[Support request] GeneratePress – Dispatch theme – Color change

[Kristian]

I’m using the GeneratePress Dispatch Site Library and I can’t seem to find the place to change color on the “next post” and “previous posts” post-nav-wrap.

Hi there,

in Customizer > Additional CSS look for this block of CSS:

.post-nav {
    padding: 6px 12px;
    border-radius: 3px;
    font-size: 0.7em;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    background-color: #ff1956;
    color: #fff !important;
}

Simply change the background-color and color properties.

Hello,

I have the same issue, only I do not have that block of code in my Additional CSS. Has it been moved to another location? I looked through all of the CSS and also did a Control F search.

Hi Chris,

That’s odd. It should be there. For reference, can you provide the link to the site in question?

You may use the Private Information field for this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-premium-support-forum/#private-information

[Chris]

Yes, I am find with posting it here. It is http://www.greengennow.com.

I see.

Actually, can you go to Appearance > Elements > “Post Navigation Block”?

Then, edit the Background colors of the two Headline Blocks. Example: https://share.getcloudapp.com/5zu2NlJ2

Thank you. That worked. I had looked at that Element before, but to make the change I had to disable the Classic Editor plugin. Is there any reason I need that plugin activated for this theme?

[Fernando]

That plugin shouldn’t be needed for the theme.

It’s not a plugin imported when importing our site as well.

You can remove that. Block Elements of GP Premium only work with the Gutenberg Block Editor as well. It won’t work if you use the Classic Editor.

[Chris]

Awesome, thank you for the fast support. It was extremely helpful.

[Fernando]

You’re welcome, Chris!
