    Dear team

    I managed to customize position and text size of the post slider with below mentioned CSS. However, what I would like to do is:

    – Change text color
    – have a background color of the post slider text
    – have a customizing possibility for each single post slider

    How can I do that? Moreover, is there an basic tutorial for basic CSS changes somewhere available?

    Thank you very much for your support
    Fabio

    .slideshow .text-holder {
    text-align: left;
    }

    .slideshow .headline .a {
    font-family: serif;
    font-size: 40px;
    }

    .slideshow .excerpt {
    font-family: serif;
    font-size: 40px;
    }

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello there,

    Here’s a getting started CSS guide with helpful links to continue learning at the end https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/css-basics/

    Would you mind pointing to the specific location of the post slider? (Guessing it is the main page slider, but want to be doubly sure).

    Thanks,
    Sage

    Hi Sage

    Thank you very much for the CSS-basic website which is a perfect place for me to learn and test step by step new CSS Things :-)

    And yes, my questions are all related to the main post slider on the Homepage of http://www.transform-digital.ch

    Do you have any feeback on that?

    Best
    Fabio

    Hey Fabio,

    This should help with the slides: 

    /* Slide title colour */
.slides .headline a {
	color: #5fb689;
}
/* Slide content text colour */
.slides .excerpt p {
	color: #72a6b6;
}

/* Adds a background colour to the slide, edit the last number (.5) for opacity (1.0 to 0) */
.slides .text-holder {
	width: 100%;
	max-width: 537px;
	background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.5);
	padding: 20px;
}

    Then if you’d like to specify a specific slide you need to get the post id. Guide here (the way they show you it’s easiest to find when using the actual wp-admin dashboard instead of the default wordpress.com one)

    The ids for the three posts you have in there are:
    .post-459
    .post-456
    .post-444

    When specifying a single post you can use the code I’ve given above and place the id after “.slides” like so: 

    .slides .post-459 .excerpt p {
	color: #72a6b6;
}

    Please let me know if that doesn’t make sense or if you have any other questions!
