Some cleanup questions I can't seem to solve

[TerryP]

I'm almost there. I have some nagging problems I can' t seem to solve. You all have been very kind to help quite a bit already. I'm using Web Developer but not sure what to look for because everything I try doesn't work.

Here's the list:

- box is grey. All others are correct.

Everything on this page is a sub-category even though some have only one gallery because sub-categories and galleries are separated on the page.

Regardless, if you open each one, two things happen that don't happen elsewhere...the nav is white, the sub-category title is white, and the caption under the thumb is grey with an underline. I would really like to understand why this is. Do I have some residual effect from a theme I once used or are using?:scratch

I'm getting so mixed up with CSS language and what to look for and how to make changes in my CSS that I'm a bit lost right now.

Thanks everyone.

#subcategoriesBox {background: transparent;}

You need to add:

a.nav {color: #000000;}

to your style sheet. Be sure to change the black to whatever color you're looking for.

The subcategories command worked great. Thanks. However, the "a .nav" did not work. Can you please look at this gallery? They are all still like this with grey underlined font and white gallery title. I tried this to change the white to my blue: #galleryTitle {color; #1C02E3}

I appreciate the help!

.datePage .box {background: none;}

Thanks, Andy. :thumbYou've helped me quite a bit. And I should have figured this one out since I already put a .datePage element in my stylesheet.

The grey underline is coming from this block of code:


.miniBox .albumTitle a.nav
{
color:#A1A5A9;
font-size:14px;
text-decoration:underline;
}



...and the white from this one:


.boxTop .title
{
color:#FFFFFF;
}



The trick is - those are in your theme, not in your customization css. You either need to change it in your theme or, as my CSS guru friend says, "you'll need to duplicate the selector, e.g., ".boxTop .title" but make it more specific, e.g., "#bodyWrapper .boxTop .title" to set the white text to some other color."

Thanks! I need one of those gurus for myself! It worked and I learned something, too.
