Hello all,

(sorry if this is a duplicate, there was no search and I didn’t have the time to thumb through the forums)

I like Catch Box Pro, but there are a couple of things that I’d like to change:

1) The site-title link hover color doesn’t match the standard link hover color that you set in the theme options. I like having the link hover have a predictable response, I just feel like it makes more sense. This I fixed by adding


#site-title a:hover, #site-title a:focus, #site-title a:active {
color: rgb(129, 0, 33);
}


to the theme css (in the theme options) Is there a way to just have it inherit the custom color or do I have to reset the css if I change the link color in the future.

1) I’d like to have the site-title and site-description have different fonts. I have added


#site-description {
font-family: 'Droid Sans',sans-serif;
}


to the css and it wont change the font since some part of the theme is writing the custom font later in the inline css on the page. I am new at groking wordpress sites so I don’t know where I should edit the theme to get it to do what I’d like.

Thank you in advance for any help that you can give and I look forward to learning something new!

@mattematica: The Site link color are not control through Theme Options panel. It is controlled though WordPress Custom Header Function from “Appearance => Header”. But yes, if you want to add custom hover color then you have to add custom css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

To change Font Family only for Site Title and Description, you can change it from “Appearance => Theme Options => Font Family Options”, where you can just change “Site Title & Description Font Family”.

Also when you post your question, try to post in your site URL so that it will be easy for us to look that you are doing.

Thank you for your response! The website is http://www.withinepsilon.org/ and I use it as my teaching page.

Setting the link hover color doesn’t seem to appear in my Appearance=> Header. All I see is the setting for the header text color. It’s not a real problem because the CSS seems to work. I was just saying that it may make sense to have the header link hover color the same as the one set in the theme options as the default and have different colors be custom set by css. No problems though! 🙂

As for the fonts, I know how to change the site-title and the site-description font through the theme options. Id like to change the site-description (using the css id) font separately. (I like the title as a script and the description in sans-serif) Inserting custom css get’s overridden by the settings in theme options because whatever script that is generating the page is putting that css later than the custom css. One solution is to have the custom css be inserted after the css generated by the theme options, which I think is the default in the style.css.

I was just wondering if anyone has mucked in the source enough to know where to begin to make edits to the scripts that generate the css.

@mattematica: Ok thanks for your feedback, will add the site title hover color options.

Good Idea, will move the custom css to the last. But to make your css propriety just ad the parent.

#branding #site-title a {
    font-family: Lobster,sans-serif;
}
