That ABSOLUTELY does not work. I have done that already and then redid it numerous times hoping one of the times it would catch (no pun intended).
I set the color (as you stated); I go back to WordPress.org; I go to do a new posting page; I put in the header (which goes in as white); I then start to add paragraphs of text AND ALL THE LETTERS ARE THE DEFAULT LIGHT GREY. I have to highlight and change each paragraph to white when I am finished.
I can give you my passwords to check it out if you don’t have any other ideas.
Thank you.
P.S. I am still a newbie but not as angry at myself for not having this work now. Thanks again.
