Light won’t turn off after changing light fixture.
I just changed the fixture about the bathroom mirror. I have 2 blacks, 2 whites, a yellow, a blue and 1 green. I did everything perfect but now my light stays on even when I switch it off. I have rearranged the yellow and blue multiple times and can’t figure what the problem is. I did nothing with the switch.
please help

Welcome to the forums.
We don't know if you are including the light wires in that list.
There are typically always live and switched wires in a box so you've reconnected incorrectly.
Not including your light fixture wires.... what wires were found in the box ?

I didn’t mess with the switch at all. The actual fixture with 1 black, 1 white, 1 copper. The wall has 1 green, 2 black, 2 white, 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 blue. I have no fan actual fan but do have that bathroom sound fan.

You rewired it wrong.
You've taken the switch loop out of the circuit.

Are you saying there is no switch in the wall box? But -
2 blacks, 2 whites, 1 green, 1 yellow, 1 Blue in the box?
OK - I think maybe I had the wrong picture. Maybe it's like joe said and you eliminated the switch loop.
