Hello,

I am currently completely redoing my website. I would like to change the color of the links in the texts of my pages as well as those in the text widgets in my main sidebar from blue to some kind of darker red like ‘#990000’. I could not figure out the exact CSS code to do that.

The other issue I have is that I would like to get rid of the gray border around the text widgets in my main sidebar. I would simply prefer the text widgets to be without borders at all.

I have created several pages–most of them do not appear in the main menu. No matter, whether they actually appear in the main top menu or not, I would like to remove the page titles above the pages. To have the parent and child page in small print already is enough. I might even eventually remove those as well.

The page is currently password protected, since I am working on it.

If someone could help and let me know the CSS I would have to enter in my customizer, that would be really fantastic and very much appreciated!!

Best wishes,
Ansgar

Hi, there,

I would like to change the color of the links in the texts of my pages as well as those in the text widgets in my main sidebar from blue to some kind of darker red like ‘#990000’.

The following will change, I believe, all links, including post titles on blog, category, tag and archives pages to #990000
```
a {
    color: #990000;
}
```
The other issue I have is that I would like to get rid of the gray border around the text widgets in my main sidebar. I would simply prefer the text widgets to be without borders at all.

This will get rid of the background color and the border on widgets.
```
.widget-wrapper {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    border: none;
}
```
…I would like to remove the page titles above the pages.

This will remove the titles on static pages.
```
.page .post-title {
    display: none;
}
```

Three more questions:

I am using the responsive theme. Its default menu bar color is black. How do I change its color to say grey? How would I change the menu link color from white to red like my other links?

How would I reduce the font size of my header (tao moves)?

Best wishes and many thanks in advance!

Super, glad that worked. On the menu, they are using a linear gradient with a backup of a single color (the first declaration). The backup background color is for browsers that do not support linear gradients. If you want just a solid color, you can set background image to none (second declaration) and then edit the background color as desired.
```
.menu {
    background-color: #585858;
    background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(center top , #585858, #3d3d3d);
}
```
For the font color in the menu, add this and adjust.
```
.menu a {
    color: #ffffff;
}
```
To reduce the font size on the site title, add the following and adjust.
```
.site-name {
    font-size: 2.063em;
}
```

Worked very well!!! Absolutely great!!! Thank you very much Sacred Path!!!

While working on the website a few more questions have already been coming up, but I first close this thread and start with new headings, in order to make it easier for others to find the answers to the questions I had.

Thanks a lot again!!!!

Hi @avscott, it looks like you are using WordPress but you are not hosted here at WordPress.com. For self-hosted WordPress sites such as yours, I would suggest asking for help from the theme author directly or ask in the volunteer-based WordPress.org Themes and Templates forum.

For general questions on self-hosted WordPress.org installations, visit http://wordpress.org/support/.
