I am very glad this may be of help to you, Aldobec. I hesitated to post this info so I’m glad you wrote.

Hello Snow Summit users. I am returning to this thread briefly to tell you that I did change my theme because Snow Summit is no longer updated. The chances that someday the theme would not work with WordPress seemed probable. I am now using the Suffusion Theme by Sayonton Sinha. It is an excellent, well supported, flexible theme. I highly recommend it.

Thanks, again, Andrew. I appreciate how quickly you respond to my questions. You are an awesome moderator.

Andrew, thank you very much for sending me the above link. It is very thorough. I am going to try to use it on a test site I have made for learning.

Would you mind advising me further? I am using the Snow Summit theme. The theme is easy to use and serves my purposes well, however, it appears that it is no longer updated. The website for the theme is no longer active. Do you know whether this theme is still supported by its developer? If it is not, would you advise me to choose another theme that is supported? My concern is that as WordPress continues to update, eventually Snow Summit will not work properly.

Thanks again for your help.

Cheryl

Thank you very much, Andrew. I will work my way through this and if I have questions will be back, I am sure.

Best,
Cheryl

Hi WPyogi. Thank you for your help. I successfully changed the “a:hovers” a while ago. I was talking about changing the hover colors in the body of a blog post. I embedded a couple of links in the text of my last post. The text of these links is black and underlined. When I hover my cursor over them they turn red. It is this color I would like to change to orange.

On another note, can you recommend a site that gives clear, easy-to-follow instructions on how to build a child theme? As a beginner, I have found this task rather daunting.

Thank you again for your help.

I’m with Aldobec. I am also considering leaving theme because it is unsupported. Does anyone out there know how to encourage the creator to support their theme? I think I’ll add this to the WordPress complaint list.

Yes, I am using it as a separator. Did you try downloading the “Ultimate TinyMCE” plugin? It does work for colored bullets that go to the beginning of the sentence. I looked at your website and had the exact same problem on mine when I first tried bullets. Here is the link to the developer’s site: https://www.plugins.joshlobe.com/
However, you can download it directly from the WordPress plugins menu.
Bonne chance! (J’ai remarqué que vous êtes Canadien.)

Hello,
First, to change the colors of the bullets I downloaded the plugin: Ultimate Plugin TinyMCE. This installed directly into post editing. I wound up not using the colored bullets, although they are there if I need them. Rather, I designed an image in Illustrator that I used to separate topics. I uploaded these into my page via the “media upload.” You can see this, it is an orange swirl, on my website: newestartfarm.com. Look under “Helpful Reading.”

I have to say, I like the Snow Summit theme very much but it looks as if no one is updating it. I hope this does not mean that we will have to change themes once this one becomes too outdated. I have managed to make some changes by looking over the WordPress Codex and at others’ posts.

I hope this helps you. I often feel like a fish flopping around on land for hours as I try to figure this stuff out!

Hello again. Figured it out.

Hello. I have the same question as the one above. I am using Snow Summit. I like the theme very much, however I have created a bulleted list where the bullets are not aligned with the first line of the text. You can see what I am talking about here:

https://www.newestartfarm.com/helpful-reading/

You will notice that the gray bullets are placed at the middle of the paragraphs. I do not know how to fix this problem. I would also like to change the color of the bullets.

Can someone out there explain how to make these changes in very simple terms? I am a beginner. Thank you for your help.
