changing link colors in posts & widgets

posts – the red links:
the link color, in pansy.css (quite at the beginning)

a {
	color: #e86100;
}

generally, the hover states, in style.css:

a {
	text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
	text-decoration: underline;
}

and just in case, in pansy.css:

.post-title a {
	color: #730039;
}

.post-title a:hover {
	color: #15302e;
}

sidebar: (for instance the ‘dating’ link under categories; and almost all other links)
in pansy.css:

#sidebar ul li a,#home ul li a {
	color: #474747;
}

#sidebar ul li a:hover,#home ul li a:hover {
	color: #15302e;
}

sidebar, deeper nested list: (for instance the ‘communication’ link under ‘dating’ under categories)
in pansy.css:

#sidebar ul li ul li ul li a,#home ul li ul li ul li a {
	color: #474747;
}

btw: links have the letter ‘a’ in style sheets, and there is a limited amount of them; not easy to miss.

Just I would recommend:

Save your modified file on a folder outside the theme’s folder with a new name like ‘dating.css’. This will prevent to lose your changes when upgrading the theme.

Create a file named ‘alkivia.ini’ in your wp-content folder and write this on it:

[chameleon]
custom-palettes-dir = /home/user/http/palettes
custom-palettes-url = http://sample.com/palettes

Of course, the directory and URL will depend on where you set the custom palettes folder 🙂

After doing that, go to theme options and select the new ‘dating’ palette.
