    Hi there,

    I was trying to change the themes #63C6AE colour to #D51C3B to match the company’s logo in a couple of places (site title, slider areas) and I seem to have upset the whole layout!

    As far as I’m aware I haven’t deleted or added text where it shouldn’t be etc.

    Any ideas why this has happened? I had successfully set up some great looking services, recent work etc and now it’s looking a bit of a mess. I can deactivate the Under Construction if anyone wants to have a look.

    I know you’re going to tell me next time I should have a child theme before I start messing! I need to learn how to do that.
    Any help on how to get the CSS as it should be (this is all I have tried to change – is it possible to copy and paste the default CSS from somewhere for example??) would be appreciated!

    Hi catherine,

    Yes we always recommended to make a child theme before making any changes in theme to be safe from data loss while updating to our new version.
    You may also change the CSS code from Dashboard-> Appearance -> Theme Options -> Design Options Tab -> Custom CSS paste the CSS code and Click on save all changes button
    If you change only the Colour code #63C6AE to #D51C3B to match the company’s logo then there will not be any loss of content.

    Thank you!

    Thank you very much, I’ll have another go – not sure quite what went wrong before! But I copied and pasted the original .css file from the Interface theme download and got it back to normal.

    Can you point me in the direction of a helpfile on creating a child theme??

    Thank you again,

    Catherine

    Hi catherine,

    You may visit to this link for creating child theme.
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
    If you are unable to create a Child Theme then you may also use Custom CSS to over ride the parent CSS too.

    Thank You!
