Lingering Issues with version Cards theme 1.8

[jfmartin67]

See screenshot. Kudos not working (do have use the embed javascript call or should I switch to the official Tinylytics plugin? Not sure anymore. Currently I use the one line javascript call.

The "hover" color on button, hyperlinks is still brown... but I do have a custom config.json file in a custom theme (the only file override) and still doesn't work. Many full site rebuilds don't fix the issue either.

See my custom config.json file:

config.json

Just a new info: when using the dark mode, the hovering color is horored. Weird. Try it with blog.numericcitizen.me in both modes.

What does you plugin settings look like? There are now two separate "Hover" colors. One for the body area and one for the card itself.

Here is the default config file with all the latest settings.

The config.json file is the one I uploaded (associated with the custom theme that contains only one file). I even tried to change the one from the theme plugin itself to see what would happen and nope... still not working. How strange is that?

consider watching this short video to have a look at the issue. Thanks.

Thank you for the helpful video.

I think part of the confusion is that the Category/Tag border and text color use the values from the "Card", not the "Body" parameters. I did this because I thought the tags looked better when they matched the Card colors.

Your Card Hover is currently set to #d58400 which is the orange/brown default color.

Please try updating your custom config file and change the light_card_hover_color parameter to your blue #00a3d7 and see if that helps.

Long-term, I'll need to think about this further. My goal was to have a different "accent" and "hover" colors for the Body separate from the Cards. Maybe that's too much? Maybe tags need their own color configuration?
