    Hello,

    I am using Genesis Featured Widget Amplified to display posts on my website sidebar.

    How do I change the color of the article "titles" in the sidebar from black to blue?

    Thanks in advance

    Without seeing your site, I'm assuming this would work:

     

    #sidebar .widget h4, .widget-area h4 {

        color: #000;

    }

    Change the "#000" to whatever color you'd like. If that doesn't work please provide a link to your site so I can see it in action.

    I am sorry I missed it.

    It's http://www.marineinsight.com

    Where should I make the changes and in which file of the plugin?

    Thanks

    Sorry, that should go in your style.css file.

    I tried to make the changes, but nothing happened!

    However, I am not able to find in my CSS the exact code which you have mentioned

    You wont find that code because I was providing a new snippet for you to copy and past in there. Let's try this instead:

     

    Locate the following code:

    .widget h4, .widget-area h4 {

        text-transform: uppercase;

    }

    and make it look like this:

    .widget h4, .widget-area h4 {

        text-transform: uppercase;
        color: #ff0000;

    }

    Lets see if that does the trick,

    I don't see that you placed what I provided anywhere in your style.css file. Make sure it's saving, or that your in the proper file.

    I had done it, but as nothing happened, I removed it.

    But now I have put it again. Kindly check.

    It worked, but I just realized you asked to change the article titles, not the widget titles. So lets try this instead:

    Add the following to your style.css file:

    .sidebar .featuredpost h2, .sidebar .featuredpost h2 a{

    color:#ff000;

    }

    I did what you asked me too... but I dont see any changes...Is it because of the cache plugin?

    I'm still seeing the other code in there. Try turning off the cache plugin

    Sorry, I missed a zero.. it needs to be ff0000 (which is just a red test color) rather than ff000 then it will work.

    On my end they are red now. Try refreshing your browser's cache.

    Also you'll want to remove the color from:

    .widget h4, .widget-area h4 {

        color: #FF0000;
        text-transform: uppercase;

    }

    so the widget titles are back to normal.

    Yes I can see that now !! 🙂

    Thank you.

    Is there a way, in which when I can change the color to black when hover.

    Just like copyblogger.com/blog

    Yes, just change the color for the a:hover attribute.
