    Hi everyone... 🙂

    I'm stuck on a few things...

    This is my site so far:

    Home

    1. How do I change the hyperlink colour to Pink (the default is yellow)?
    I went into the style sheets and changed the yellow to pink in it but it didn’t change it.

    2. My home page won’t show up like the http://demo.studiopress.com/agency/. So I’ve set it to display the latest blog posts for now. When I set it to the “home” page a blank page comes up like this:

    Home

    3. I’m upgrading from Optimize Press 1 to Genesis. Love Genesis so far....
    In OP1 there are heaps of shortcodes. I have 100’s and 100’s of pages and posts using short code.
    Is there are way to remove the shortcode and swap it for titles instead.
    A plugin that will do this.

    I’ve found a plugin that will remove shortcodes but only from displaying, and then you have to manually go in and still remove the shortcodes and change the text to titles etc.

    Thanks so much

    Hi Mandy

    1. You can read this tutorial to learn how to change hyperlink colours.
    2. Please try the theme setup guide which will help you setup your front page. You'll find the link on the downloads page.
    3. You can run a SQL query using phpMyAdmin to remove short codes from your database content and replace with something else. ( Make sure you backup your DB first ).

    Hi Brad, I used the theme setup guide, but it didn't work. I'm wondering if it's due to something that's hanging on from OP1?

    Thanks so much for your quick response and for helping! 🙂
