changing color of widget buttons

Can you be more specific about which buttons you mean, and provide a link to your site? I’ve installed JetPack, turned on Custom Widgets, then added Gravatar, RSS, Readmill, Facebook, and Twitter, but don’t see any buttons. A few have links, but those are either controlled by Styles, or are set up in the Twitter Widget settings, or are controlled by Facebook.

I can’t really get more specific, because it’s been two weeks since I first posted this, and I ditched the widget with the button in question not long after that when I didn’t get a response here because I didn’t want a bright orange button on my website.

All I can tell you is that whenever I try to put something into a widget that has a button, the button is bright orange. And I’ve got the Styles plug-in installed, and I can’t find a place anywhere to change the color of a widget button.

My site is https://mmjustus.com, but since the button is no longer on the site, and I can’t remember the widget I wanted to use off the top of my head two weeks after the fact, that’s not going to help either of us much.

I’d still like to know where in Styles I can change widget button colors, though, just for future reference [wry g].

Thanks.

There isn’t anything in Styles now for Buttons, since it’s not something built into any of the themes.

There are lots of different ways a plugin could create a “button” (for example, using an actual HTML <button>, styling a link, or styling any other HTML element), so to add it, I would need to see the specific implementation.

I apologize for having taken so long to see this thread. I only came across it through a Google search engine alert. For future requests, anything posted to the Styles support forum on www.ads-software.com goes straight to my e-mail and sends me an instant message.

Like I said before, I can’t give you the specific implementation. I wish I could.

So I guess that one’s never going to be solved.

I was told originally (when I posted this somewhere else — no, I don’t remember that, either) to post this to the forum of the theme I’m using. I have to admit to a bit of frustration about this, because this (being told to post a question to a specific place, then after I post it being told that I should have posted it somewhere else) isn’t the first time this has happened [sigh].

The Twenty Thirteen theme’s button color is set in this CSS:

button:active,
input[type="submit"]:active,
input[type="button"]:active,
input[type="reset"]:active {
	background: #d94412; /* Old browsers */
	background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #d94412 0%, #e05d22 100%); /* Chrome 10+, Safari 5.1+ */
	background:   linear-gradient(to bottom, #d94412 0%, #e05d22 100%); /* W3C */
	border: none;
	border-top: 3px solid #b93207;
	padding: 10px 24px 11px;
}

BUT, you should not modify any theme files directly so you would need to COPYT/ADD the above CSS to a custom CSS plugin and change it there.

As to the location of posting threads – yes, it’s a bit confusing at first. If it’s a plugin question, it needs to be posted to the plugin’s own sub-forum – you can get there by finding the plugin here:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/

Then go to the plugin’s own page and click on the support tab, and scroll down to make a new post on that sub-forum.

BTW, adding brackets to your post (as you did here) does not put it on a sub-forum – i.e. this post is not on the Twenty Thirteen forum either. When you post on a sub-forum those brackets are added automatically.

Thanks, but that’s beyond me, so I’ll just let it go.

BTW, I didn’t add any brackets to that post. I have no idea how they got there.
