    [Forum] Editing stylevars for sidebar header link

    Hi there. I'm having trouble editing the stylevars for my forum sidebar. I want to change the header link colour to #601C17, but even though the stylevar saves it in the backend, the old colour appears on the forum. Do I need to edit something in the templates as well? Please help! This is the forum: www.wegrykampvuur.co.za.

    That would be Sidebar >> sidebar_header_color

      Thank you for the suggestion, but that's not it. I'm asking about the header LINK colour, not the header colour. I've successfully customized the header colour, but I'm still having problems changing the colours of the actual links. The same goes for the tag cloud - all the links are displayed in blue, despite saving the new colour in the admin panel. Here are some screenshots to illustrate the problem:

      I'd really like to know how to change the link colours... please help.

            Hi, kindly look at the screenshots! I have edited the sidebar_header_link_colour, but it's not working!! It displays the right colour in the admin control panel, but not on the forum's front end.

                It would help if you point it out in the screenshot

                  Thank you, but this option does not appear in my stylevars. Check it out in the screenshots below:

                  The sidebar_header_link_colour is edited, but doesn't show up in the links in the second screenshot. Please note that this colour was blue originally and although it looks like I successfully changed it in the backend, it's not displaying the new colour in the sidebars. The fact that it was saved as blue originally leads me to believe that I'm editing the right stylevar and there's something wrong somewhere else.
                  You will also note in the first screenshot that there are no options for sidebar_content_link_colour.

                    It might not be in 4.1.7

                    - - - Updated - - -

                    Try adding this to additional.css and change the color code as you like

                    #sidebar_container a {
                    color: #417394;
                    }

                        Thank you so much! I've finally got it I put the code you supplied into the additional.css template by editing the CSS template. Success! Thanks again.
