[Resolved] .category-ID CSS not working for background color (Dark theme on specific posts)

[David]

Try this CSS:

body.single.category-photography {
    background-color: #000;
}
.single.category-photography .inside-article,
.single.category-photography .comments-area,
.single.category-photography .page-header,
.single.category-photography .paging-navigation,
.single.category-photography .inside-page-header {
    color: #fff;
}

That did the trick. Thank you both so much, it looks really good.

Glad we could be of help

Sorry, I just realized one last thing. My text hover color is normally black, but on dark mode that renders it invisible, so I had added this code to make the hover color on dark mode white instead:

body.category-photography a:hover,
a:active {
color: #fff;
}

It worked, however now when I hover on the title in the blog or category archives, the title turns white on a white background. I just realized this. Is there a way I can make the above code only take effect within the body of my photography category?

Try single.category-photography a:hover

This fixes it when I hover on the blog or category archives, but now when inside the text of the article hovering on links doesn’t change the color (neither black like before nor white like it should be).

[David]

Maybe this is what you need?

.single.category-photos .entry-content a:hover,
.single.category-photos a:active {
    color: #fff;
}

[Joey]

That did it, thank you. I guess my code was missing a couple things. It looks really good, thanks for all your help.

[David]

I must admit – its a bit of a mind bender lol

Glad to be of help

You guys are going to hate me, but I noticed one last (small) issue. The “post comment” button at the bottom of the page is invisible because it is normally just black letters. I’m trying to find where I can adjust the class of that button (i.e. white text color) to make it visible.

Inspect element just tells me the class is “submit”. Not sure how I can fix it. Thank you.

Any chance you can open a new topic for the question?

Thanks 🙂

[Joey]

Yes, thank you.
