Multiple questions: sidebar button; sidebar related posts

Hi!

I have a problem with the button in the sidebar. It looks different from the others button. I have customized the buttons from theme options > buttons, but the one in the sidebar looks different and it is always underlined. (img. 1)
I can’t figure it out the reason.

Also in the sidebar I have added the related posts through a plug-in (powerkit) but the visualization of the titles is really weird, I attach an image.

Thank you so much.

Ok thank you so much! I’ve created a secure note.
The TEST button is in the sidebar in the “blog” page

Do you think is there any solution? I’ve notice that also other buttons look weird…

Hey Luigi,

I think this is a bug or at-least this aspect of our theme is confusing. Before I show you a workaround, I’d like to let you know first what’s happening. The Button Color is overridden by 2 options. Those are the Body Font Color on Mobile and the Ethos Widget Color on Desktop.

With that said, the only solution for this is to use CSS for the sidebar button. Please add the code below in Theme Options > CSS.

body .x-sidebar .button {
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
}

Regarding the post titles in the sidebar, the third-party plugin uses h3 tag for titles and the h3 tag in our theme uses 228.5% as font size. Please add the following code in Theme Options > CSS as well.

.x-sidebar h3,
.x-sidebar .h3 {
    font-size: 88.5%;
}

Modify the values depending on your design requirements.

Hope that helps.

Thak you so much for your reply

Let me understand better please,
have you change the value in typography and ethos?

Just because I can’t find it, I see in every device the same colour, anyway it wasn’t my intention to do that, I want in every device the same colour, I though that setting the same colour I could resolve, I really don’t want to use additional CSS. Anyway even with the CSS looks weird, seems like it is a shadow on the text…

Regarding th other concern, why every link is underline? Even in the sidebar button? I remember that at the beginning (when i start building the site) it wasn’t like that

Again, thank you for your help!

Hey Luigi,

Sorry, I forgot to add that I didn’t save the Theme Options. I just changed the values to preview and show you what affects the sidebar buttons.

The CSS I provided only changes the text color and removes the underline of a button in the sidebar. There’s no text shadow when I checked.

Regarding the underline, it could be a third-party plugin added style. Please testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

Thanks.

okok I see

last question, if you didn’t save the theme options why I can’t find what you show me?

If I go in Theme Options under typography or ethos I see for every device the same colour and settings…

Hey Luigi,

You can’t find what I showed you because I didn’t save the Theme Options. If you’re still confused, please forget about those options for the sidebar button as they cause a design conflict for your site. Just use the CSS.

Thanks.

Oh now I understand, sorry!

Ok I will use the CSS, thank you so much for your help!!

No worries, Luigi. I’ll also submit this to our issue tracker so that if our developers determine this to be a bug, they will release a fix and then you can remove the CSS. We post bug fixes in our Changelog so I’d recommend you check it when an update is available.

Thanks.
