Font colour

    From inside Pages>All Pages >an existing page, I added text above the photo shown for a Nextgen gallery. The font as it displayed in dashboard was not what I wanted but I used it as a temporary solution. When I visited the site the text displayed in white as I wanted and in the font I wanted (Helvetica) but the size was too small. Back in the dashboard I couldn’t figure how to change the font size.
    I used NeoOffice (word processor) on my Mac to create the text font and size, then copied and pasted it into the dashboard, but when I looked at the site the type was black on a dark grey background instead of white. The only way I have found to get the text on the site to be white is to change the font colour in dashboard to white, which is fine but white text on a white background is not so good when I go to edit the in the future.
    How do I get the type to be white on the site and black in the dashboard ?

    Hi there!

    Its just CSS issue go to your theme style sheet which you can find in
    Appearance > Editor > Stylesheet.css
    try search [CTRL] + [F] “p” tag then place the following code

    p {
    font-size:17px;
    Color: white;
    }

    and if you couldnt find the p tag in stylesheet

    just place this code as follows

    p {
    font-size:17px !important;
    Color: white!important;
    }

    you can change the size of the font by increase the number “17” similarly you can change the color from “White” to Black, red or whatever you like

    Hope it helps

    Thanks for the response. That sounds so easy. I wish I knew something about CSS. My lack of knowledge stopped me at “try search”. Can you give me a simple, follow the bouncing ball explanation ?

    Thanks for the video. After seeing the style sheet in the video and comparing it to the stylesheet in my dashboard, obviously Twenty Fourteen stylesheet and my Photocrati style sheet are quite different. I tried to wing it but after a lot of scrolling I gave up on finding the “body”.
    My error, I did not know enough to specify I am using Photocrati.
    Can get assistance adjusting font, font colour and size,etc.using a Photocrati theme ?

    @mbvc34tu9, Maybe it’s best if you use a plugin to handle your font variations. Does this do what you want: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-advanced/ ?

    If you want assistance for the Photocrati theme vendors then I recommend you follow your theme’s guides here: http://members.photocrati.com/category/documentation-help/custom-css/

    @dashrafi786, I’m sorry we don’t offer support via email, skype, phone number or any other means. It’s okay to say “I don’t know”.

    Thanks for that. Downloaded TinyMCE Adv. Changing the font size worked on some pages but didn’t work on others. Changed the colour to an off white so I can just make out the text in the editor and it stands out as almost white on the site.

    Hey dashrafi786,
    I just can’t leave this as a make do.
    I’m not a CSS user. Would your method work through the Photoctati stylesheet ? If so, where would I enter the code you recommended ?
