  Hi,

  Is it possible to change the color of the button ‘Older Posts’ in my theme (I use Flounder)? The text ‘Older Posts’ is NOT readable. I tried changing the background color, but to no avail.

  Thanks.

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

  The only way I can figure out is changing your background colour. The text on the read more is influenced by your choice of background colour. by changing the colour to something more visible, you should be able to read your text!

  Thank you. But no, I already tried that. The color of text ‘Older Posts’ is just wayyy too much lighter against its button’s color.

  Hi Cherry,

  I’m waiting to hear back from the team on a fix but, in the meantime, I have temporarily added Custom Design options to your site. This then allowed me to add the following custom CSS to set the text on the button to white:

  #infinite-handle span {
      color: #fff;
  }

  I’ll remove the options (which are usually only available as part of the WordPress.com Premium or Business plans) when I hear back from the team on a more permanent fix.

  Thanks!

  Hi siobhyb,

  Super wow!! This is so wayyy so much better. A VERY BIG thanks for your very quick fix. I’m still looking forward to your team’s permanent fix, but I really love your temp fix and I hope we can just already keep it :=) Again, thank you.

  I meant, we can just keep the white color, and you can just remove the CSS option then :=)

  Hi Cherry,

  I’m happy to report that the permanent fix for the “Older Posts” button’s colours has been rolled out. :) I’ve now removed Custom Design from your account.

  Let me know if you have extra questions or if we can be of help with anything else.

  Thanks!
