How to Make Default Font Black

[jackieulmer]

This seems like it should be easy, but in the newer word press editor I can't figure out how to take the default font from dark gray to black.

Beautiful Pro Theme.

Thanks.

PS - I am a NOVICE but can usually handle these type things.

With Gutenberg, what you see in the editor is not necessarily what you'll see on the front end. There are different style sheets for back end and front end.

Beautiful Pro has not been updated to support Gutenberg. It's a significant effort to copy the Gutenberg styles from the Genesis Sample and make them compatible with another theme.

If you're only worried about the color on the front end, use your browser's inspection tool to find the CSS that needs to be changed and edit the theme's style sheet.

Thanks Victor. As I mentioned, I am a novice, so I'm not sure what this means -

"If you're only worried about the color on the front end, use your browser's inspection tool to find the CSS that needs to be changed and edit the theme's style sheet."

I can't believe it's so difficult to make the default color black, which is pretty typical I would think?

Thanks!

Hi there,

You can set those defaults using a couple functions. You’d likely need to make your own plugin and network activate it for it to work across the network. This plugin is great for creating plugins: https://wordpress.org/plugins/pluginception/

To change the body background color and default footer widgets, you could do this:

add_filter( 'generate_option_defaults', function( $options ) {
$options['background_color'] = '#000000';
$options['footer_widget_setting'] = '0';

return $options;
} );
By font color, do you mean your content text color? If so, are you wanting the content area to have a black background instead of the body?

Everything -

body {
  color: #000;
  font-weight: normal;
}

or just paragraph text -

.entry-content p {
  color: #000;
  font-weight: normal;
}

This is helpful. Where would I place this code? I used to know how to change it in the CSS files but everything has changed so much I can't even find it.

I am not a professional word press site builder, just small sites and updates so a lot of this is WAY over my head. Thanks!

Add the CSS to the WordPress customise section - 'Additional CSS'

Notice the font-weight: normal; , the font-weight is set to 200 by deafult in the theme , were changing that because at 200 it's very light and even with black text it looks a bit grey still and you might think it hasn't changed ... so adjust that to suit.
