Custom colour for "Powered by Smugmug..."

[Andrew Gould]

I found out how to do this in this thread
http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=123357

Allen says to paste this into the CSS box:
#cobrand_footer .nav {color: #E7E5D5;}

I have tried a few times, using the colour I've set in the Easy Customizer for my navbar and custom footer. That's #2437DF. I also tried using an exact copy and paste of the text provided by Allen, but still no change. The line "Powered by Smugmug..." remains white.

Can anyone help with this?
Thanks.

First, fix your footer, you hav an open div tag....

Change your custom footer box to this:



<div id="customFooter">All images and original text copyright © Andrew Gould. All rights reserved.</div>





Then, if I try this code, it changes the color in the SM footer:



#cobrand_footer .nav
{color: red !important;}




Check your color #, it may be wrong...

Thanks for the reply.

I fixed the open tag.

I followed your instructions but ended up with "All images and original text..." twice below the photo on my home page. Was I supposed to remove it from the custom footer I'd set up with the Easy Customizer? I tried it by copying the exact code you've provided me, but "Powered by Smugmug..." remains white.

By the way, I've just checked the colour from the colour chart as I have it set for the navbar and the custom footer in the Easy Customizer, and it's definitely # 2437DF.

I'm aiming to go for either that or to turn the white to a softer off white shade for the "Powered by Smugmug...".

I wonder if I'm still doing something wrong, but I just can't see it.

I would really appreciate more help with this.
Thanks.

Add this to the bottom of your CSS box and see what happens:


#cobrand_footer .nav
{color: blue !important;}

Just add the !important to your rule, and it works, the white text turns to your off white text (#E7E5D5), just really hard to see the difference between the two :D



#cobrand_footer .nav {color: #E7E5D5 !important ;}

#cobrand_footer .nav {color: #E7E5D5 !important ;}
It's worked, and now I have all text at the bottom of the page in that same blue, which I really like.

A huge thank you to you and all the others who've helped me out in this forum. This has all been small stuff for those of you with experience and knowledge, but when you don't know, it's enormously frustrating.

I now just have a couple more problems to fix and then my site will be perfect, as far as I'm concerned.
