 * Hi [@evas9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evas9/) , I saw that you posted
   this question in another channel along with the helpful screengrab. I’ll share
   that here so others can check it out:
   [https://drive.google.com/file/d/11HULeN7MswhXgarISXrMqBZr9LJLdlB5/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11HULeN7MswhXgarISXrMqBZr9LJLdlB5/view?usp=sharing)
   It looks like your editor section is showing the content area without the left
   sidebar that would contain the listview and the right sidebar with the page and
   block settings. I thought of some possible causes:
    1. The default content width may be too narrow. Try widening it.
    2. Could there be a conflict between Elementor and the Full Site Editor?

 * If you are the site admin. and have access to the hosting account, you can change
   the email address in phpMyAdmin. Make a backup of the database before doing anything!
    - Log into the hosting account
    - Navigate to the cPanel (or equivalent)
    - Go to phpMyAdmin
    - Select the WordPress database of the website
    - Select the **wp_users** table
    - Next to your user name, select **Edit**
    - Replace the old email address with the new one
    - Click **Go** to apply the changes

 * Did you use the theme editor to change the button color?
   `Editor > Styles > Colors
   > Button`
 * It sounds like local style change is not working?
   A couple of possible solutions:(
   1) You could try getting even more specific by going here:`Editor > Styles > 
   Blocks > Buttons`(2) I don’t know the specifics of your theme, but I found the!
   important declaration assigned to the background color in this link class:
 * `.wp-block-button__link {
   box-shadow: #422800 4px 4px 0 0 !important;color: #
   FFFAFA !important;background-color: #DDAF9C !important;border: 2px solid #422800!
   important;border-radius: 30px !important;cursor: pointer !important;}You could
   try putting this code into the “Additional CSS” area. Change the colors to whatever
   you want.Editor > Styles > Additional CSS

 * Hi [@tunepark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tunepark/) – There are a number
   of possible causes. Are you using a managed hosting plan? If so, the host may
   sometimes limit the plugins you can install. Other clues are in this article:

 * Hi [@kaitlinkma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaitlinkma/) ,
   You’ve got
   the Hummingbird plugin installed. Somewhere in that plugin’s configuration settings,
   I found a hover style for the orange color and !important property. This is overriding
   your blue hover style. Here is the code I’m talking about:`nav.wp-block-navigation
   ul li a:hover { color: var(--wp--preset--color--secondary) !important;}Try adding
   your own custom CSS. Let us know what you do!

 * Hi there, 
   It sounds like your DNS settings are not configured correctly.
    1. Log into your GoDaddy account and check the DNS settings.
    2. Add the CNAME record “WWW” to your DNS settings.
    3. Configure the following fields:
 *  - Name – Name is the CNAME (WWW)
    - Type – Select CNAME
    - TTL – Time to Live is “14440″ by default (no need to change the default value)
    - Target – Target is the path to your website ([designerdrains.com](https://designerdrains.com/))

 * If Astra and/or Elementor don’t have the options to make these changes, you could
   do it with your own custom css. To modify anything, you can place the code inside
   the Customizer section:
   **Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS**.
 * **To eliminate the boxes in the main contain area**, I think you just need to
   get rid of the box shadow, like this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .elementor-165080 .elementor-element.elementor-element-b7165bc > .elementor-element-populated {
           box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
       }
       ```
   
 * **To eliminate the boxes in the sidebar**, try this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .elementor-165080 .elementor-element.elementor-element-5385ed1 > .elementor-element-populated {
           box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
       }
       ```
   
 * Use browser dev tools to identify the piece you want to change, find its selector
   and class, then modify. Place the CSS code inside the Customizer section.

 * Agree with [@nekojonez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nekojonez/) that 
   it depends on what changes you want to make. You’ve got 2 pieces of the puzzle
   to consider (Astra theme and Elementor builder). Use browser dev tools to identify
   the piece you want to change, find its selector and class, then modify. Place
   the CSS code inside the Customizer or Additional CSS (for block themes).
 * Two examples below are related to Elementor’s variable for background color.
 * For the **overall background** of the page, change the variable to a new color,
   like this:
 * `.elementor-165080 .elementor-element.elementor-element-ee0ab3f:not(.elementor-
   motion-effects-element-type-background), .elementor-165080 .elementor-element.
   elementor-element-ee0ab3f > .elementor-motion-effects-container > .elementor-
   motion-effects-layer {`
   `/* --- original background color used a variable ---*//*---
   background-color: var(--e-global-color-astglobalcolor5); --- */background-color:#
   8fa985;}
 * To change the **background for the main content area**:
   `.elementor-165080 .elementor-
   element.elementor-element-b7165bc:not(.elementor-motion-effects-element-type-
   background) > .elementor-widget-wrap, .elementor-165080 .elementor-element.elementor-
   element-b7165bc > .elementor-widget-wrap > .elementor-motion-effects-container
   > .elementor-motion-effects-layer {/* --- background-color: var(--e-global-color-
   astglobalcolor5); --- */background-color: #cadee5;}

    - are the images too large?

 * It sounds like this is a Classic theme, and not a Block theme? Another option
   would be for you to switch to a block theme, which enables you to make changes
   to any page layout using blocks. This article will help clarify the differences
   for you:

 * Hi there [@kwatson020785](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kwatson020785/),
   
   Chrome also has Dev Tools (like Firefox) to help you identify selectors and properties.
   Your .container class is 80% of the browser width:`.container {width: 80%;margin:
   0 auto;}
 * At the 990px breakpoint, that width changes to 748px:
   `.container {width: 748px;}
 * You can modify that in your style.css file, in the media queries area. Maybe 
   keep it at 80% or increase it to 90%. It’s up to you.
 * If you keep digging deeper, you’ll also find a .single_left class with a 520px
   width. You can also change this:
 * `@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 989px)
   .single_left{
   width: 520px;}
 * change to “auto” or “100%”
   `@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-
   width: 989px).single_left {width:auto;}
 * Good luck!

 * Sounds like a bug. Maybe you could create a test user with admin. privileges 
   and assign the content to that? Or elevate an existing editor’s privileges?

 * I just discovered one of the reasons why this may have happened.
   Siteground’s
   A-record changed. The client received a notice about it, but didn’t forward it
   to me! I updated the A-record at GoDaddy (Domain Name provider), and everything
   seems to work correctly now. I’ll continue to monitor the situation.

 * This started happening on a client site 1 week ago. In this case, the domain 
   name registrar (Go Daddy) is using the web host’s (Siteground) A-Record. Wordfence
   is identifying that A-Record as my IP (as well as anyone else trying to log in).
   
   It’s not exclusive to Wordfence either. I disabled Wordfence and installed All
   in One Security, which also identifies the A-Record as the current logged-in 
   user IP. AIOS is at least able to recognize my actual IP.
