Older WP themes had a page you could access called Customize > Additional CSS….but with new WordPress themes, they want you to access the Additional CSS section by going to:

Appearance > Editor

Once the page loads, click anywhere inside the page (where your site is shown) so it pulls up the editor.

Once the editor is showing, click the “Styles” button at the top right of the screen. It’s the little Circle that’s half white half black right next to the 3 dots.

When the STYLES sidebar opens up, click the 3 dots (in between the “eye” icon and the X).

Select the “Additional CSS” link from the dropdown. Add in your CSS there.

If you want to change your color to yellow, here’s an example you can start with – #edbf07 In order to find the exact color you want, you just need to use a Color Picker. This can be found anywhere. You can use the color picker on the Theme Editor itself (just use a text block and change the color to pull it up).

Or you can go to Google and type in “Hex Color” and it will automatically pull up a Color Picker. Select your color and copy the HEX code to add to your CSS.

For the “Additional CSS” location, I wish there was a faster way to get to this section, but that’s just the way WordPress has it designed for now. I guess it doesn’t really matter that much since you won’t need to really add custom CSS. Most of the customizations in this theme can be done without adding CSS. We just needed to add it for this specific part of the theme.

The other options to add custom CSS is by adding your own custom.css file to your theme. And of course you could just edit the CSS files of the theme directly.

That’s 3 different ways to edit the CSS. Some people like adding CSS using the “Additional CSS” method to keep their Custom CSS outside of the theme. Some like creating their own custom CSS file to add inside the theme, and some prefer just editing the main theme’s CSS file directly (style.css). All methods work perfectly fine. Totally up to you!

Have you tried placing your Header into a ”Group” block first and then selecting the Sticky option?

Sure, no problem! Do you mind creating a temporary login so I can take a quick look?

Everything should be fine, you might just have the wrong version installed.

There’s a version for the Genesis Framework, and then there’s the Standalone version that is the Full Site Editor version.

You probably have the Genesis version installed. If you want to use the Patterns, you can install the “Full Site Editor” version (it’s the latest version of the theme).

However, if you did want to use the Genesis Framework, then you would need to install the “Collections Plugin” and use the “Layouts” option (it works similar to Patterns).

Personally, I would just use the latest version with the Patterns.

Let me know if that works.

I believe so. They’re pretty good at getting issues fixed pretty quickly.

Also, another option is to directly upload themes using FTP. This can be done by extracting the zip file on your desktop and uploading it to your Themes folder via FTP.

That or the Code Snippets method should work fine for this.

Although it’s not a big issue, hopefully they get it fixed in the next update.

Hi Sabrina,

Which Aspire link did you need?

The 3.0 version can be found on the main Aspire theme/shop page – https://appfinite.com/shop/aspire/ …it includes the previous 2.0 version that was designed for Genesis as well (just in case some users want to install the older version). They’re both included together right along with the Genesis Framework all in one at this link.

If you’ve already purchased the new theme or previous themes, they can be accessed through your account – https://appfinite.com/my-account/

Forum link – https://appfinite.com/forum/aspire-theme-support/

Docs page – https://appfinite.com/theme-setup/aspire-theme-setup/ – I’m in the process of adding a new section that covers the 3.0 Full Site Editor version of this.

Let me know if you run into any issues or have any questions. You can also contact us here if you prefer – https://appfinite.com/contact-us/

Hi, I apologize, I don’t speak Italian so I’ll have to use a translator to read and reply. It might not be accurate.

Do you have a link to your site? Is it possible to create a temporary login so I can take a quick look?

Which method are you using to display your blog?

There is the first method –

Settings > Reading ….then set the Posts page to the page you created as your Blog.

The second method is to set the page as the blog page from the Template section in the editor. That of course depends on which version you’re using.

*****************************************************************************

Translated from above –

Ciao, mi scuso, non parlo italiano, quindi dovrò utilizzare un traduttore per leggere e rispondere. Potrebbe non essere preciso.

Hai un link al tuo sito? È possibile creare un accesso temporaneo in modo che possa dare un’occhiata veloce?

Quale metodo stai utilizzando per visualizzare il tuo blog?

C’è il primo metodo:

Impostazioni > Lettura … quindi imposta la pagina dei post alla pagina che hai creato come il tuo blog.

