Thanks for responding. Would you be so kind as to assume I’m clueless and explain exactly how to do that? [I’m hosted on Godaddy]

This is all that appears on the page/there is no place to activate a k2-child theme that I can discern?

Thank you for creating with WordPress. | Documentation | Feedback

Thanks, I changed it, but I’m still stuck at the point where I click on Appearane/themes in wordpress. It says K2 is my theme as usual. Nothing says child nor indicates how to activate it. Any ideas as to what I’m still missing. Your last comment was spot-on. Thanks again fro taking the time to help me ??

Thanks 4 responding: new folder is k2-custom. It’s in wordpress/wp-content/themes/k2-custom. The screenshot is a png file not a jpg.

It seems Kosher to me?

Thanks, vtxyzzy! I did all the work up to this step [Activate your child theme via Appearance > Themes panel.], but got stuck. When I go to themes, nothing says “Child” and “k2-custom” or “k2-child” searches don’t make anything appear. Do you know what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!

Thank you, macmanx, it works great!

Thanks, Macmanx, but I tried that and it doesn’t work. That’s the color of my links on the sidebar. [My editor doesn’t show lines, of course] I’m just trying to change the link colors that apear on the posts. It’s a horrible red color.

Thanks, alchymyth,

My theme is K2. I’m trying to change the color of my post’s links.
When I look in index.php I see:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class=”content”>

<div id=”primary-wrapper”>
<div id=”primary”>
<div id=”notices”></div>

<?php /* K2 Hook */ do_action(‘template_primary_begin’); ?>

<?php if ( ‘1’ == get_option(‘k2rollingarchives’) ): ?>
<div id=”dynamic-content”>

If there was a color code I would know what to do. But this is all I see. In single.php it’s the same.

Any suggestion as to what to specifically change? Thanks!

Oh, I solved it. It was the positioning of the next photo in terms of alighment ??

.postContent a {
color: #whatever color you want;
text-decoration: none;
}

.postContent a:hover {
color: #whatever color you want;
text-decoration: underline;
}

This didn’t work when I tried it ??
