    How would I change the font color of the home page title (Barking Up The Wrong Tree)? I want to change it from dark gray to black to match the text on the page. I did a chat with WordPress and they gave me a code but it didn’t work. Thanks! Karen

    Hi there,
    Looks like your site is in private mode and therefore, i cannot help you out with the exact code but here’s the general idea:

    EXAMPLE:
    Let’s say you have this code for the home page title:
    <div class="page-title">Barking Up The Wrong Tree</div>
    and it initially has this CSS code with a gray font color: 

    .page-title {
   color: #cccccc;
}

    Then to change the color to black, just edit or add the color CSS property, like this: 

    .page-title {
   color: #000000;
}

    #000000 is the color code for black.

    If this is not working, it maybe happening because this color is being overwritten by some other color which has !important add to it’s code, so to force color change just add !important to your color code like this: 

    .page-title {
   color: #000000 !important;
}

    Hope this helps :)

    I am setting up a new blog site on WordPress & have chosen the free McKinley Theme. I have a gray background but do not know how to choose a color for the interior portion of the page, which includes the top banner and lower banner. It is stuck on – blue!
    Can you help?

    Well, if your theme has the support for custom colors. Maybe you can try using that feature to choose different colors for your site.

    Hi @afinelyne, I do not see that you have the WordPress.com Premium Plan upgrade, which has Custom Design and the ability to add Custom CSS, which is what would be required to add a color to the content area on your site.

    Also, you are using a different theme than being discussed in this thread, and since CSS is generally theme specific, can I ask you to create a new thread in the CSS Forum? Many thanks in advance.
