  I’m using a theme where the page title is displayed over top of a feature image. I cannot figure out how to change the color of the text (which is currently white) Going into theme options for typography does nothing…

  Best I could get is I was able to change the colour of the underline by editing “background” of the css below.

  .inner-slider h1:after {
  content: ”;
  width: 130px;
  height: 8px;
  background: #BDBDBD;
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  }

  If it helps I think this is the php code (in functions.php) where the title is coming from:

  >

  <?php if( $opt_page_title ) { ?>

  post_title; ?>

  </div>
  </div>
  </div>
  <!– /.row –>
  </div></div>
  </div>
  <!– /.content-wrapper –>
  <?php } ?>

  Hi @kano17,

  Just to help get you sorted out here, a couple things.

  First, you need to provide a URL to the homepage or site you need help with before anyone can help you out.

  Second, going off the fact that you even mentioned PHP code and a functions.php file is a sure sign you’re probably operating a self-hosted WordPress site.

  Currently, you are in the WordPress.com Support Forums, which provides support for WordPress.com hosted sites only. There are big differences between self-hosted WordPress sites and WordPress.com hosted sites, so please refer to the following support document to learn more about that.

  Also, please redirect your question to the WordPress.org Support Forums, which is where you can find help for self-hosted WordPress sites.

  Please note, you’ll need a WordPress.org account to post in the forums there. If you don’t have an account, you can register for one here:

  Sorry I didn’t provide a link because the owner of the site wants to leave it in maintenance mode.

  Found a solution though if someone else has similar issue – I found the css class for the element that the title seemed to be within & set the color property from there.
