Font color change

[lcarlo1507]

Hi please help on my site i cant change the font color to black from blue.

I tried everything. What am i missing.

using template default

What font ? What page ?

Install the Firefox browser and the Web Developer plugin for Firefox. You can use those to see where in the stylesheet you change the styling of the various page elements.

Ctrl-Shift-Y will allow you to hover over a section of the page and see the class and id names for that section in the box at the top. The statements in the stylesheet that begin with # are id's and the ones that begin with dots are classes.

Ctrl-Shift-E will open the CSS editor and allow you to edit the stylesheet and see the changes in real time without changing anything permanently. An essential tool.

Some prefer Firebug, which does much the same thing.

(If you're using Firefox 4-6, you'll need to remap the editor shortcut, since Firefox has appropriated Ctrl-Shift-E for an internal function - I use Ctrl-Shift-Q.)

using template default

??

What exactly do you mean by "template default" ?

And secondly... how much do you know about CSS?

If you have never "forcibly" (deliberately) selected an alternative template via ADMIN >>> TOOLS >>> TEMPLATE SELECTION, then the template you are using is classic (NOT template_default).

So... my guess is that you are messing about with CSS files in the template_default/css directory.

1. STOP !

2. Restore these to their original files.

3. Go to ADMIN >>> TOOLS >>> TEMPLATE SELECTION, to see what template is loaded, and being used.

4. Use the files in THAT template's folder structure on which to perform edits.

BTW... if it IS classic you are using then better you create a CUSTOM template - for over-ride purposes.
