Changing header and sidebar width on Wordpress?

In addition to what Paul says, I would like to repeat my advice from my previous post:

  • Use some form of browser tools to find out what styles are being applied and where.
  • If this doesn’t work for you, please provide a concrete example of exactly which links you would like to change and on which page/site we can find them.

It was actually for FreshHoops.com. The style.css is empty…I’m now wondering if I have to upgrade to the pro version to make changes, but thanks, I’ll try your suggestions. I really just want to change the link colours.

Style.css isn’t empty in FreshHoops.com.

Here it is:

Ah! I went to the FTP and had a search around the files…seems the style.css for that theme is in a different place than normal/not accessible via Wordpress backend. Thank you! I should be OK from here :).

I’m back again -_- ha, it seems there’s a “strikethrough” on the element stopping the link colour coming through…if I inspect a linked element, the “color” has a strikethrough through it…if I tick the box next to it, it shows the colors. What’s restricting the colors being shown?

Hi there,

This happens when a more specific CSS style overrides a more generic one.
For example If you have this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <title>Specificity example</title>
    <style>
      a{color: green;}
      a.warning{color:yellow}
    </style>
  </head>
  
  <body>
    <a href ="">A Link</a>
    <a class="warning" href="">A second Link</a>
  </body>
</html>

This will output two <a> tags on a page.
The first will be green, but the second will be yellow (the reason being that we defined a warning class and applied it to our second link).
If you inspect the second link with a property inspector, then you will see:

a.warning {
color: yellow;
}

a {
color: green;
}

This is because for link two, the browser picks up on the first style.
Then the first style is immediately overridden by the second style.

Does that help?

Hi,

When I look at the page the color:#555 is being implemented from line 3 of black.css.

Note that you also have some styles in the head of the page in style tags so you need to watch out for those also but they don;t seem to be interfering with the main link colour that I can see.

Thank you for your reply.

Ah, so I need to basically get rid of the overriding style, which is the black?

Either get rid of it if you have access to the files or over-ride it with a more specific style somewhere else.

e.g.


body a{color:orange}/* set the color here */
