In your Custom CSS section of the dashboard, or Child Theme stylesheet, add this;
/* Main text color */
body {
color: deepskyblue;
}
/* Post title color for home, archive and search page color */
.home .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.page-template-front .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.archive .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.search .hentry .entry-title a:hover {
color: deepskyblue;
}
/* Post title for other pages */
a, a:visited, .page-template-front .hfeed-more .hentry .entry-title a:hover, .entry-title a, .entry-title a:visited {
color: deepskyblue !important;
}
/* Hover title color */
.home .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.page-template-front .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.archive .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.search .hentry .entry-title a:hover {
color: deeppink;
border-color: deeppink;
}
I created a child theme. This is my style.css for it:
/*
Theme Name: Strangesquatch Theme
Theme URI: http://example.com/ /* optional */
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Twelve theme /* optional */
Author: Your name here /* optional */
Author URI: http://example.com/about/ /* optional */
Template: oxygen
Version: 0.1.0 /* optional */
*/
@import url("../oxygen/style.css");
/* Main text color */
body {
color: deepskyblue;
}
/* Post title color for home, archive and search page color */
.home .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.page-template-front .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.archive .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.search .hentry .entry-title a:hover {
color: deepskyblue;
}
/* Post title for other pages */
a, a:visited, .page-template-front .hfeed-more .hentry .entry-title a:hover, .entry-title a, .entry-title a:visited {
color: deepskyblue !important;
}
/* Hover title color */
.home .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.page-template-front .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.archive .hentry .entry-title a:hover,
.search .hentry .entry-title a:hover {
color: deeppink;
border-color: deeppink;
}
But when you go to http://strangesquatch.tk/blog/ there is no Oxygen theme, it doesn’t even look like there is a theme. Am I making a mistake?
I would try changing the top part to:
`
/*
Theme Name: Strangesquatch Theme
Template: oxygen
*/
I think those comments might be causing problems.
Thank you Andrew and WPyogi! It worked!
But I yet still have another few questions. When you go to http://strangesquatch.tk/blog/cryptobiology/2013/02/20/the-top-5-cryptids-of-north-america you can still tell that the post title text color is the same as it was–black.
Also, when I am using the menu bar in WordPress and I’ll hover over my blog name, all the options (“Dashboard,” “Themes,” “Customize,” etc.) are the color I chose for the text of my blog.
Lastly and sorry, when I hover over the featured image of a blog post on the homepage, it says “Read Article” but it’s blue.
Thank you!
