Thanks, that worked! Now I’m just not sure why the plugin “Advanced Appearance” is not making the snippit work. Any ideas on that? (By this I mean that when the plugin is on, the highlight color is brown; when I turn it off, the highlight color is what I asked it to be in the snippet you suggested)
But thanks already!
Maybe I’m wrong (I don’t use it) but I think the “Advanced Appearance” plugin was developed by @kepano mainly for other themes, not for “Minimal” theme itself.
Minimal theme has his own settings similar to “Advanced plugin”.
The behavior you describe reflects some kind of incompatibility…
