title and testimonial text to be black by default

Sorry this is more clear

title = black
testimonial text = black
name (appears on bottom right) = black
company link (appears on bottom right) = black

custom field called job title = I need it to appear on bottom right + black font

Try this in your theme stylesheet or custom CSS:

.testimonial,
.testimonial-widget {
  color: #000;
}

Add the job title field on the Client Section tab of the Settings page. If the field name is “job_title” then the shortcode would be:

[wpmtst-text field="job_title" class="job-title"]

Use the “job-title” class in your stylesheet or custom CSS if you want to make it italic, bold, etc.; otherwise it’s optional here.

hi Chris,

Thanks for the quick response,

here’s what i have on my testimonial page

[wpmtst-text field=”job_title” class=”job-title”]
[wpmtst-all]

[wpmtst-form]

but the job_title field still doesn’t appear on lower right corner for each testimonial any ideas?

The job title shortcode goes in the box under “Client section shortcodes:” on the Client Section tab of the Settings page. I’m sorry if it’s confusing; it will be replaced with a better tool soon.

not at all, I’m very grateful for your work Chris!

thank you, it worked beautifully

Cool. Thanks for choosing Strong.

is there anyway to change the color of the company link to orange?

the custom CSS i use makes links light blue for all pages, but I only want to change the company link in my testimonial page

text = orange
hover over text = light orange

#wpmtst-container .company a {
  color: #f07d28;
}
#wpmtst-container .company a:hover {
  color: #f07d28;
}

That’s the orange from your Feedback widget. To find a light orange you prefer, have a look at this color wheel.

that did it, thanks again Chris.

Dear Chris,

My website has a black background and white letters, and the background of the testimonial is also white.
This causes that I could not read the text, white on white!
I have a child theme and this helped for the content, but not for the title:
/
.testimonial,
.testimonial-widget {
color: #000;
}
/
Can you please help me out?
This is the page where the testimonials will be displayed:

Thanks in advance

Try this:

#content .testimonial h3 {
  color: #000;
}

or this if you want to make the title bigger too:

#content .testimonial h3 {
  color: #000;
  font-size: 22px;
}

If you would like some help making the testimonials better match your theme, please start a new forum topic and I will be glad to help.

good morning!

i built a simple testimonial page with strong testimonials (great plugin!).
i installed simple CSS to make some nice custom changes to the page.
i still can’t figure out how to change the color/style of the font and text of the actual testimonials.
the default setting for the testimonial text is yellow italic, and i’d like to play around with a better combo for our theme (YooTheme, Everest): https://katharinebierceyoga.com/testimonials
please advise on how to change the color and to change from italic to strong or plain, etc.

thanks so much.

Thanks!

That theme adds color to <em> so override that like so:

.strong-container .content em {
    color: #FFF;
}

Alternatively, remove the <em>‘s and style the text directly, like so:

.strong-container .content {
    font-style: italic;
}

you rock! getting your ‘awesome person of the week’ award engraved now. happy weekend :-))
