When I first installed this theme, there were several formatting changes that were required. I was directed to make changes to the custom.css and functions.php files. What I did not realize at the time was that when I updated my theme, all of these changes would be over-written.

I have since created a child theme, which has fixed most of the problems. One issue that I am not sure how to correct in the child theme is the color of the “back to top” button, which does not change to the color I have indicated in the color scheme options of the Blanco theme. I was previously instructed to make the following change to get the correct color:
“To change background color of “Back to top” button you need edit the image wp-content/themes/blanco/images/top.png (use some image editor, Photoshop, for example).”

1- What code can I add to my child theme to make this change so that I do not have to edit the image every time I update my theme?

The Blanco standard color is also still appearing in the following places. Is there code I can add to my child theme to change them to the color of my choice (#990000)?
2- cart total
3- the highlight color of product titles while in the cart only
4- left and right arrows on the carousels on the main page

5- The last issue I am now having is that the best sellers carousel on the main page is not appearing.

Thanks in advance for your help. I have included the FTP credentials in private content.

Hello,

1. You can edit the image and upload it to your child theme folder and write the path to it in child style.css:
```
#back-to-top a {
    background-image: url("path_to_new_image") !important;
}
```
2. Add this code in child style.css:
```
.cart_totals tr:last-child td .amount {
   color: #990000 !important;
}
```
3. Use this css code:
```
.checkout_cart td.product-name a:hover {
  color: #990000 !important;
}
```
4. You need edit the images wp-content/themes/blanco/images/slide_next.png, wp-content/themes/blanco/images/slide_prev.png, upload them to child theme folder and write the path to new images in child style.css:
```
.product-slider .next {
    background-image: url("path_to_image");
}
.product-slider .prev {
    background-image: url("path_to_image");
}
```
5. As written in our documentation https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/blanco/#!/blanco_shortcodes the shortcode for best selling products is used only for WP e-Commerce plugin, not for Woocommerce.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Jack,

Thanks, this helps alot; however, I cannot get the product slider images to update. With the above code, the next slider image doesn’t change and the previous slider looks like a faded arrow that doesn’t change on hover. I got the back to top working fine.

I also found another location that the custom color is not being picked up…on the product prices in the drop down when I hover over my shopping cart in the upper right hand corner.

Thanks,
Monique

Hello,

Please use this code in custom.css:
```
#top-cart .amount, #top-cart .cart-popup .totals .amount {
   color: #990000 !important;
}
```
Please show a screenshot what arrows you’re trying to edit.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Jack,

Thanks…that fixed the drop down 🙂

Here’s a screen shot of the bottom of my home page showing the carousel arrows I am talking about:

And it seems that without adding the code to change them, the left arrow does not work. It does not change to the default color on hover and clicking on it does nothing.

Thanks,
Monique

Hello,

Left arrow doesn’t work because there is nowhere to slide. If you click right arrow, then the left one will be clickable. Please check it.
To change these arrows you need edit images wp-content/themes/blanco/images/slide_next.png, wp-content/themes/blanco/images/slide_prev.png and use this css code:
```
.product-slider .next {
    background-image: url("path_to_image");
}
.product-slider .prev {
    background-image: url("path_to_image");
}
```
Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Jack,

You are correct about the left slider arrow…it is working…my bad! The code you just gave is identical to the code you gave the first time. It didn’t change the arrows, but I did some fiddling and added !important to the end of each line and got it to work.

Thanks for the help!
Monique
