I would like to either change the background color of the green Promotion Button to black with white font or, even better, replace the button with a picture file of a button designed by me to match those seen in my secondary menu. Please advise if there is code that will do this for me easily. My website is http://www.newsforcatholics.info

@scoop: For changing the background color, go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Additional CSS box and add the following CSS:

#homepage-message .right-section a, #homepage-message .right-section a:hover {
    background-color: #000;
}

For custom button replacement, I recommend you to hire a customizer.

Mahesh

Thank you Mahesh, that worked fine and I was able to make the changes.

My other problem is with the floating primary-menu colors for the site. I would like to change the background to black and the menu text to white. All that I find which worked in other Catch themes did not work in Adventurous for some reason. Something seems to block me from changing the text color and the hover colors for that.

[Mahesh]

@scoop: Color options is available in Adventurous Pro version. I recommend you to upgrade to Pro and use your desired color in navigation.

Mahesh

Thanks, Mahesh. If I do that will I lose the modifications that I have made to the design already in CSS?

[Mahesh]

@scoop: After upgrading, you’ll need to copy all you CSS from Free theme’s Additional CSS to Pro theme’s Additional CSS.

Thanks again Mahesh. One last question. Is there a way to change colors for the Site Title and Tag line. I do not see a way to do it through customize screen, so is there a way through CSS?

[Scoop]

Mahesh, I made the change to Adventurous Pro and did the changes to the floating primary menu. Everything looks great and works great in the Customizer Mode. When I go to the site, however, none of the links work. If you click on a link, you will not get a page of the site shown. All you get is one post which floats as though it is the website on its on; no sidebar, no heading, no floating menu etc. its as if I am looking at a pdf attachment from an email. Any ideas?

[Mahesh]

@scoop: In which page this problem is occurring? Could you please post in the link.

Regards,
Mahesh

Mahesh, It happens almost for every link to a post. I also cannot edit the posts to see if something changed there as it pulls up the same screen image of the post. After checking this on another computer I found that it worked fine on my desktop (Mac) but on my (MacBook Pro) is where all the problems take place. That leads me to believe that in the install something corrupted this particular laptop . . . my iPhone looks OK as well.

I don’t know who else to get help with this since it does not seem to be the theme itself but something that corrupted Safari or something else in the operation of this computer. It worked fine until after Installed the new software and copied the additional CSS as you suggested. I looked good and worked fine in the live customize mode. But when I saved and returned to the actual theme I discovered that these problems were everywhere.

Sadly, I am unable to get the desktop to pull up the admin bar so that I can edit and add new posts etc. . . another mystery to me. So I am stuck with this machine that will not allow me to properly edit. I tried to go back to the free version and that did not work either so I went back to the Pro version.

I may need to hire someone that can trouble shoot my MacBook pro as I have tried everything I know . . . purging caches and optimizing the directories etc. I’ve never seen anything like it before. It has me baffled.

@scoop: Please check the image in the link below:

This is how its showing on my end.
I guess the problem is with your machine only. Please try checking it on other machine. Let me know if any problem.

Mahesh

Yes, that is what the site should look like, Mahesh. What I get is a white page with the About information (no theme colors, sidebars or navigation. The other machine reproduces the site the way it is supposed to . . . it is on my MacBook Pro only that the problem occurs. Funny thing is that it rendered the site perfectly before the installation and then began this odd behavior. I think some of the settings in the machine were changed as well for some unknown reason – – – probably because I cleared the cache and the history etc. trying to fix the problem. Thanks for your help anyway but if you can’t see the problem on your end it is obviously a problem with this computer.

Mahesh, I just wanted to let you know that somehow the “reader” had been activated form my site and when I removed my site from that option all my problems went away.

While I have your attention, if you don’t mind, I have another question for you. I would like to turn the background behind my site title white (which it is already) but I want the body of the content to have a black background to highlight the divisions and separate the content (plus it fits with my header etc. Is there a way to separate the colors between the background of the Site Title (in my case a transparent picture) and the background of the site pages? If so I would be interested in getting the CSS that will allow me to do this.

Thanks again for all your help.

[Mahesh]

@scoop: Add the following CSS:

#main {
    background-color: #000;
}

Regards,
Mahesh

You’re the best, that worked great. I have also noticed that the sub-headline text in the promotion area is no longer working. I had some CSS for the color of the sub-heading (white) and now that no longer works. I have tried the other CSS codes I found in the forum and none of them have worked so far. Got a suggestion?
