    I’ve got the Colors Addon but changes I make in Customize > Colors are not reflected in my site. I understand how to change colors at the Block level but I can’t find a way to change default colors for links and buttons. In the customizer, the changes I make are saved and visible but the site is still using the theme default colors. I’ve looked in the Additional CSS box and I’ve made changes there but they also were ignored.

    My site: https://patamystic.com/oy/

    It’s easy enough to change colors in Blocks but I would rather have the colors specified in Customizer be used everywhere. What am I missing?
    (Theme 3.0.4, Plugin 2.0.3)

    Hi Eric,

    If the content is built with a plugin, eg. GenerateBlocks, it will use the color set in the plugin. If there’s no color set in the block, it might use customizer color depends on what the content is.

    In the customizer, the changes I make are saved and visible but the site is still using the theme default colors

    Can you specify the section that is having this issue? I can help look into it 🙂

    Let me know 🙂

    Oh, sorry, I thought it would be obvious (but I see now that it is not). The theme uses purple for buttons and grey for links. I’m trying to change the purple and grey to orange. As you can see on the page I was able to change the buttons in blocks to orange but the button in the menu is still purple. Also, any new links or buttons use the purple colors and not the ones I specified in the Customizer.

    I added a an explanatory paragraph of text to the page.

    In short, I changed the default colors for button and links in Customizer but all new links and buttons are still showing up as purple and grey. I presume there is some CSS somewhere overriding my Customizer settings?

    Thanks

    The button style in primary navigation is defined by this CSS:
    https://www.screencast.com/t/MuH6f2YQp

    /* studio classes menu button */
    
    .main-navigation:not(.slideout-navigation) .main-nav li.studio-button a {
      background-color: rgba(132,140,183,1.0);
      color: #ffffff;
      border: 0;
      line-height: 40px;
      padding: 0px 24px;
      border-radius: 50px;
      margin-left: 30px;
      transition: all 0.5s ease 0s;
    }

    You can find it at customizer > addtional CSS.

    Also, any new links or buttons use the purple colors and not the ones I specified in the Customizer.

    Can you show me one new link that is not using customizer color? I don’t see links on your home page.

    For buttons, if you are using GB button, it won’t follow the customizer color since it doesn’t have the button class.

    Customizer button option applies to the buttons that generated by WP, eg. Read more button on blog/archive pages.

    Let me know 🙂

    There is a paragraph of text on the page with the Header READ ME. There are two links in the last sentence.

    Sorry I failed reading this paragraph 😛

    So go to Customizing > Colors > Content, the link color is set to grey, it overrides the link color set for body.
