Mint Tree,

Hi. As I continue learning how to tweak the theme, I find I need to know how to change the color of the tags that show at the bottom of a post. Right now, the tags have the same color of hyperlinks in the body of the text in the main box. Is there any way to change just the color of the tags? What CSS code would I have to put in Other Settings?

Thank you--looking forward to your reply,

Evan

Mint Tree,

Hi. Thank you for your reply. For some reason the tags won't obey the code. I'm trying to change them to D2D2D2. The code I entered into Other Settings is this:

.tag a:link {color:#D2D2D2;}
.tag a:visited {color:#D2D2D2;}

I have also tried:

.tag a:link {color:D2D2D2;}
.tag a:visited {color:D2D2D2;}

and also:

.tag a:link {color:grey;}
.tag a:visited {color:grey;}

and:

.tag a:link {color:gray;}
.tag a:visited {color:gray;}

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks,

Evan

Hi Evan,

If you look at the HTML source code, it's <div class=”tag”>,

Mint Tree,

I've looked through the html source code and I don't have the code, <div class=”tag”>. I think that's probably causing the problem.

Where do I insert that piece of code so that it becomes part of the template? I've been looking through the files, but I don't know enough about the costruction of WP templates to see how to do it.

Thanks,

Evan

Mint Tree,

Hi. The code, <div class="tag"> is simply not there, and the tags do respond to any change of CSS in the Other Settings. The tags are responding to the CSS for the link color defined by the main box: (.main-box a:link {color: #000080}).

I have this code for tags in Other Settings, but as I mentioned, the tags do not respond to this code:

.tag a:link {color:#D2D2D2;}
.tag a:visited {color:#D2D2D2;}

I don't know what version of BWT I'm using. It may be an earlier version. You have never sent me a download link for 3.0. You did, however, send me some code several months ago to add to the template. I don't recall now what it was or where I put it.

If there is a later version of BWT, please send me a link for the update along with instruction on how to do the update.

In the meantime, I'd appreciate help with changing the color of the tags.
