In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterI made exactly and only the changes we’ve discussed here, following all the procedures and using all the code and instructions you’ve presented. Other changes I’d like to make and am not sure where or how to do them (CSS plugin modification or Child Theme style.css), is to delete the WordPress author/Theme line (not to discredit Caroline I love the Theme and have emailed her to tell her so) and also to delete the Meta and Login and Category etc. entries below the +/- and leave only the Search box. I don’t know how to do that. I don’t know whether I need to create a Child Theme style.css sheet or whether I can do it in the CSS Plugin code I already have. I’ve looked through other posts addressing that issue and the ones I’ve found and read all talk about creating Child Themes to do it. They don’t mention how to do it with the CSS Plugin.

In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterMaking a lot of progress here. A bit of confusion. When I installed the Custom CSS Manager Plug-In, is that the same thing as a Child, or more correctly I mean, does it have the same function as a Child, meaning it is implemented in priority overlay over the SPUN main theme? Do I need a Child to make sure the changes we’ve made stay in effect when/if the SPUN template is next updated? Or again is the Custom CSS Manager Plug-In sheet, a Child by another name? Please advise. Thanks again for your help. I do love this theme. Very special.

In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterYes sorry it took me a while to figure out how to do that.
It’s way simpler than I was making it.Let me know if this works.
I’d like the HOME to be the same type font as the rest of the page and also a tad bigger.
I can’t find the header [ opacity: 1; } to change it to #masterhead { opacity: 1; } But I remember seeing it somewhere.
Also below the +/-, I’d like to delete some of the things there that I’ll never need with this site. Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks in advance for your help.

In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterAndrew, my mistake, I’ve been reading more posts on SPUN and I realize I’ve been using Firefox which apparently has some WP display issues. The site looks great now on IE and also on my mobile device. Any way to get Firefox to display it correctly?

In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterThis is the code I have in the Custom CSS Manager Plugin Settings box. There is only one box that I see and there doesn’t seem to be a way to get to another box. I notice that in your snaggy, Settings is highlighted, on mine, Appearance is highlighted. The code I’ve copied below isn’t working to change the non-hovered-upon color or type font for the word HOME in the upper right of the template, nor for the +/= circle below the posts.
.main-navigation a,
.site-title a,
.site-description,
::-webkit-input-placeholder,
textarea,
a:hover,
a:focus,
a:active,
#colophon a:hover { color: #2a2b17; opacity: 1;}
div.wrap h2 {
font-family: “Abril Fatface”;
}
.main-navigation a {
/* http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html */
font-family: arial;
/* http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colornames.asp */
color: deeppink;
}
.sidebar-link { background: #333; }Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterWhere and how do I add the instructions? Do I type them into the code you already gave me? If so, where in that code? I found and read an article you wrote about how important it is to consider the sequencing of CSS instructions. So I am very confident that it matters a lot, where the instructions are put.

In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterWhen I load the web-site, I still can’t see the “HOME” in the upper right hand corner or the +/- circle below the area where posts are placed. How can I change the type font and color of the “HOME” in the upper right hand corner and the color of the +/- circle below the area where posts are placed, so that I can see them slightly at least, when the page loads, and BEFORE I hover over them? I did that for the Header … I can see the words in the Healer when I load the page. Then when I hover over the Header, it gets darker exactly the way I want it …but that seemed easy … anyway the Header looks the way I want the “HOME” and the +/- circle to look … slightly visible upon first loading the page. http://www.wellness4allbeings.com. BTW I’m REALLY good with holistic animal wellness in case you have a pet at home, I can “give back” to you for your help.

In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterHi, Andrew! Where I am now:
#1. Arranging for regular reliable backups has flown to the top of my priority list. I researched a lot of ways to backup the website. It seems the simplest for me is to use my Dropbox account and the PlugIn, WordPress Backup to Dropbox. So I installed that PlugIn and linked it to my Dropbox account. I have regularly scheduled backups now. I feel I can recover more easily from trouble I get myself into.
#2. I reinstalled and activated the Custom CSS Manager plugin. When I click on Appearance, the screen I get now, is a screen with a box into which I’ve put the code you supplied. I haven’t found the Screenshots portion of the CSS plugin, that you used when you sent me this link, http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/screenshots/, so I don’t know how to send you the screen shot of what I see. But what I see looks a lot like what is in the screenshot you sent me, except of course I put the code you gave me into the box.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterKromalnk, that’s the same thing that happened here. Maybe you’ve already done this, but if you haven’t, before you do anything else, be sure to follow all the instructions to completely back up your web-site and your WordPress files. I didn’t and it cost me a lot of hours and a lot of aggravation.

In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterGreat minds, Andrew! I realized after our last exchanges that through my own ignorance I completely destroyed the main navigational instructions for the entire web-site rendering it inaccessible to me or anyone else. I couldn’t get to the Dashboard at all. I contacted the hosting company (GoDaddy) and after going through a lot of reps who heard “WordPress” and told me they couldn’t help, I finally found someone who realized all I wanted was to be taught how to restore the site to it’s previous rendition before I installed the CSS plugin. I explained it was in the CSS plugin that I had made the change fatal to the site’s navigation. They kept refusing to help and I made a stink so I finally got to someone in “Advanced Technical Support” who understood what I was saying and asking for immediately and did it for me right away. He put the site back into the state it was in after I added the code in not only the wrong place but the worst possible place, but before I had clicked on update. So I was able to locate it and delete it. I’ve indeed learned a great deal in the past 24 hours. I’ve learned how to restore the site completely. I’ve learned exactly how and when GoDaddy backs up sites hosted with them. I’ve learned to ask for screen shots for what a successful result looks like. I’ve learned it makes a huge difference WHERE you put things in CSS. So yes, I’ll install it again. If you would be so kind, please send me the screen shot (again) of what the CSS Manager should look like AFTER it’s properly installed? Thanks for being there!

In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterSo sorry I don’t understand your last post. 🙁

In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterAlso can you tell me how I can change the order of the posts? I thought I could change the post dates in the permalinks and that would change the order the posts appear on the screen but it didn’t or maybe I did it wrong. Right now I seem to have two options, for posts to go by date in either ascending or descending order. But that’s not what I want, I want to change the positioning of what will ultimately be 15 posts on the Home page. I figure one way is to delete everything and enter them again in the order I want but yowzers I would much prefer finding another way. Also I want the 15 posts to always be on the home page (until I may choose to change them) so I presume I can choose to have the page be STATIC after I’ve finished building it, is that correct? Please advise.

In reply to: [Spun] Darkening Font Colors in SPUN Menus and FooterWell I figured after clicking Post to you on that last one that it had to go after the ?> so that’s where I put it, then Saved the Updates. And it seemed to work, except for the “HOME” in the upper right hand corner which remains barely visible. Suggestions?
