    Hi Col234,

    Could you take a screenshot of the issue you’re experiencing so I can get a better idea of what is happening?

    Just posted another thread to clarify more about the issue with same link as i68. Please if need be, that post can be closed (as resolved)

    Hi Col234,

    I suspect it has to do with your CSS. Your selected selector will, in theory, target anything that doesn’t have the .button class attached to it. I also suspect this is affecting the highlighting overall so you might have to comment it out to see if this fixes the issue.

    Hello Alex,

    Apologize, but I have to admit I am just new to all this and have strong willingness to learn.
    We are using Siteorigin CSS and how can we “”comment it out to fix the issue?””
    Kindly guide to sort out this issue.

    What we are trying to do here is:

    Please see below links
    We are trying to delete the space between this area

    We are trying to make these three buttons of same width
    [IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/dcuhcj.jpg[/IMG]

    And try more beautiful stuff with Siteorigin CSS around our site.
    But till we wont know how to fix the cursor issue or understand limitations of using Siteorigin CSS in comparison to our wild thoughts of making changes to our site. If the above changes are not possible by Siteorigin CSS then we can surely rest it to peace if such changes are ‘impossibile’

    Hi Col234,

    Sorry! I should have been clearer. Commenting out CSS is to wrap the CSS block in /* COMMENTED CSS HERE */ for example, the following CSS which will normally make the .example class have a red text.

    .example {
        color: #f00;
    }

    Now to the CSS I would wrap it in the aforementioned /* */.

    /*
    .example {
        color: #f00;
    }
    */

    Notice how the above CSS doesn’t have syntax coloring? That’s due to it being treated as a comment.

    Also, I can help you with the changes you want to make. Do you have a public URL? If you need to keep this URL private from other users, just select “Private Reply” on the bottom right of the comment box.

    Hi Col234,

    Thank you for the kind words. Please find, and comment out, the following CSS:

    .site-footer a:not(.button) {
    	color: #666666;
    }

    That should fix your issue, and if it doesn’t we’ll look into other options to try and resolve it.

    Hi Col234,

    Would it be possible for you to create a temporary admin account for us so we can log in and take a look? You can create the account with the following email address:

    [email protected]

    Just navigate to UsersAdd New in your WordPress admin. Enter siteorigin for the username and [email protected] for the email address. Make sure you’ve selected Administrator for the role and enabled the Send Password field so we receive the details.

    Once we’re finished taking a look, you can delete this account. We’ll let you know when to do that.

    Hi Col234,

    WP Lightbox 2 looks to be a decent alternative. I cannot personally vouch for it though but basic testing suggests no issues.
