Thank you very much for the help.

All right. Thanks. I’ll do that.

I figured out it connected to my WordPress.com rather than the account I set-up for him. So I deleted Jetpack and reinstalled it while having his WordPress.com account open. Problem solved.

I’d say thanks for the help, but I didn’t get any.

The problem was the free hosting blocking the connection. Upgraded to paid hosting and Enabled outgoing connections in Firewall Options under Hosting Settings and now the website can communicate with WordPress.com.

Okay. Thank you very much for checking.

At least I know some people see it even though it’s not showing up in my house or my neighbors’ houses when I test viewed the site on their devices. So when I show the site to the friend I made it for, if he can’t see the site icon, at least I can now tell him that other people can.

(And it’s an “O” in the Cherry Swash font to match the “Omni Education” text in the banner.)

Yes, it worked this time. Must have been that weird computer glitch of reading the previous file as I just cut & pasted the same code I had tried previously. (I keep a list of all the code I try even if it doesn’t work so I’ll know what I’ve tried.)

Thank you so much for the all the help!!

When I tried
.main-navigation {
color: #000000;
}
I also tried
.main-navigation a {
color: #000000;
}
and it also did not work to change the font color in the menu.

You highlighted — thank you for doing that!! — an area called “main-navigation a” so that is the name of that section?

That’s part of why I posted this thread…………I thought I grasped enough about a child theme that I found the name of the section and then put the change after it, yet when I tried it nothing changed and I figured I must be not getting the name of the section correct.

Yet apparently that was the name of the section and it still didn’t work for some reason. I’ll try doing it again. I know on my personal website I’ve run into issues where I’ll upload a new html file, hit refresh and for some reason the page still “reads” the old file. Maybe that was happening here.

Thank you. That worked to change the font color in the body, but not in the menu.

I use Firefox and when I “Inspect” the menu, it appears to be called .main navigation but when I try this code:
.main-navigation {
color: #000000;
}
it doesn’t change the menu color.
