Hi,
I am trying to customise a WordPress template (Blocked-10 by The Undersigned - http://themes.wordpress.net/download.php?theme=393.)
By default the template has a green background for any blog entries made. I changed the background to white. The problem I now have is that the post information, ie. author, date/time, etc is no longer visible because this text is also in white by default. I am now trying to change the post info to the colour of my choice which is proving quite a challenge for a php novice.
By "post info" I mean the line of code Filed by <?php the_author(); ?> at <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> under <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php comments_number('No comments', '1 comment'...
The code to show the post info is located in the file "category.php" and is as follows:
<div class="post">
<h2>
<?php the_date(); ?>
</h2>
<h3>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</h3>
<div class="thecontent">
<?php the_content(''); ?>
</div>
<div class="postinfo">
Filed by <?php the_author(); ?> at <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> under <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php comments_number('No comments', '1 comment', '% comments'); ?></a>
</div>
</div>
In the stylesheet "style.css" the class "post" and "postinfo" are as follows:
.post {
margin:40px 30px 0 40px;
}
.post .postinfo {
position:relative;
font-style:italic;
font-size:10px;
}
I have found that <?php the_category(', ') ?> and <?php comments_number('No comments', '1 comment', '% comments'); ?> in the category.php file are affected by the following code in the stylesheet:
a:link, a:visited {
color:#FFFFFF;
}
But there are many more hyperlinks in my blog such as the menu items, so I don't want to change every hyperlinks colour only that of the post info.
So how do I force the colour for the post info in the category.php file?
Should I do it through the stylesheet and if so what would the code be in category.php, or should I place code directly into the category.php file and if so what would this code be?
Thanks in advance
