  I created a website/blog in Sela theme. See nikkidawn2.wordpress.com. I changed the default color of the navigation tabs to turquoise from vomit pink.

  Website is already hosted by bluehost, so I loaded wordpress into bluehost, then downloaded and uploaded my data, then added Sela again. Now, in bluehost, the default color (barfy pink) cannot be changed back to the turquoise. See http://www.goal-tender.com.

  My question: Bluehost/wordpress does not offer the option of changing the default color of the navigation bar. How can I do it?

  This is very important to me (but will not actually lead to world peace) and I’d appreciate an answer, sometime soon!

  Thank you,
  Nikki

  Hi Nikki,

  WordPress.com offers some customization tools that aren’t built in to the self-hosted version of WordPress from WordPress.org. However, there are other ways you can make changes like that to your self-hosted site.

  For example, you can use a CSS plugin (like the Custom CSS module in Jetpack) to make CSS tweaks to a theme’s design there. For example, you can use CSS like this to change the navigation color:

  .main-navigation, button {
    background-color: #74ccd1;
  }

  You may also need to make some other tweaks to the theme’s CSS to get just the color scheme you’re looking for. If you get stuck, you can get more help with the self-hosted version of the Sela theme in the WordPress.org forums here:

  https://wordpress.org/support/theme/sela

  Since the self-hosted version of the theme and your options for editing it are a bit different on that site, I’d recommend posting in that forum for additional help specific to that site. If you don’t already have a login for the WordPress.org forums, you’ll need to register for a WordPress.org login there.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
