WordPress 2011 title color

  • Hi I am new to wordpress and trying to create a site using the 2011 theme. I am trying to change the color of the title by going into the css stylesheet. I can easily modify the size of the text, but for some reason no matter what I do the color remains the standard gray plus the alternate link color I chose in the theme options when you roll over.

    Is there something over-riding my changes? What do I need to do in order to accomplish the color changes? Thanks.

    Are you talking about the site title at the top or post and page titles?

    Site title color is here #site-title a
    Site title hover color here: #site-title a:hover, #site-title a:focus, #site-title a:active
    Site description/tagline color here: #site-description

    Yes all of those. If I make changes to the colors, it remains the same, while changes to size works fine.

    Ok I seem to have found my answer! I am using the dark theme, and apparently there is an issue with this explained here:

    I just did the following on my test site after activating twenty eleven, and the site title went red (cc0000) the site title hover color a purple (892abf) and the site descriptions/tagline green (2fd546). I did have to add !important to the hover color.

    #site-title a {
color: #CC0000;
}

#site-title a:hover, #site-title a:focus, #site-title a:active {
    color: #892abf !important;
}

#site-description {
color: #2FD546;
}

    Are you editing the original stylesheet or did you create a child theme (highly recommended) or what?

    Also, are you using the light or dark color scheme?
