Thank you Sayontan, that was it. Thank you for creating and maintaining an incredible theme.
For you or anyone else, the next thing I am trying to figure out is why the "Home" option on the menu does not follow my custom color scheme, as do all my other menu items. I even tried creating my own menu item to go to the root, but that too, ignores my custom color scheme. And it only does this strange behavior on the "home" page. It works correctly on the single-post views.
I found part of a workaround solution. I made an item that goes to
http://www.theta.newenergytimes.net/index.php, which I believe, can work perfectly. But I would still need a way to kill the default "home" that WP seems to put there.
Can anyone tell me either how to fix the existing "home" or how to disable it?
Any suggestions? TIA
