Earlier version of Swift used HEXADECIMAL colors, but in v7 use switched to RGBA.
We wrote a small plugin to convert v6 colours to v7. Using it is very straight forward.
- Download the plugin from the link below and install it.
- Goto settings -> convert swift colors.
- Hit the convert colours button.
- Now your colors are converted to RGBA.
- We have to generate a new stylesheet with RGBA values, so goto swift design options and click save changes.
This regenerates the stylesheets and you are good to go.
We did not yet migrate the built in colour schemes to RGBA, to use them first activate the colour scheme of your choice and follow the above steps.

PS: We did not put any effort in making this plugin beautiful, as this is a one time thing. So please spare the design 🙂
Step 2, “Goto settings -> convert swift colors”, what settings do you mean? Can’t find the “convert swift colors”..
It will be available under WordPress settings after you install the plugin
Got it, cheers! But actually, the Sayuri theme worked for me BEFORE converting the colours as well. I checked Sayuri two days ago and the colours were fine. Now I just converted the colours, and the site look the same.

It’s due to the older version of PHP you are using.
Update the plugin, download again and try.
