Quick Wordpress fix help please

[Frimley111R]

Hi,

We have a single page WP site which has a very small issue. The issue is that the text on one section has changed from white to black and I cannot see how to turn it back. Would anyone mind doing this quickly for me? I am reasonably competent with WP but this is not the obvious fix i thought it would be.

Thanks

Can you not just edit the relevant template?

presumably a class or equivalent setting - ping me the URL and I will have an outside look initially - may be able to suggest something

Is it in the content of the page? Or the structure (header/sidebar etc)?

Content

Post the URL, if it's in the content this should be a very easy fix.

[Craikeybaby]

If it is in the content, you should be able to edit it in the page/post editor. You may need to press the toolbar toggle, to get the second row of tools, which includes text colour.

Yep but no toggle bar/icon

What version of Wordpress are you running?

It is this icon:

Worse case scenario, switch away from WYSIWYG editing to code editing and put in some dirty in-line CSS

NOOOO!

None of us ever do that, do we...

Send over the url on a DM if you like, happy to take a look.

Thanks all, got someone to do it and even with good skills in WP it took quite a while.

for future reference - using something like Firefox Developer (or equivalent) you can hover over the offending area and it will tell you the css causing it - right down to the file and line number... you can also see every other matching bit of css some of which will have been prioritised etc.

of course, as you say finding the WordPress fix can take time, but finding the issue should always be reasonably fast
