Hi,

I’m trying to edit the colour of my title but it refuses to play ball.

I’ve tried it using the option offered under colors but it doesn’t change anything. I’m realising as I write that these options probably offer to change the “header” text that I have already deleted.

To change the colour of the title lettering I’ve used the following css:

.site-title { color: white;
}

I’ve also applied several other transformations including changing the background colour which have all worked fine and I have also used the same code to change the tagline colour with no issues.

I’ve also tried to use “background: transparent;” as per a previous thread complaining of grey tones on their header image, but to no avail.

Any clues as to what’s going on?

Cheers

@the-brink: To change the site title color
Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.

.site-title a {
    color: red !important;
}

You can change the color according to your choice.
Let me know if this is what you want!
Kind Regards,

Brilliant thanks!

I was just missing the “a” after site-title. I’ve just edited it so that it now looks like this:

.site-title a { font-family: arial;
background-color: black;
position: relative;
top: 10px;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
color: white !important;
font-size: 35px;
}

And now it works!

I’m quite new to using css and stuff so I’m still trying to get my head round it all. Do you have any idea why my original code (same as above without the “a”) allowed be to change all other values, just not the colour of the lettering?

Thanks for your help!

@the-brink: Hello there,
Since the text THE BRINK is inside <a href>tag you will need to use .site-title a to be able to change the text color.

Hi Skandha,

Sure, no bother at all. I’ll get right on that.

Do you think you could do me a favour and look at this thread? It’s the main thing holding us back just now from being able to go public with our new website and it would be great to get it done.

Also I was wondering what time zone you guys are working from and what your working hours are? I’ve decided to log in now as this seems to be the time you tend to answer – I think we might be in opposing time zones!

Anyway thanks for your help

@the-brink: Hello there,
I have replied to the thread you mentioned.
We work from GMT(3:15-11:45). We are working in timezone GMT+5:45.

I hope this helps you out!
Kind Regards,
Skandha

[the brink]

ok… so we are basically 12 hours appart as we are in Columbia, 6 hours behind GMT I think!

Are you in India then? Bangalore I’m guessing?

[Skandha]

@the-brink: Nope. We’re working from Kathmandu, Nepal.

Kind Regards,
Skandha

Nice. I was there for a few weeks around the time of the colours festival a few years ago. A really lovely place.

@the-brink: Hope you had a great time here and do come back again. 🙂

Kind Regards,
