LOL... I just found the blogging section of DP by chance, a question

Hey folks, I only just realised that DP had a blogging forum, I wish I would have found it weeks ago..

anyhow, great to be here, a question if I may..

I have my post links down the right hand sidebar of my Wordpress blog, but the links are grey when static, and then go red when you hover them...

Where in my stylesheet can I change the color of the links...I can't seem to find the right bit to change for the color??..

I also want to change the text size and font if anyone knows how I would greatly appreciate your guidance..

how about posting the link of your blog please

 

Simply do a ctrl+F on the stylesheet for 'hover' and then change the colors of the hover section to what you want. if you are not using any cache plugin then the changes will appear instantly.

 

I'd rather not... I'm only building it up at the moment and don't really want to publicise it....it's not that good, but I am putting posts together little by little

the theme is Daily 32 if that helps?

whats a ctrl+f on the stylesheet?

Apologies for my ignorance here.. this is my first self hosted WP... before I always used free versions

posting the link of your blog please ok i m interested

 

ctrl+f is a keyboard shortcut which simply pulls up the search box.. same thing as going to Edit> Find in this Page..

He means just search the css file for the word "hover" and change your color and font type and size settings there..

It will look something like this:


a hover {
color: #FFFFFF;
font: Verdana;
}

You will also want to change the setting in the a link section too so it matches the a hover..


Section looks like and is right above the a hover:

a {
color: #FFFFFF;
font: Verdana;
}

This I understand... but... all the different sections have different color links, I am looking to change only the color of the links in my sidebar collection.. I can't seem to find this anywhere in my css...I can change all other link color's but this one i'm stuck with

Okay just look in the css for the sidebar section and look for or add an a link and an a hover rule for the sidebar its self..


Looks something like this on one of my sites:


#sidebar ul li a {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
}

#sidebar ul li a:hover {
background: #EFEFEF;
color: #910156;
}


If you do not have the a and hover yet declared for sidebar section? Just make your own a and hover some thing like this but with your own attributes:


#sidebar a {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
}

#sidebar a:hover {
background: #EFEFEF;
color: #910156;
}

Go to the part of your CSS where your sidebars are defined. Then, insert the code:

I think that might make it sidebar specific.

 

try this

#sidebar a
{
color: ;
font-size: ;

}
#sidebar a:hover
{
color: ;
}

 

you guys rock.... found it, altered it... all is good in blog heaven..lol

Thanks people

McrTech

 

Yep.. glad you got it sorted..

You can also give a link a class... Like lets say you wanted just only one link on a web page to have its own colors.. Just would go something like this:

<a class="funkylink" href="linktosite.here" target="_blank">See Site</a>


In the css would go:

.funkylink a {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;

}

.funkylink a:hover {
background: #EFEFEF;
color: #910156;
text-decoration: underline;
}


Have fun and enjoy your new blog.
