[Support request] First widget is not in color anymore

[Felix]

The first widget is not in color anymore. Why is it white? I thought the first widget is getting highlited?

I noticed that my customisations are gone, when I enable the child theme. How can I keep my changes while using the child theme?

Hi there,

I’m assuming you are referring to the orange color in Marketer theme?

It was set by this CSS which I no longer see in your install:

.sidebar .widget:first-child {
	background-color: #e86000;
	color: #fff;
}

.sidebar .widget:first-child .widget-title,
.sidebar .widget:first-child a:not(.button) {
	color: #fff;
}

As for child theme issues, can you take a look these two articles and follow the steps?

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Well, it’s more the child theme thing.

If I enable the main theme and disable the child theme, everything is working again. Also the homepage looks different (thumbnails on the left, text / headline / read more button is on the right).

If I put the child theme on again, settings are gone.

I’m using the GP child theme example and only thing I added is a view for a custom post type.

Can you make sure to copy the CSS in the Additional CSS field in the parent theme and add to your child theme’s style.css?
