Many thanks! I tried “.navbar a” and it didn’t work, but it worked when I added "!important", so I figured there must be Bootstrap rules that are a lot more specific so they’re being used. So I removed the “!important” and tried “.navbar ul.navbar-nav li a” and that seemed to work for most of it, and “.navbar a.navbar-brand” for the “Brand.” It looks like I have a lot more selectors to find and use, but at least now I think I know how to proceed.
Would there be a disadvantage to just using the .navbar a { color:white !important; } though? Sure would be easy. Thanks again!
