When you say you “added the code to the CSS,” do you mean the theme’s style.css file? What is the rule that you added? Oftentimes what you see in the Visual editor won’t necessarily be the same on the site, because the Visual Editor does not bring in the theme’s stylesheet. The Visual editor will give you an approximation of relative sizes and styles.
Yeah I meant to say added it to the style.css
I was using this to do it
#para1 {
text-shadow: 2px 2px #000000;
}
I’m not sure where you got the para1 ID from, I don’t see an element with that ID in the source. If you want to just shadow the main text in the middle, change #para1 to .home-headline.
You should also know that making changes to the theme files is not recommended. If the theme gets updated because of feature enhancements, bug fixes, or security patches, or if the theme has to be updated because of a change to the WordPress core, then your changes will be lost. Instead, either create a child theme or use a CSS plugin like Jetpack or Custom CSS Manager. Or use the theme’s custom CSS option if it has one.
Great! I appreciate that!
If I wanted to add it to the subtitle on the page too, how would I do that?
Change the selector to .home .textwidget instead.
Great! I really appreciate the help.
