Changing widget font colors
-
Hello,
I would like to change the font color for my widgets “Next Update” and “Visit my Twitter page” from black to white. These are the only two widgets I’m using that have black colored font. The rest are already white. Being that my background is dark grey, a black font is very difficult to read.
My website is…

Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS work.

Wow! you guys are fast!
esmi,
Thank you. I bookmarked the Firebug website and will read it in a little bit. This is my first website and I’ve only been working on it for about a month so I really don’t know much about CSS except that I should not play with it. Is this a program that a beginner such as myself can use?Andrew Nevins
I am using “Comicpress GreyMatter”. It’s a theme avaliable on the WordPress site but I don’t know what would make a theme fall under a “custom” category so I can’t answer yes or no.When you find the changes you need to make, it’s best to create a Child Theme and apply styles to the Child Theme stylesheet.
Thanks for that suggestion Andrew. Yes, I still need to do more reading on all of this. I’ve only worked in php a couple of times in the past month.
Alright, after getting assistance from Frumph from the comicpress forum I was able to put together a CSS code that I placed in the Dashboard/Appearance/Edit CSS page.
.sidebar .widget {
color: #fff;
}h4, .sidebar .widget h2 {
border-bottom:4px;
color:#111111;
font-size:18px;
}Thank you both for your suggestions. In time I’ll better understand how to customize a website. But I need to do it in small steps. 😉
