    Hi,

    The fonts on my site are currently all grey. How do I change them to black?

    Thanks.

    Please look in your child theme's style.css file and change the value for the color property to #000 like this:

    body {
        color: #000;
        font-family: 'Open Sans','Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
        font-size: 15px;
        font-weight: 300;
        letter-spacing: .4px;
        line-height: 2;
    }

    Thanks for your reply. I used the above code but the text remains grey. You can see a sample post here: https://souperdiaries.com/tiger-thermal-magic-cooker-review/

    Btw, why is my child theme's style.css file blank? I just bought the child theme 2 days ago. Is it supposed to be blank?

    Where did you add the CSS?

    1. Are you using any plugins which modify the CSS?

    2. Did you accidently add the CSS to customize.php file?

    Also, please clear all server/plugin/browser caching when modifying/adding CSS to your child theme's style.css file.

    Hi Brad,

    Earlier, I accidentally added the CSS into the customize.php file. I've added it into the child theme's style.css file now. Thanks for your help.
