Hello,
I am new to using WordPress, and would need help with customized CSS. I want to change font colour in side bar, from black (which is hardly visible) to red. Can anyone help with this please?
Many thanks in advance,
Anabel

Hi.

You could use this code for the navigation list (in your case just ‘content’):
```
#secondary #site-navigation a {
      color: red;
}
```
and then, for archives widget (title and links):
```
#secondary #widget-area .widget-title,
#secondary #widget-area a {
  color : red;
}
```
I hope this helps you.

Thanks very much for this! I`ll try them out.
As there are two codes, does that mean that I`ll have to add new codes for anything else I want to add on a side bar in red?

Hi!

No. With those two it should work. :)

Hi, both codes work, thanks! But anything new I write it still comes out in black.
Is there a way or setting to change the font colour in sidebar?

Hi Anabel

I see. I told you it should work for anything else in your sidebar, but I thought you meant in the same widgets you had. Sorry about that. You can add this code to solve the problem with “123” text:
```
.widget {
    color: red;
}
```
In fact, with each new widget type added you would possibly –but not probably- need to add a new css code. In that case, please, ask us :)
