like Tizz said, Having a generic image for your posts may be the best way

Another option is you can make a separate “featured” category and pick which posts you want to have showing in the slider… then set the slider category to “featured”

I had to just do this too because the theme does not yet allow you to pick a couple different categories, only one at a time.

although this does mess up my related posts plugin a little bit because now everything that is in the “featured” is considered related

you can pick which category you want to show in the slider. You can either set it to show “All Categories” or you can pick a specific one. To do this you go to your dashboard and click Appearance –> Leaf Options

then under slider category you can pick which category to show.

if you dont know what categories are… when creating a new post, on the right side of screen there is a category box. You can create a new category based on what your article is about.

hope this helps

oh the primary menu?

in Custom CSS try

.main-navigation ul {
	text-color:#00ff00;
}

replace the color with whatever color you want. That might work

awesome that worked perfectly thanks so much!

simple answer is that the color is whatever color you choose as the Theme Accent Color. You can change this by going to your dashboard and selecting Appearance –> Leaf Options

If you want it to be a different color than your Theme Accent Color than someone else will have to help you out there. Sorry I’m still a newbie!

i dont want to go through threads and copy and paste. but i think if you asked anyone the implications of the word “obvious”, they would tell you it means more than “yes”. if you meant yes, you would have said yes.

no hard feelings though my friend. just made an observation. I think at the time I was pretty frustrated with the limitations to my own personal css abilities as well, and maybe they came out on this forum. thanks for all your help in the past.

thanks for the response. i figured this was only way to go about it. i wish there was a way to add categories to a group of posts instead of going through them one by one for time saving purposes!

never mind it showed up after a about 20 minutes! thanks

i must add though too that you have been helful to me in the past. its just the vague comments and condescending tone on some posts are unnecessary. thanks

hey @tizz

most of your comments just really arent helpful dude. actually condescending. why do you come to a forum that is meant for helping people if your just going to be disrespectful and unhelpful. I’ve seen your comments throughout this SUPPORT forum and your helpfulness is few and far between.

most of us our very new to the whole website design arena and are learning as quickly as we can. If we were advanced we wouldnt be asking questions on a support forum. Think about that next time you post a snide remark.

@brad Davis. thank you very much for your help!

ok yes I see it: https://www.exposedtraveler.com/wp-content/themes/leaf/images/widget-divider.png

so i would have to change the actual image to change the color?

the message somehow disappeared by itself. thanks for the help

I figured it out! This changes all the header colors and styles but leaves the slider header color white.

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
	font-weight: bold;
        color: #C4302B;
	font-family: gungsughche;
}

.iview-caption h2 {
	color: #ffffff;
}

Hey Rod, when I add that css is tells me that “Heading h2 should not be qualified.” and “Heading h2 has already been defined.”, likely because of my first css?

That being said, it works perfectly! Do i need to be worried about anything? Thanks so much for your help.

so why is it recommended to create a child theme when you can just do styling through the custom css box?

When I change the header font color as shown in the code above it also changes the header in the slider box… is there a way to leave it white like the default?

thanks for the help guys
