• Hi guys,

    I’m trying to edit colors using the my custom css plugin.
    As I’m new to this something has went wrong.

    my website is http://www.simplesimons.ie

    you can now see the yellowish colour which shouldn’t be like that. I’ve tried to change it using the my custom css plugin and also by copying and pasting an older working style.css file but it hasn’t fixed it.

    Is there a way I can find my custom css edits and undo them?

    Thanks guys 🙂

    I’ve tried to change it using the my custom css plugin

    Can you post here the CSS you tried?

    Hi Andrew, thanks for the reply

    font-family: 'Actor', sans-serif;
        font-size:13px;
        color:#C300DD;
        background:url(images/bg.png) repeat;
        background-attachment:fixed;

    Andrew,

    editing that piece of code somehow changed the colour blue that you see at the top to the yellow you can see below it when it should’ve changed to a purple.

    It also removed the third footer widget to the right, why I don’t know.

    If you could help it would be great

    Try removing this:

    .signup{
    	background:#fadc57 url(images/taxicab-formbg.png) repeat-x;
    }

    in your Child Theme style.cs file

    I haven’t made a child theme because I’ve been using the custom css plugin to make edits

    What will this do?

    Thanks

    I tried it but it didn’t make a change.

    Very frustrating why the color won’t change with a simple edit… there must be something overriding it.

    And the third footer widget disappeared which is strange.

    Sorry I meant the Custom CSS plugin – not Child Theme style.css file.

    Can you clarify what you want changed on the website?

    brilliant the footer came back after I tried removing this

    .signup{
    	background:#fadc57 url(images/taxicab-formbg.png) repeat-x;
    }

    all I need now is to get the original color blue back in these 2 areas
    – The menu items such as Home, News and About us
    – The yellow body section

    Are you using a caching plugin? I still see that “.signup” style in your Custom CSS.

    Hi Andrew,

    I turned caching off to be able to see changes quicker while editing within the admin panel and then reloading the site.

    Can you double-check your Custom CSS to see whether you still have that signup style?

    Thread Starter geordiejack

    (@geordiejack)

    yeah the signup style is still there….

    hey mate could you figure out any way to change the color?

    I really appreciate your help by the way! 🙂

    Is that a different issue to the trouble you’re having with the yellow background?

    no mate, just need to be able to change that color somehow….
