I’m using the lifestyle theme of newspaper. Changing the link color in global settings does not work on the live site. When previewing the site in WordPress ‘appearance’, it works fine. No caching issues. Other colors update immediately. Just doesn’t work on links (menu bar, post title hover, etc.)
Hello,
The lifestyle demo as well as other demos, will provide specific colors for different elements that are grabbed by the theme accent color instead.
Thank you!
Thanks Bogdan. Do you know the CSS override for this accent color?
I don’t understand why everything works great (the accent color is applied everywhere) when editing the site in WordPress ‘Appearance/Customize’. But on the live site, things like header underlines, tag backgrounds, hover colors, and selected menu items all have the default theme color.
Hi,
The theme accent color can be set in the theme panel

The color set there will be used in multiple places, including the header underlines you mention, various hovers etc.
In the case of links, if you set a color for them as you create them

Then that will be used instead of the accent color. If you want to change them all at once, in the post content for example, without modifying the accent color, you could use some CSS

Some demos can override theme panel colors, by setting them in the demo stylesheet. if you have any problems with a color somewhere, provide a link to that page and details.
Thanks
Theme settings have the correct colors applied. This is definitely an issue of the Lifestyle theme demo in Newspaper overriding the elements I described above. How do I force the demo stylesheet to conform to global theme colors? Do I have to go in one-by-one in CSS and try to force the colors? TagDiv needs to address this issue in the Lifestyle theme demo.
The lifestyle demo does indeed set some colors in it’s stylesheet

This may prevent theme panel colors from applying. All the demos contain customization, more or less. You can modify the demo stylesheet if needed, then make a backup of it.
What colors are you referring to exactly? For example the header menu underline is made transparent in the demo here

This header customization is linked to a specific header style most of the time. As long as header style 1 is used the demo modifications will apply for the header.
