  @stixfigures Hi there,

  What is the URL of your website or what is the name of your account on the WordPress.com platform you need assistance with?

  Hi there,

  Indeed, it is not published yet. Thanks for providing your site URL.

  It looks like your site is not hosted with WordPress.com but elsewhere:
  https://www.whoishostingthis.com/#search=www.aleagueofourown-book.com

  Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers.

  Have you got any experience with CSS? Altering it would allow you to change the colour of the header. Here is a resource:
  https://www.w3schools.com/css/

  Hint: the answer is included in the first example you can see on the page I shared above. :)

  https://wordpress.org/support/ is a great resource for sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  I hope that helps :)

  The site is hosted by domain.com but I can get to the back end of WP through it. I’m a bit intimidated by CSS and not confident I can do this properly, so I’ll see if I can find help elsewhere.

  But all of the above is also helpful, thanks. Maybe one other thing. The image I’m using on the front page is too big for the space. I’ve tried making it smaller, but that doesn’t seem to help. Is there a way of sizing the image perfectly? i.e., how do I find the exact size of the photo space on the home page? Thanks again.

  You are welcome :)

  Just browsed your website http://www.aleagueofourown-book.com and it says on the homepage that you are using MOJO Marketplace, so getting in touch with them is where I would start.

  Hope this helps a bit further!

  I put the site live, hoping you can help re: making the header text on the home page red. I couldn’t figure it out from your previous post (my WP skills are a 2 out of 10). I’ve contacted MOJO about the image size. Would you mind just having a look at the site as well and seeing if there are any technical issues from your perspective? Thanks again, Andrew.

  @ stixfigures Hi there,

  hoping you can help re: making the header text on the home page red

  Try the following code:

  /* Change header color on homepage - 10t */
.post-5 .entry-title {
color: red;
}


  As for you other question:

  Would you mind just having a look at the site as well and seeing if there are any technical issues from your perspective?

  The website is not currently using an SSL certificate and there are improvements to be made on the accessibility side and SEO.

  Here are some related screenshots from the tests I run:
