Okay, I bought a blog (in my signature). I am working on a redesign for it now. The text in the current blog posts is white, but the background colour in my new design is going to be white. Obviously this would make the text invisible. The colours have been put into each post using the colour codes, not by css. I've no experience of changing a blog template like this as this is not the way I would have done it. Whats the easiest way change this all over? There's 1600 posts so I'm hoping they don't all need manual editing!
Unless they embedded the code in each post (which would suck) you can just change the design template in Wordpress by clicking on Design > Theme Editor. Then take a look for those font color codes in Main Index Template, Single Post, etc.
I can change the main text with that, but I think some of it that has been manually formatted in white will be invisible unless I can find a way to bulk edit them.
Wow, that's a real headache. That was very bad practice of the last owner to format the text like that. I haven't tried it, but perhaps a plugin like the one at wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/ could help you to find all that terrible code and replace it with, well, nothingness in its place.
Thanks, I'll look into it. The original owner outsourced the design, its not a major problem. I'll try that plugin.
