Blog heading–– how to change font size and color

[Drosera]

Ok, this may seem like a silly question but I finally got my blog page up through wordpress dashboard, got it all set up with the reading, but cannot seem to be able to change the font and font color of each blog heading.

My entire site has a dark background and white-ish font color. Because I created the blog page without using cornerstone––it’s my understanding that this isn’t possible anyway–– the blog is using my site’s white-ish colors for the text for admin who posted AND the date posted. Therefore, it’s incredibly difficult to see them.Thankfully, my category shows up as black and my blog post title I figured out how to make darker but all of this text is incredibly small.

I understand how to change the font in the post but not the things that sit at the top of each post on the blog. I hope this makes sense. Am I missing something? I feel like I have watched videos and read articles but they don’t touch on this specifically without having to make a child theme and that seems way out of league.

Thank you,
River

Hey River,

It sounds like you wanted to change the heading or post title color. If true, go to Theme Options > Typography and change the Headings color.

That option applies to the Post/Page Title, Widget Title and Headlines of Classic elements and shortcodes.

If that is not what you need, please give us the URL of the page you’re editing and also give us a screenshot of the area you want to edit.

Thanks.

I deleted the last photo and cannot upload another because “the body is too similar” to the deleted post

Hi River,

I can see the page, the excerpt is using body font color. Please change it the color on Theme Options > Typography > Body Font Color

Meta information under each like author, date and categories are also using that font color so it will change together with the excerpt

Font size of the excerpt and default text font size can be adjusted on the same parts too:

For each blog post title font size, it is define on the stack. We can adjust it using custom CSS. Try adding the following on Theme Options > Global CSS

.blog .entry-title {
    font-size: 191%; /* This is based on your root font size. Adjust it accordingly*/
}

For the color, please check previous suggestion by Christian.

Hope this helps.

Oh my! I feel so silly! I really tried to figure this out on my own as much as possible, I swear.

The body and content font color was set to my site text color so I thought that if I change that color, it will change everything on the site and the site would no longer be readable with a dark background. Doh! This is like the ONE thing I didn’t try.

I just changed it and it’s all looking good now. Thanks SO MUCH for all your help with us newbies –– ya’ll are amazing

with gratitude,
River
