How do I change the color for the slider from the default blue?

[Sakin]

@Albert: Can you post in your site URL? Are you trying to change the background color and border color of slider? Then you can change the color code in the following css and add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#main-slider {
    background-color: #21759b;
    border-bottom: 2px solid #1b5f7d;
}

I changed the colors for my Kathmandu Pro theme using the Color Options menu to change Menu and Site Colors. The colors didn’t update so I went into the style sheets and manually changed the code for the colors. I didn’t create a child theme. Last week I installed the update and, although all of the settings remained in the Color Options section, the colors reverted back to the default blue. Why aren’t the Color Option settings working and how can I fix this quickly. It was very time consuming the last time I make the changes. I started making a child theme but don’t quite understand what I’m doing. The url to my site is http://www.lehighvalleygenealogy.com

Thanks.

@Laurie: Color option should work fine. I just tested in our test server and it’s working fine. You just need to go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Color Options => Menu Color Options” and save changes. This should work fine.

About changing the style.css directly. This is totally wrong way to customize the theme. You should not edit or add any files inside catch-kathmandu-pro directory. As the edits made here will be reverted back to original when you update the theme. So, all the edits should be done through Theme Options panel and WordPress settings. If this is not enough then you need to build child theme and do the edit.

I couldn’t view your site source as you have blocked. So, I am not able to check in detail why it is not working. I will email you personally and you can reply me there.

Hi Sakin,
I need to change the color of the default blue under the slider. I tried the code below that I saw you gave to someone else – but it doesn’t work for me. Thanks for your help!!

code: #main-slider {
background-color: #21759b;
border-bottom: 2px solid #1b5f7d;
}

Hi Dona,

You need to change the color code in that CSS and then add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box. Send me your site URL then I will check in what you have added in.

Regards,
Sakin

Hi Sakin,
Thanks for your response. Yes I tried it already in the custom CSS box with this code but it didnt work.:
code: #main-slider {
background-color: #53662F;
border-bottom: 2px solid #53662F;
}

Here is the URL (http://23.235.209.203/~globa347/theindiefest.com/)

I used this on another site and it worked but it is not working this time. Thanks for your help!

Hi Sakin… I don’t want to be a bother – but I need to go live with this site by the end of the week – and I have to change the color. Please help. Thank you so much!

Hi Dona,

I just check in your site and see that you have already changed the slider background and border bottom color.

I think you are talking about changing the background color of Homepage headline below your slider then you can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Color Options => Site Color Options” and then change “Homepage Headline Background Color” and “Homepage Headline Color” as per your need to change the background and text color.

And then to change color of border bottom on homepage headline, you can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

#homepage-message {
    border-color: #53662f;
}

Regards,
Sakin
