  This isn’t a duplicate thread. The first one was a mistake since it said SedonaTeachings. This thread is for Sedona Welcomers.

  Looks like you’re referring to this page:

  Next Meeting

  Heading tags h1 through h6 in your theme are set to be displayed in green.

  You can see that in the site’s CSS:

  h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
      clear: both;
      color: #4e5706;
      font-family: Georgia,serif;
      margin: 1.2em 0;
      padding: 0;
  }

  Since most of the text on this page is set within heading tags, that’s why it’s being displayed in green. I’d suggest removing the heading tags for anything but actual subheadings. Plain paragraphs should be displayed in black. You can remove the heading tags within the Visual Editor by first selecting the affected text, and then applying the Paragraph style. If you don’t see that dropdown menu, display the second row of buttons by clicking the icon at the end of the first row.

  Let me know how it goes!

  Thank you Kathrynwp. I couldn’t find CSS, but I did highlight the words and hit black color and it is right. You gave me an idea, thanks again.

  That’s another workaround. :-)

  If you use plain paragraphs in the future instead of turning your paragraphs of text into headings, they’ll be black instead of green.
