    Hi,

    I am having issues with a sports website I have set up using Sportspress. If you look at the link, the box next to the player photo is the same as the text, but I can’t change this (Ideally I want to change the text colour to black). This happens on all individual player and staff profile pages.

    The theme support tell me it’s a custom CSS issue, despite me not having done anything untoward to cause this, and as a result they won’t help me.

    Does anyone have any idea how I can rectify this?

    Many thanks

    Greetings dman77,

    These type of issues can be frustrating. Here is a few approaches to try:

    1) Write the Theme Developer back and kindly ask them to provide the CSS you can add to your website to resolve the problem. If you are clear & succinct with what you are trying to accomplish, many will shoot you the needed CSS. Then you add the CSS here: APPEARANCE / CUSTOMIZE / ADDITIONAL CSS

    2) Install a plugin called Yellow Pencil. Here is a link to the free version in the WP Repository. It is very popular way to quickly tweak CSS as needed in a visual way. It’s a Visual CSS Style Editor and a great HELP video is here along with a way to download the plugin.

    3) Finally, have you considered using a Page Builder and a Page Builder Theme? These newer tools often eliminate frustrating CSS issues if you are not fluent in CSS because each module comes with an easy way to create the effects needed, kind of a WYSIWYG interface for editing, except there’s a module for everything. I use this setup for my clients now and they love it and contact me less for help with these type issues.

    Here are 3 Page Builders I recommend:

    Elementor: https://elementor.com

    Beaver Builder: https://wpbeaverbuilder.com

    Architect: https://thrivethemes.com/architect/

    Hope something I said was helpful!

    Cheers,
    JD

    Hello,

    Stick this into the custom CSS section of Customizer:

    .sp-template-details dl {
color: #000000;
}
