  1. Hi,

    I am trying to change the main menu font color. Its currently in its default blueish color (as hyperlinks usually are) but I can’t seem to find the option to do it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • Hi Zan! Thanks for reaching out, you can change the main menu font color directly from your Crio/WordPress customizer by navigating to Appearance > Design > Menus > Main Menu > Menu Items > Link Color.

      I hope this helps! If you have any other questions for us don’t hesitate to start a new forum topic and include the URL to your website so that we can begin troubleshooting.

      • Hi. Thanks for the feedback but I already tried this and I have both Link Color and Sub Menu Link color set to orange however the main menu is still blue.

        • It’s possible there’s some styling coming from elsewhere in your theme. We’d be happy to take a further look at this. Please start new forum topic and include the URL of your website so that we can inspect it and begin troubleshooting right away.

          Thank you.

          • Hi Zan,

            Thank you

  2. Hello: i just installed Crio on my wordpress site and I’ve updated my color palette and I’ve pinned it and saved it and logged out and saved it again but I can’t change the link color palette, the button color palette, etc. The issued color palette are brown, reddish, yellow and white and I’ve been trying to update the palette to be a hues of purple, white and black. Thanks

    • Hi Kate,

      Thanks for reaching out. Link and Buttons have their own color controls in Crio Pro WordPress theme. From your WordPress Customizer Appearance > Design > Site Content > Links to access your link settings.

      You’ll find your Button colors at Appearance > Design > Buttons to access button settings.

      I hope this helps!

  3. Something has happened with an update to Crio, and now my main navigation has an red-orange bar underneath it that raises on hover. I’m trying to get rid of that bar altogether, but I don’t see where to set that.

    • Hi Peter!

      I just checked your theme and I no do not see the red bar mentioned below your main navigation menu. If this still isn’t resolved on your end try clearing all cache associated with your website, that includes browser cache and any server side caching you may have enabled.

      I hope this helps!
