• I have been reworking the code on my site- onehouseschoolroom.com, which is always dangerous, but I am stuck trying to change the post title color and size. I have tried adding to the CSS style sheet, but that didn’t work and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. HELP!!

  • Hi Jennw,

    Your site looks awesome. Congratulations.

    Add following code to your style.css

    h2 a {
    color: red; /* you can replace red with color that you like */
    font-size: 30px; /* change font-size to your choice */
    }

    This will do the trick for you.

    Cheers 🙂

    Thanks Tejas. I tried the code above and it didn’t make any changes when I previewed it. Any other suggestions? This is driving me crazy!!

    Hi Jenny,

    When I tried locally it worked.

    If you trust me and give me login id and pwd, ll try to fix that for you.

    You can then change your pwd.

    Hi Jenny,

    Bingo! It’s done.

    Plz check

    http://www.onehouseschoolroom.com/

    P.S. I have one suggestion, never use id as “admin”… you can easily fall prey to hackers.

    Cheers 🙂

    Tejas

    you may now change your pwd 🙂

    jennw? Please excuse me as I get dramatic for a moment.

    Do not ever provide anyone with login credentials on an open forum on the Internet again.

    Seriously, you just opened up your blog to the entire Internet. Change that user ID and password right now. If you are not already hacked then you will be soon enough.

    I know you are trying to solve your problem and that’s very cool. It’s not easy to seek help in public but what Tejas Gandhi asked you to do put your installation at grave risk. Do not trust anyone that way on the Internet. It’s just not safe.

    *Jan drinks more coffee*

    @tejas Gandhi I appreciate that you are trying to help. Honestly.

    But if you ask other users to post or send you their login ID again then you will risk having your account here blocked.

    Yes it’s that serious and yes please do not ever do that again.

    If you want to help in these forums (and I applaud that!) then please walk users through using words here in these forums only. It’s harder that way but much safer for everyone.

    Edit: I’ve also deleted the post where you put your hourly rate. These forums are not for soliciting paid work.

    Hi Jan

    I got your message and honestly appologize for the mistake.

    My only intention was to help her.

    First I posted code for her to do the necessary by herself but when she wasn’t able to do by herself, I asked for credentials and if you would have noticed, I myself asked her to change her password and also id immediately as I finished editing her css file.

    In noway I ever even think of harming anybody on this forum but I understand your concern.

    My only and only intention purely was to help.

    Anyways I ll make sure this is not repeated.

    Sorry @jan, @jennyw for the inconveniency caused.

    Cheers 🙂

    In future if you find someone cannot make the changes themselves then that is just a limit they have on these forums. You can’t do anything about it. All you can do on forums is give advice. If someone needs someone else to do the work for them you can forward them on to http://jobs.wordpress.net , where they can receive the appropriate level of support that these forums just cannot provide.

    By the way the CSS change should never have been made in the style.css file itself, so you never actually needed to access her dashboard.

    It’s just a CSS change so you could have responded as so:

    Install this Custom CSS Manager plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin

    Then use its “CSS Code” section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications:

    /* The CSS change */

    jennw, I hope you’re aware that any changes you make to the theme’s files will be erased when the theme updates.

    @andrew Nevins,

    Thanks for inputs.

    When I suggested changes in style.css file, I referred to making changes in child theme, as she already was using a child theme.

    But, the plugin you suggested would be of great help to all the people here on the forum.

    Thanks once again for suggestion.
