Widgets not automatically styled like theme in update
 

Since I updated to Atahualpa 3.6.4, I find that links, etc. are not styled in widgets the same way they are in the rest of the theme.

I've had to go in and set the CSS for the widgets so that the look there matched the rest of the site.

Is there a reason that it is better or necessary for 3.6.4 to be this way as opposed to the way it used to be?

Thanks.

please go to ato->export/import settings and export your settings, then attach them to a reply. That way I can take a look in 3.5.3 and 3.6.4 of your settings and see what you mean.

I added this to the CSS so that the site would behave as it had under the previous version of Atahualpa:

.widget .entry-meta a:link {font-weight: bold;}
.widget .entry-summary a:link {font-weight: bold;}
.widget .byline a:link {font-weight: bold;}
.widget h2.entry-title a:link {font-weight: bold;}
.widget .textwidget a:link {font-weight: bold;}

And I should add that I appreciate your interest and willingness to take a look at it, juggledad. Thanks.

The issue you are seeing is because of an enhancement to the code. See BUGFIX 361-03: Allow Tag widget links to use Atahualpa widget link styling.

Thank you, juggledad.

I may use the fix recommended there, or perhaps I'll note it for future use in case it's needed since I have fixed my immediate issue with additions to CSS.

I have wondered if this was related to this issue mentioned in this other thread of tables not being styled the same in widgets as they are in the rest of the theme.

Thank you again.

The problem with styling widgets is that Flynn (the developer of Atahualpa) has no control of what other people use as their naming conventions. If the widget creates a class of 'banana-frog' there is no way to predict that that class name will be used. This is why, when you go to style a widget, FireBug in FireFox can be your friend. You can see the CSS being used, the ID's and classes, so you can construct the CSS Insert you need.
