vim ALE error highlighting not changing

Question

I am using a vim pluggin called ALE. But the error and warning highlighting does not go with my theme. So I am trying to change the colour or even switch it off, but nothing seems to work.

None of the following commands work when set in .vimrc

let g:ale_set_highlights = 0 " Disable highligting

highlight ALEWarning ctermbg=DarkMagenta 
highlight ALEError ctermbg=DarkMagenta

highlight ALEError ctermbg=none cterm=underline 
highlight ALEWarning ctermbg=none cterm=underline

This is what my vim highlight colour always looks like:

I am using: 'xterm-256color' And the highlighting only occurs on typescript files.

Possible duplicate of [Override colorscheme](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2440149/override-colorscheme). Your plugin will be sourced after your `.vimrc`, so you can't override plugin colors like this. — Doktor OSwaldo, May 02 '18 at 05:46
@DoktorOSwaldo I figured out that I had another linter running in the background :( — Narayana, May 03 '18 at 15:41

I had another linter running in the background that would alter the settings.

Solved by removing that linter.

Do you know what linter was running that causing this? I'm having similar issues but with a Vue file. – svajone Nov 27 '20 at 07:16
