    Maybe it's just the late hour... I need the cta-button text ("CONTACT ME") base link to be white. In Design Palette Pro it is set to #fff but on the site that text is adopting the link color for all other links sitewide. I went to the style.css file, and cta-button color is indeed #fff; I've flushed cache several times. The hover text color is correct, but I cannot get the base text color to 'behave' correctly with #fff;

    This site is currently in a staging area, you need login info -- if you can take a look and help me, let me know and I'll send you the info in a private post.

    TIA

    Forgot to add: I'm using Minimum Pro theme and the cta-button is in the Site Tagline-Right widget

    You have your site password protected. We can't help if we can't see the CSS.

    If you are using Design Palette Pro and a setting is not working, you should contact Design Palette Pro. It isn't a StudioPress Product.

    Victor, as I said, the site is in a staging area and is password-protected, which I have no control over at the moment. Is there a way for me to get the login information to you without publishing it here? You have been helpful to me in the past and I would appreciate it if you could take a look at the CSS.
    Thanks for replying

    Anita et al, as I mentioned in my first post, I've examined the style.css file and it indicates that the cta button text (link) color is #fff;

    a.cta-button {
    	background-color: #899f30;
    	border-bottom-width: 0;
    	border-radius: 5px;
    	color: #fff;
    	display: inline-block;
    	font-size: 18px;
    	font-weight: 300;
    	line-height: 1;
    	padding: 15px 20px;
    }
    
    a.cta-button:hover {
    	background-color: #0ebfe9;
    	color: #fff;
    }

    Design Palette Pro also indicates the color of the cta button text (link) is #fff;

    Inside the Site Tagline Widget is this code:

    <a class="cta-button" href="https://catherineleblanc.flywheelsites.com/contact/">CONTACT ME</a>

    The cta button text is currently adopting the color of sitewide text links and ignoring #fff in both Palette Pro and the style.css file

    I'm happy to send the site's login info to anyone who is willing to take a look and help me resolve this issue -- thanks.

    So, I haven't resolved the issue but I did a workaround: With experimentation I discovered that I can change the cta text color to any color

      other than

    #fff.

    Black, red, you name it -- just not pure #ffffff. So I've changed the color to #fcfcfc which still gives me white text (or at least white enough!).

    I'm still wondering why #fff was a "no go" in this theme so I'll not mark this as Resolved just yet.
