• Hi,

    great theme, lots of possibilities. Thanks for that!

    I have trouble however with defining fonts in the css editor, nothing seems to happen.

    this is what i wrote, (i think very basic stuff ?? still very new to this…)

    /* fonts*/
    p {
    font-family: “Arial”, verdana ;
    }
    body {
    color: #030303;
    }

    h1 {
    color: green;
    }

    Is there something i am missing out?
    thanks for your advise.

    Sounds like you’re not using specific enough selectors https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity

    You can find out the right selectors to use with a browser developer tool, like Firebug

    Ok thanks for the tip.

    I installed firebug and it is impressive indeed.
    However not able to find my mistake, from what i see in firebug the right selectors are used…and should show!(the ones that are not crossed trhough?) but then again maybe i am not experienced enough to understand my mistakes.

    I installed a css editor plugin (via jetpack) and this seems to work fine for most H tags, so i am able to define H1, H2 etc. (which i couldn’t do before in the custom css window) But still not possible to define the P or BODY or H7 for instance.

    i need my tekst to be black… so i tried yet another plugin from google fonts which lets me edit all the headings nicely as i want, except for the font sizes! and the definition of the main tekst…

    again a matter of selectors, but i have spend hours searching now, and i just don’t find the location of these selectors, nor their definition.

    I suspect this is some kind of protection to force you to buy the premium theme… if it is, then it would be nice if this was stated clearly somewhere, instead of giving you a very adaptable theme, which makes you spend a lot of time on customizing features and being very happy about it, only to find out that THE most important feature >> to have readable tekst (it is now grayed, not clear on ANY background) is blocked out…

    It has been a two years now since i use wordpress, and when i started, i never encountered these problems, the wordpress philosophy being about open source. Lately i find that nearly all the themes i tried have something to trick you into being forced to buy it…

    Should anyone be able to advise me on how to adapt this one (only the main text > paragraph tag) i would be really gratefull!

    thanks in advance!

    I don’t think the theme would have some protection against using your own CSS. Can you link us to a page that you’re trying to style, and point out specific elements that you want to style.
