I was able to install the plugin. I set the applicable areas to black and changed the color of the links, as well. I saved the settings and went to the live site and viola! All appears as it should.
Because of your assistance, I now know what to do if an issue reoccurs.
I appreciate your patience and professionalism and wish you a safe and successful new year.
I love this theme and didn’t want to have to find another one.
Thank you so much!