Il secondo metodo è impostare la pagina come pagina del blog dalla sezione Template nell’editor. Naturalmente, questo dipende dalla versione che stai utilizzando.

It really depends on how much work you’ve done with the current theme. Once you install the upgraded version you’re basically replacing the old theme and adding in a brand new version. Both of the new versions keep the same styling as the original demo.

Do you have a working link that I can take a quick look at?

If not, are you using Front Page widgets? Have you made a lot of CSS changes?

If it were me, I’d just go with the 3.0 FSE version, but I can understand if some users prefer to keep Genesis and use the 2.0 version.

It won’t have the automatic updates, (at least not yet, but possibly in the future). If interested I can add your email to a list were I can send out update notifications. I also provide update notifications through Social Media. I try to make sure and code everything properly the right way the first time so there’s never a need for any Major/Emergency updates. Most of the updates are usually addon features or things that enhance or fix small css stuff.

I would be more than happy to help migrate to the new version of Oasis (or any theme you’d like). In this case we could get everything setup and then remove Genesis and any other plugins that won’t be needed with the new version.

I haven’t seen that issue before. When did this start happening?

Are you running the latest versions of the theme, Genesis, WordPress, etc?

You could also try disabling each of your plugins individually to see if there’s a conflict with any of them.

Do you have a link to your site?

Hi,

Is it possible to create a Temporary login so I can see what’s going on?

Do you know what version you have running with WP, PHP, etc? I can also try to recreate the same setup on a local install to see if I come across the same issue.

When I add the code it only shows on the desktop. There is already CSS that is supposed to hide the “Menu” text from showing on desktop, unless that part of the code was edited in some way?

Can you add the code on the live site so the issue can appear? I’ll be able to see directly what’s going on.

Here’s all the code you need to change the Menu text color –

.menu-toggle,
.sub-menu-toggle {
	color: #333;
}

I removed the other parts that weren’t needed.

The “New” version just has a little bit more features added in and the code is cleaned up in certain areas on the backend. It’s designed for the latest version of Genesis/WordPress.

The old version will still work fine, but I would much rather you use the newer version if you can.

There isn’t anything inside the theme files that have anything related to “Colibri” so that’s why I’m wondering what else could be going on. Not sure if it’s a WP issue or what, but I can definitely find out.

If you want, I can log in for you to investigate what’s going on if you like. Just let me know!

Hi Marshall,

I haven’t ran into that issue before. Can you create a temporary login so I can take a look?

I’m pretty sure I can figure out what’s going on and get it installed.

If possible, you can send it here, just make sure you click the “Private Reply” checkbox or you can send it in the Contact Form.

Just let me know

Here’s is the code to change in your CSS –

.menu-toggle,
.sub-menu-toggle {
	background-color: transparent;
	border-width: 0;
	color: #fff;
	display: block;
	margin: 0 auto;
	overflow: hidden;
	text-align: center;
	visibility: visible;
}

This code is located in your style.css file. You can change it directly, or if you would like to keep your customizations separate then you can add this code in your Custom CSS by going to “Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS”. Just change the color: #fff; to whatever color you prefer.

Let me know if that helps

If you’re familiar with editing CSS, you have 2 options:

1. Edit the style.css file directly by going to the code around line 998 and changing the color here –

/* Site Header
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

.site-header {
	background-color: #000;
	box-shadow: 0 0 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
	color: #fff;
	padding: 0 40px;
}

2. You can add your own code in the Additional CSS section in the Customizer Page so it will override the style.css code (so you can keep customizations separate from the main files).

In the Admin, go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS ….then add the following code –

/* Site Header
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

.site-header {
	background-color: #000;
}

You can change the background color to whatever color you want it will show up on your site when you reload your page (and clear cache if needed).

If you need help finding the Hex Color code you can look at something like this – https://htmlcolorcodes.com/

Ah, I figured it out. Same issue as above – https://appfinite.com/topic/epik-theme-update-2/#post-24964

Your account was originally setup in 2014 so the system wasn’t giving you access to the latest download/update since it’s been more than a year. (We added annual updates/support a long time ago)

It should be added to your account now.

Check your Account here – https://appfinite.com/my-account/ then click “Downloads” and let me know if it shows up.

You can access this by clicking “My Account” in the bottom menu of the site.

Let me double check, I thought I added the updates to your account about a week ago.
