Footer Bar Widget Strangeness

Hi Neil,

Glad you are enjoying GP :)

You should be able to change the footer bar menu color in Customizer > Colors > Footer > Link/Link Hover.

Looks like the current menu color is inherited from the Link Hover color. Try changing it with this CSS:

.footer-bar .widget_nav_menu .current-menu-item a {
    color: #521eb2;
}

Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/

As for the MailChimp sign-up form, is it suppose to show a title? GP doesn't remove the contents added by a plugin.

Let me know.

Hi Leo,

Thanks for the speedy response. I've added the CSS and that has solved my problem, although now I have another one. Of my four menu items, three of them point to either the current page or anchors within that page. Of those three, hovering over them does not seem to change the hover colour at all. Any ideas?

Regarding the MailChimp widget, there is a title on it and on other themes I was using, the title would be shown but not on GP. There is a workaround I think I can do by adding in some text on the widget itself but I'm curious as to why the GP theme wouldn't show the title when others did.

Thanks,

Neil.

Hi Neil,

Try this for the current menu item hover:

.footer-bar .widget_nav_menu .current-menu-item a:hover {
    color: #521eb2;
}

As for the MailChimp issue - is it a specific MailChimp widget, or a regular Text widget?

Hi Tom,

The mailchimp widget is an official mailchimp thing.

I have the workaround in place now but still curious as to why it wouldn't show.

Thanks,

Neil.

Any chance you can link me to the page?

Sure. Beta.fickaskap.com

Ah yea, footer bar widget titles are hidden by default, as they're typically supposed to be one line/inline widgets.

Try this:

.footer-bar .widget-title {
    display: block;
}

Thanks Tom. I'm away now for the weekend but will try that on Monday.

Sounds good - have a great weekend :)

Hi Tom, that's all fixed now. Thanks.

You're welcome :)
