How can I change the text colour to black?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I used The Sempress Theme template to create my blog at franklandauthor.wordpress.com

    However, the headline to my first post, and the text at the foot of the page, appears blue.

    I want all text to appear black. How do I change it?

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

    Hello there! As this is a design element created by the theme’s designers, the only way to adjust this font color is to upgrade to Custom Design:

    If you choose to do this, I can give you the CSS code needed to change the titles’ color.
    Let me know what you decide. Many thanks!

    Hi, Robyn. I’ve upgraded to Custom Design as you suggested, thank you.

    The CSS code would be good. However, I’m not a techie and don’t feel confident I’ll know what to do with it.

    Hi there! I will step you through it, and I’ll make it painless :)

    1. In your site’s Dashboard, click Appearance → Customize.
    2. You’ll see a menu on the right-hand side of the page. Click CSS.
    3. Replace all the existing text in the CSS Revisions box with the following:

      a {
      color: #000000;
      }

    4. Then click Save.

    That should do the trick! You are now a website developer!

    Thank you so much.
