Why is the button blue?

  • This button is in blue. In the style I have set it to black. When I edit the page it shows a black button. Not WYSIWYG! How come?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • As far as I can see, you are using the Jetpack Boost plugin. This apparently saves the style that is responsible for the button twice in a cache. Unfortunately, I can’t see exactly where the code comes from. So my advice would be to clear any cache first – if that doesn’t help, deactivate the cache and see if it works then.

    Disabled the plugin for Jetpack Boost and WP Super Cache. Tried to add new pages with for example a contact form. All showing with blue buttons while I have changed it to black in the Style Book.

    Now you have deactivated Jetpack, but WP Optimize is still active. You also mention WP Supercache – how many optimization plugins do you have active in total? In general, I would recommend using only one for this, as they can get in each other’s way functionally. To see where your styles are coming from, you would actually have to deactivate all of them.

    Deactivated them all except for Jetpack. But that form of Jetpack still looked blue. Same as when I activated Mailchimp. That form has a button which is also blue instead of black.

    I will change it back to blue, because tweaking the colors is definitely broken in WordPress at the moment.

    I have chosen different theme. Kinda weird that WordPress is not WYSIWYG at all. What you see when editing a page should be 100% the same as on the front end.

    The theme you have chosenis responsible for the output in the frontend. The same applies to any caching and optimization plugins you have selected. The WordPress core only has an influence here if you use a modern block theme, which you have now switched to with TwentyTwentyFive. And as you can see, it works.

    You are welcome to set the topic to solved when your issue has been resolved.

    Thanks for your help and time! I thought that Elma was a WordPress developer, hoping this was good. But I guess the core WordPress theme is better. Although I have had much trouble customizing the previous core theme one with same issues, fonts showing differently between front and back end. But anyone, we’ll see…
