Hi wpfan 1000. I did mention I was using a child theme – right at the very top of my post next to “theme:”. 🙂

I also specified the links I wanted changed: ” I only want to change the color of hyperlinks text within a page, without automatically also changing the color of the header text or page title.” I’m not sure how I could have been clearer, but am often lacking knowledge of terminology. Maybe you could tell me how I should have expressed myself, for future reference. I do often fear I am not being clear.

Yes, I know about Firebug, but thanks. I use it, but need to do some tutes on getting the most out of it.

You code didn’t affect the hyperlink colors on any part of my site. I’m not sure why. As mentioned, coding suggestions from others re changing hyperlink colors didn’t work, either. Anyway, no problem – got it sorted now. But thanks for making the effort to respond.

Cheers

Hi Michael,

The appearance of the footer widgets is now exactly as I wanted, thanks – when the site is at full size. As you suspected, at reduced size, there are some issues:

1. The players don’t reduce in size.
2. The players move one under the other, which of course is fine, but stay centered instead of moving to the left like the text and images on rest of the page above.
3. There is not enough gap between the bottom of the top player and the ‘Download Orphans album’ text referring to the bottom player.

4. Aside from whether the site is at full size or reduced, the footer widgets still appear on all pages, including the ‘Default Template’ pages – I would like to ensure they do not display on these pages.

Amazing support from you. Thanks yet again.

Cheers
Ross

Michael, did you mean the ‘h2’ in the first line of the code above to be ‘h3’? I assume so, since when it is h2 there is no change to the text font, but when I change to h3, the text font changes to be identical to the standard widget font, as was the aim.

Anyway, I followed your directions and put the above code into my stylesheet with h2 changed to h3, but there are some problems as follows:

1. The Bandcamp players now appear in the footer area left aligned, one under the other, rather than side by side as before.

2. They now appear at the foot of all pages, including the default template pages – I had them not displaying there, intentionally.

3. The font of the text above the players is now identical to the original widget font (yay!), but the text is centred in the middle of the page (and thus stuck out on its own), not centred relative to the players.

If you’re fine with modding things to address 1-3 above, most appreciative! In the meantime, I’ve changed back to what I had before, so you can see the intended display (except that if I had my druthers, the text – ‘Download Geeks Album’ and ‘Download Orphans album’ – should be centred over the embedded Bandcamp players, not left-aligned).

Cheers!

Ha! Figured it out by trial and error, after scrutinizing the Twenty Twelve parent stylesheet.

For the information of others who might happen upon this thread, the following code worked for me in changing the color of hyperlinks within the page content area only (ie: the code has no effect on widgets, header or title text).

.entry-content a:visited,
.comment-content a:visited {
	color: #21759b;
}

.entry-content a:hover,
.comment-content a:hover {
	color: #ff9933;
}

Note: I placed the code above all media queries in my stylesheet. It tests fine with site reduced to about cellphone size.

Cheers all
Ross

Actually, it occurs to me that I should post that last link colour query separately, so that anyone else with the same problem can more easily find it. So, will do.

Hi Michael,

Taken me a while to squeeze in the time to try out your code, but have now done so.

I then dragged a Text widget over under Custom Footer Widget 1, and copied the html from those currently in the First Front Page Widget Area. Then, switched ‘The Geeks Story’ page to the “Full Width, No Sidebar” template.

On bringing up the site, the footer images did appear at the bottom of ‘The Geeks Story’, but unfortunately also appeared on all other pages as well, regardless of which template they were using. Where there were no footer images displayed, as on the home page (which uses the ‘Default’ template), the footer images appeared. On pages using the Front Page Template, which already display the footer images, these images were duplicated directly underneath.

So, I guess some sort of mod has to be made to the code to ensure the footer images appear only on pages using the “Full Width, No Sidebar” template? Or perhaps I shouldn’t have placed the images under the Custom Footer Widget 1?

NB: I’ve now deleted the Text widget from Custom Footer Widget 1, and re-selected the “Full Width, No Sidebar” template for ‘The Geeks Story’.

Cheers
Ross

Michael, the email notifications didn’t work – I have only just seen your responses above! Just logged into Support to ask another question…

Thanks a lot for the above. I’ll try out your recommendations and report back with the results.

SORRY I didn’t acknowledge your responses before now. I assumed you’d gotten sick of my questions – and I wouldn’t have blamed you!

Cheers!
Ross

Correct re your opening sentence, Michael.

No rush, Michael. Whenever you have time is time enough. Only when/if convenient, OK?

Cheers!
Ross
