Hi Jerry,
You can use custom css to change the css properties. Apply it into your custom css file. Below is an example:

#eb.mod-easyblogshowcase-magazine .eb-gallery-content__meta a {

	color: red !important;

}



#eb.mod-easyblogshowcase-magazine .eb-gallery-buttons .active {

    background-color: red !important;

}

ok - i don't do this often so bear with me (and move this to easblog/general if you need to as that's where i thought i put it!) but create a custom.css in my templates folder and just put that content in there. correct?

i do have an "rt-theme.custom.css" file in my CSS folder. i put this in there and it's not changed. do i need to clear cache or something? i cleared the template cache and my own and it's not changing. i'll keep playing.

Hey Jerry,
My apologies for not specifying the directory.
Generally EasyBlog custom css file can be created in the following directory:
JoomlaFolder/templates/(currentTemplate)/html/com_easyblog/styles/custom.css
Documentation: Refer to EasyBlog Styles CSS Overrides https://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/customizations/template-overriding
If it still does not work, can you provide your backend and ftp access at http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site so I can help you apply the custom css?
Let us know how it goes. Thanks.
