Default button color not applied
5 replies · Started by savedaws on April 27, 2018
I set button colors in Customize > Colors > Buttons (i.e. background color red) but when I add a button to a page using the basic Button module, it is light grey. I assumed that the button should be red, since that is what I set in the theme customizer.
I don't want to have to manually set the colors of all buttons, plus I'd like to use the default for them since I might update the color in the future.
Thoughts?
Hi there,
Not sure what you mean by basic button module?
GP doesn't have a any built in button add-on.
Let me know :)
Ah, I using GP with Beaver Builder. I've set the button colors in GP, but when I add a button via the Beaver Builder page builder, the button is a completely different color than what is in the theme settings. I'm trying to track that down so that I can set the color globally and not for each and every instance.
BB should have a their own color module for their buttons.
I would recommend checking with their support.
That's disappointing. I would assume that BB should accept the global color settings from within the theme Customizer, and GeneratePress is advertised as working with Beaver Builder.
GP uses the .button selector to write its CSS for the buttons.
That means Beaver Builder would need to use that same selector.
If you'd like to use the GP button color, just create a regular link and give it a button class:
<a class="button" href="YOUR URL">Your button text</a>
