    Hi there, please help me with the following!

    I would like to know how can I change the color of the text on the widgets at the sidebar (Not the title of the widgets but the content).

    For example:

    1.I have on the sidebar the “Top Posts & Pages” widget, I want the color of the pages named on the widget to be displayed on a different color.

    2. I have the “Follow Blog” widget, I want the message that display along side with the button to be a different color. (Optional text to display to logged in WordPress.com users, Optional text to display to non-WordPress.com users, Widget title for followers)

    3. I have the “Twitter Updates” widget, I want the text of the Twitt to be on a different color (I mean the actual message that has been tweeted, ex, in my site is “Testing testing”)

    4. And lastly I would like to know if it is possible to limit the number of categories displayed on the “Categories” widget, lets say not having 15 categories displayed but only 8

    In advance thank you for your help!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    1. There aren’t separate selectors for pages and posts in the top page and post widget. You can change the text color for all of them, but not just pages or posts.

    2. Add to your custom CSS and edit the color code as desired:

    .widget_blog_subscription p {
color: #CC0000;
}

    3. Twitter widget title:

    .widget_twitter h2 a {
    color: #00cc00 !important;
}

    4. There is no way to limit the number of categories that show in the categories widget.

    Thanks for you super quick answer!

    1. Your right I mistyped on that, what I want is to change the color of the pages and posts displayed on the “Top Posts & Pages” widget, can you please tell me how to do it?

    2. Worked perfect Thanks!

    3. I want to change the color of the text of the twit, I mean whatever text I have tweeted, not the tittle of this widget.

    Thanks for your help!

    You can change them all, but not individually with this:

    .widget_top-posts a {
color: #cc6600 !important;
}

    On the tweets, this would change all the text (non-link and link)

    .tweets li, .tweets li a {
    color: #cc6600 !important;
}

    If you just want to change the color of the link text (the tweet link) add this instead

    .tweets li a {
    color: #cc6600 !important;
}

    Hi, I just found this discussion. I would like to do the same for my Twitter widget. Do I need to buy the customization package to do this?
    Thx!

    Yes, it requires the custom design upgrade which is also a part of the Pro Bundle. Did you purchase the Pro Bundle here?

    Since you are using a different theme, could you start a new thread on this issue in the CSS forum?
