    Hi there,

    I recently asked for some help in order to change the background of the widget where you see the book cover ---> http://www.fragosodopaco.pt/
    I was suggested to use the following code snippet:

    .content .widget-full .featuredpage .entry {
    background-color: #F9F9F9 !important;
    }

    The background is now white just as I wanted. However, because the text kept the white colour it previously had, it's now impossible to read. I've managed to turn the main text black, but I'm having troubles to do the same to the title and the "Read More" button. Could someone give me a hint?

    Kind regards

    Please learn how to use Firebug or Chrome dev tools to inspect different HTML elements in your browser, find the CSS rules which style different elements and then modify the CSS to change the stylng. https://www.studiopress.com/using-firebug/

    Example:

    .content .widget-full .featuredpage .button {
    	border-color: #333;
    	color: #333;
    }
