How to edit the text color in wordpress

Discussion in 'CSS' started by Kyle101, Jul 25, 2008.

    I don't like the color of the text in my wordpress theme on my post content and i want to change this, but I'm looking at style.css and I don't see the class to edit. Where should I be looking?

    My website is http://www.everyonehatesgas.com

    You'll see what I'm talking about.

    Try changing this: <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">

    to whatever color you want.

    But I'm asking how do I get to that? Like I know when I view source I can see it, but I don't see anything like that in the wordpress admin panel.

    You normally change the color in the stylesheet using the theme editor (Administration > Design > Theme Editor). There won't be a text color option in the admin panel unless the theme designer has made a custom options page. Remove the <p> tags from your posts and change this in style.css
    
    .entry {
    	clear: both;
           color: #333333
    	padding-top: 10px;
    }
    
    Code (markup):

    This is what the default .entry is on my stylesheet:

    
    .entry {
    	clear: both;
    	padding-top: 10px;
    }

    Here's the whole thing if you wanna take a look at it.

    Yeah, just add that color line, and change #333333 into whatever color you want.
    If you're not familiar with color codes, look one up here:
