House 30 years old need help with light fixture?

Question

My daughter want a new light. She had a ceiling fan. So I removed the ceiling fan and replaced it with just a light fixture. Problem is the light stays on all the time. Can't turn it on or off with the switch. I looked at the switch. There are two black wires and a red wire hooked to it. The white wires are in the back of the switch twisted together but NOT attached to the switch. Only the two black wires and red wire are attached to. There are two sets of wires inside the switch. A black wire from one set is attached to the switch then a black and the red wires from the second set is also attached. In the ceiling I have four black wires [wall socket wires} and four white wires then my red. And of course the ground wire. When the ceiling fan was up one of the black wires was attached to the blue wire for the fan. What do I connect that black wire to now? Have tried attaching to all black but doesn't help. Do I need to attach this black wire to the white to turn off and on.

It's not a 3 way switch and have already tried hooking the light fixtured wire to the black wire that the blue wire from the fan was hooked to, didn't work. I'm thinking that since there are 2 black wires and a red coming from the switch then the extra black wire that was attached to the blue wire from the fan should attach to the white wires. Why would you need all the wires from the switch connected together at the light fixture? Seems like the red and one of the black wires would twist together with the other black wires in the light fixture and then the other black wire should attach to the white wires. All my other switches have a white, black and a red wire and the red and black are attach at the light fixtured with the other black wires and the white is attached to all the other white wires inside the light fixture box.

Answer 1

Very simple. Hire an Electrician.
Don't risk burning your house down. It is not worth the risk trying to do electrical work your-self.
People Don't understand the risk they are taking doing jobs like this themselves when they do not know what they are doing.

Answer 2

you had three wire with grnd ran to fixture from switch when changed from ceiling to light you needed to find supply which should be black white and bare copper hook black wire to one side of switch white wires are as they should be in switch box next take red wire out of equation at switch hook only black to other side of switch go to light fixture remove all wires except black to black white to white then switch will work as circuit breaker

Answer 3

is this a three way switch? if not than hook the light fixture wires to what ever wire the blue wire came off of. the blue wire in a celing fan is the wire that turns the light part of the fan off and on
