e5;
}

Replace the color hex value with the color that you want. You can use sites similar to this one to get hex value for the color of your choice:

Hope this helps ??

Hi Bojan,

Thanks for taking the time to help!

You are right, but especially for a beginner the more options are built into the theme, the less time you waste searching forums trying to find code. It’s already a huge task trying to create good content ??

Hey again Andrea,

Glad I could help ??

I completely agree but you should also take into consideration that these themes are free to use and also these great developers devoted their time to create them so leaving some option for premium version seems quite fair, at least for me.

There are also many awesome people on the forum that are willing to offer assistance on matter such as this one so you get your customization in the end.

Have a great day!

Cheers,
Bojan

Hi Bojan,
Totally fair. I’m actually amazed at how much is available for free, and I’m really grateful to the developers and everyone offering to help. I’ve just realized that it’s too difficult for me to get the result I’d like, so I have opted for a premium theme which hopefully will make life easier..(a different one, Wen themes doesn’t seem to have premium versions at the moment).
Thanks again for you help!
Andrea

Hey Andrea,

Glad I could help ?? Good luck with the new theme!

Cheers,
Bojan
