How to change color and get rid of images in contact area

At the bottom of the built in contact page, there is a section that has a Socrates quote and images of three small heads.

I changed the background from the pixelated image and changed the quote, the author and the color of the author’s name, but still have to problems.

When I try to change the color of the quotation marks, I cannot find a way to select them. When I changed the quote, they moved with the text, but I can’t see where they are.

I can’t for the life of me get rid of those three stupid heads under the quote. When I’m in the backend and hover over them, the only option is to “Click to change” and then I’m sent to the media library to choose another image. I just want to get rid of all three of them OR replace them with a SINGLE image of some kind.

Help?

    Hi ProSapien

    Hope you had a wonderful day.

    When I try to change the color of the quotation marks, I cannot find a way to select them

    Basically these quotation marks are coming from sprite image. You need to download this file: http://monicamooresmith.com/wp-content/themes/uf-luke-and-sara/ui/sprites-v2.svg , edit the quotation marks with any photo editor, and then upload in the same directory again replacing the old file. That's the only way of changing the color of quotations marks right now.

    I can't for the life of me get rid of those three stupid heads under the quote

    These heads are basically selector for different quotes. You can hide them with the following custom CSS Code:

    #active > label {
    
display: none !important;
    
}

    You can add this custom CSS Code in Custom CSS Rules under Theme Settings in Upfront Editor. Please check the attached screenshot for reference.

    Please let us know if you have any confusion. We will be glad to help.

    Have a nice day. Cheers!

    Thanks for the info. My only question on a lot of the design issues is WHY they would be set up as they are? How many people are going to want statue head buttons on their site? It would seem reasonable to make such things easily customizable.

    I found it easier to just get rid of the contents in that area and start fresh.

    Actually it depends on the designer. The same design can be beautiful to some, and weird to some others. When our designers design, they survey first, analyze the design, check design grammars and lots of other things to make sure it’s the best thing there. Somehow it didn’t go with your choice and you had a better idea but we are always here to help you achieve what you love.

    Have a nice day. Cheers!
