Hey Mike, here’s an overview for how to find the CSS for your theme, and it can likely help: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/how-to-find-your-themes-css/
It looks like you may have already changed the menu color. For the drop shadow, you can use something along these lines:
#masthead .site-title a, #masthead p.site-description {
text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px black;
}
Hoping that helps!
Thanks for that it was very helpful. I have changed a few things, but cannot work out the following:
I have changed the post backgrounds – however part of it has remained white – what would the coding be to change this also?
I cannot seem to work out how to change the post title colours – everything I have tried doesn’t work – what coding do I need to change this?
Finally – the links that I have in my posts are a really dark colour – what coding would I need to set this?
Unfortunately my coding is very basic, which is why I cannot seem to figure these ones out.
Thanks so much for all of your help in this – especially with this theme, as everything I know seems to not work in this one, but we really want to keep this theme as it works the best.
Kind regards
Mike
I have changed the post backgrounds – however part of it has remained white – what would the coding be to change this also?
You can use this:
body:not(.single) .format-standard {
background-color: #212121;
}
I cannot seem to work out how to change the post title colours – everything I have tried doesn’t work – what coding do I need to change this?
Use this:
.entry-header .entry-title a {
color: white;
}
Finally – the links that I have in my posts are a really dark colour – what coding would I need to set this?
This will make in-post links the same color as the category links at the top, and of links in your sidebar widgets:
.entry-content a {
color: lightskyblue;
}
You can substitute the color values themselves with whatever you want.
Thank you so much for these – they all worked perfectly. You are an absolute legend 🙂
@kokkieh – I have just noticed that the below has only worked for the main blog page and not for the other pages that I have:
body:not(.single) .format-standard {background-color: #212121;}
Could you possibly advise on what I would need to add to fix the pages also?
Thanks so much for your help.
Kind regards
Mike
Replace that code with this instead:
body:not(.single) .format-standard, .single #primary article.post, .page #primary article.page {
background-color: #212121;
}
Absolute star – thank you soooo much 🙂
