    I'm working with the Academy Pro theme and have an issue I've never seen before.
    On the pages or posts where we add or update information, the Gutenberg blocks are invisible. They are there, but the block colors are white and cannot be seen against the background color of the page. So, it is almost impossible to find the blocks I want to use.

    I only just got started on this project and haven't made any changes in the code or CSS that might be contributing to this. I am on WordPress version 5.2.2 and Genesis framework version 3.0.3.

    You can't see this by looking at the site. You have to be editing a page or post.

    Hi,

    This is just to try and direct you to the answer you're looking for, Gutenberg should already be available for WordPress themes that are in WP version 5.0 and above.

    I guess your question requires you adding some codes in your functions file. Try googling it, you may be able to specify the color you want.
