GuestHow to change the background color for the posts category page (the page that comes up when you click a category link in the sidebar of a post)? I’m using the Callaway theme. Thanks!

ParticipantHi Donald,
Thanks for reaching out and thank you for using Callaway WordPress theme with BoldGrid Post and Page Builder for WordPress!
I’m having a hard time finding your posts category page. If you could send us the URL to one of those pages we’d be happy to take a look.

ParticipantHi Donald,
Sorry that link just takes me to a staging login page. Do you have a different URL you can send us?

GuestYes, I’m working on the staging site which is quite different than that production site. How can I send you the staging site login info?

ParticipantThanks Donald,
We can’t take any login information in this forum here. You would need access to our Premium Support.
Is there a way that you can push the changes to live so that we can inspect them?

GuestThe CSS did not work. The site is in production now. You should be able to see the category list now. Simply go to the home page and click on any of the blog posts that appear in one of the three post widgets. Then click on the sidebar on the posts page. (The sidebar links no longer link to lists of posts in a category, but the page is still a posts category page.)

ParticipantThanks Donald,
I inspected your code and came up with some CSS that should change the post-category list colors in your sidebar. Try replacing the first snippet I sent you with this bit:
.sidebar .widget .nav a {
color: #fff !important
}I hope this helps to resolve your issue.

GuestThe CSS you sent is to change the post-list color in the sidebar. What I need is the CSS for the page background color of the post-list page. Thanks!

ParticipantMy apologies Donald! Something like this should change the post archive background color:
.palette-primary.category .site-content {
background: black !important;
}Let us know if you have any issues!

GuestArgh. I can’t tell if your CSS works because the links in the post archives (categories) widget no longer go to a post archive page. (I noticed this change when I switched permalinks from default to post name.)

ParticipantHmm…Maybe try refreshing your permalinks from from your WordPress dashboard Settings<<Permalinks. All you need to do is scroll down and click save changes in that dashboard.
