Hello, I am using the Reboot SP Theme and the color of the links is a very light blue.  I would like to change that.  Is there a menu option to do that that I have missed or shall I change it via CSS?

Thanks!

Hey Jenn, when was the last time you updated Reboot? A fix was put in place for the post link colour. If you're running a complete custom theme and not a child, you will need to make these changes manually. See the codex update page for a reference.

I do have an update to do with my Theme, so it sounds like I should do that.  

I just recently in the last couple of weeks set up a child theme for reboot.  Can you tell me what happens when I update my theme, how does that affect my child theme and the changes I have made?

Thank you so much for your help!

No problem, glad to help!

Updating Reboot won't affect your child theme at all. Once updating, Reboot will include the new changes and your child theme wont be touched during the update process, all your changes will be loaded over the top just as before.

Ok, that's great.  I will go ahead and update and see if that fixes my link problem.  

Thank you so much!

Ok, so I just updated my Theme but I have a big problem, I can longer see my forum menu. 

This was a problem from the beginning and I got it sorted with help from Thesis, which is the WP theme I use.  

They gave me some code to enter into my master.php file, which I did and it worked great. My menus shifted down and I was able to see the Forum menu.  

Immediately after I updated SP however, the menu has disappeared!!

I don't know if this helps but this was the code I entered that fixed the problem originally:

function move_admin_menu() {
global $menu, $wp_version, $thesis; #wp
if (version_compare($wp_version, '2.9', '>=')) #wp
$menu[40] = array('', 'read', 'separator-thesis', '', 'wp-menu-separator'); #wp
$beta = preg_match('/a|b/i', $thesis->version) ? __(' <span class="t_beta">Beta!</span>', 'thesis') : '';
add_menu_page("Thesis{$beta}", "Thesis{$beta}", 'edit_theme_options', 'thesis', array($thesis->admin, 'options_page'), THESIS_IMAGES_URL . '/favicon.ico', 41); #wp
add_submenu_page('thesis', 'Thesis', __('Thesis Home', 'thesis'), 'edit_theme_options', 'thesis');
if (is_array($quicklaunch = apply_filters('thesis_quicklaunch_menu', array())) && !empty($quicklaunch))
foreach ($quicklaunch as $link)
if (is_array($link) && !empty($link))
add_submenu_page('thesis', '', $link['text'], 'edit_theme_options', $link['url']);
}

Can you please help me, because I can't access any of it right now??

Sorry about that.  All is well now.  I didn't realize I had to go back in and activate SP again.  

 

Should the link color change automatically or is there a place for me to change it?  It didn't change just by updating so I am wondering if I have to change something manually. 

 

Thanks again!

Do you know why it was deactivated? A theme update doesn't deactivate the main core plugin.
I will let Ike deal with the styling question.

I believe that in addition to the Theme update I also updated the the core plugin as well without realizing it and that is why it was deactivated.  

It sure scared me though to see an empty page on the front end and have no Forum menu on the back!

Thanks for checking in and I will wait to hear back from Ike regarding the links.smile

The link colour should have changed, unless of course you've already changed it in your child theme. What overlay are you using? Is it one of the 'light' ones?
