Styling archives widget

find the class=”widget widget_archive” and change it, if not find, add it.

Thanks, but that solution is not working. I want to put a border around the archives widget and change the background color, but when I style the .widget_archive, the .widgettitle shows up inside it. Is there anything I can do with the .css or can someone help me find the actual code that generates the widget so I can add a div to it?

<li id="archives-3" class="widget widget_archive">
<h2 class="widgettitle">Archives</h2>
<select name="archive-dropdown" onchange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'> <option value="">Select Month</option> 	<option value='https://www.atozenglish.jp/wordpress/?m=201005'> May 2010 &nbsp;(12)</option>

Hey! I just randomly came across this topic because I had the same issue.

However, I just wrote the following lines:

#sidebar .widget_archive a, #sidebar #archives ul li a {
[content here]
}

You also may want to change the sidebar with something else, but it depends on your themes. The name is usually “#sidebar” though.

I’m also aware that this topic is three months old, but if someone else is looking for the answer, they may find it here.
