Front Page Shows Link Color In Summary Text #188

adamcroom · 2015-04-14T18:04:47Z

My website is http://adamcroom.com. The text of front page summaries is the link color instead of black like the demo content. I see the correct view in the "Customize" viewer but not once I push out the update.

And, just as a note, I've gone ahead and made my link color a grey for now but would like to use the default green!

When I "view source" on your site, I notice there are several sections of the auto-generated Theme Customizer CSS missing (Text Color, Link Color):

        <!--WordPress Theme Customizer CSS-->
        <style type="text/css">

            /* Background Color */

            .site { background-color:#ffffff; }

            /* Comment Form Background Color */


            /* Text Color */


            /* Link Color */

Can you try going into WordPress Dashboard → Appearance → Customize, expand the Colors panel, click Select Color* on each one, and then press Default?

Once that's done, hit Save and then visit your site and see if that fixed the issue.

If that did not fix the issue, then I'm thinking you might have a WordPress plugin installed that is conflicting with the Independent Publisher theme in some way--disabling plugins one-by-one and retesting should uncover the culprit.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to solve the issue. All colors have been reset and I even disabled all plugins. My last idea was to start with a fresh Wordpress install and then import blog posts and media (and I did install ANY plugins) but I still had the same issue.

Hi Adam,

A re-install shouldn't be necessary. Even if there is not a pertinent
solution right away, you could add some custom css to overrule the
current layout.
This should do the trick:

div.entry-content a {
color: black;
}

That said, I also notice that in the live preview a Continue Reading
link is present, which you don't have in your live website.
In you live website the entire excerpt is a link, which explains the
layout you get.

Sorry for only giving a quick fix. I am not that well know with this theme.

Best regards,
Michael

Michael—I’ve added that to the CSS. The only problem with it is that now the links inside my blog posts are also black.

@adamcroom I just tested the theme on two different hosts (WP Engine and LiquidWeb) and I haven't been able to reproduce this issue.

Any chance you could give me a temporary WordPress Dashboard admin account and access to the database (via phpMyAdmin)? If you have a test site with a clean install of WordPress where this is happening, I can use that to diagnose this further.

adamcroom · 2015-04-15T20:22:03Z

@raamdev — sure thing. Whats the best way to get it to you privately?

Sorry about that. It was a quick fix and I couldn't reproduce it myself.
But I see Raam is on top of it, as always.

Good luck.

@raamdev Hi, I have the exact same problem with your theme (http://www.lamakopf.de) and I was wondering if you found the mistake?
I'm not very good in coding and so I didn't try anything yet.

jan-vandenberg · 2015-09-30T08:41:22Z

What I did was: on line 1093 of functions.php I deleted the "!" (I know it's an ugly fix but it works for me).

Lamakopf · 2015-09-30T09:02:26Z

@jan-vandenberg Thank you, it worked perfectly!

raamdev · 2015-11-01T19:53:05Z

I believe that I have finally figured out what was causing this problem:

If you customize the Link Color without ever touching the Text Color, the Text Color never actually gets set and then this line returns false, which means the theme never overrides the newly customized Link Color.

Changing this line to the following should fix this bug:

$default_mod_value = ($mod_name === 'text_color' ? '#000000' : '');
$mod = get_theme_mod( $mod_name, $default_mod_value );

raamdev · 2015-11-01T19:55:58Z

Next Release Changelog:

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug where the post excerpts on the home page would use the Link Color instead of the Text Color. Props @adamcroom and Jakub Kapusnak. See Issue #188.
