    Hi,

    I just installed the Raindrops theme for a new site. Made a child theme and started customizing. But with every change I make the text color resets back to black. I can change the colors again in apperances/colors, but when I change something again, for example the header or the background color, the text color resets back to black. Never had any problems like this before with Raindrops. Could you please help me?

    Thank you,
    Cindy

    Hi Tahoerock,

    I cleared the cache several times, pretty sure that’s not the problem.
    The url is:

    https://venividivicindy.nl/

    So every time I change or add something in dashboard/customize, all the text colors go black while i set them to grey in dashboard/customize/colors.

    Thank you,
    Cindy

    Can you tell me what part of the text you want to change the color in??

    Your site look like this on my site
    Cheers

    OOoo I can see
    So that would be Q for Theme author, why customizer is working that way.
    Anyhow
    You can hard code all this element by putting it to:

    put this code to your Child Theme style.css file
    OR
    Install Simple Custom CSS plugin and put the code there.
    I’m doing this on my browser to find solution.
    It can get to some different behavior on your site.
    It can happen that it is not working.
    Then we have to look further.

    This is for every

    a

    element on any circumstances.

    a {
        color: white!important;
    }

    This is a samle when you want some specific place to change
    SAMPLE:

    .rsidebar a:link, .rsidebar a:active, .rsidebar a:visited, .rsidebar a:hover {
        color: white;
    }

    or

    .rsidebar a:link, .rsidebar a:active, .rsidebar a:visited, .rsidebar a:hover {
        color: white!important;
    }

    So I hope you will get what you would like to see.

    Sorry I ask again.
    I’ve added

    a {
        color: white!important;
    }

    to the child style.css and it changed most of the colors except some footer text and “posted on” info under the posttitle.
    I don’t know how to change that.

    Thanks for your help and patience so far with me ??

    Hi again,

    I’ve added this in the style.css of the child theme:

    /*
    Theme Name: raindropschild
    Author: VeniVidiViCindy
    Author URI: https://venividivicindy.nl
    Version: 0.1
    Template:raindrops
    */
    
    a {
        color: #ddcece!important;
    }
    .posted-on {
        color: #ddcece!important;
    }
    .post {
        color: #ddcece!important;
    }
    .page {
        color: #ddcece!important;
    }

    and it seems to work. Only the text in the footer is partly black/white and I can’t figure out how to change that.
    could you help me with that?

    Thanks!
    Gr. Cindy

    Btw, if I add the samples:

    .post a:link, .post a:active, .post a:visited, .post a:hover {
        color: white;
    }

    it doesn’t work and the text stays black.

    Hi Nobita,

    That’s the problem. I change the colors in Dashboard / Appearance / Customize/Colors / Font Color. Then when i do another thing in Customize all the colors reset back to black.

    I’ve added the code to Site-wide CSS but see no difference.

    Any idea how to fix the color reset problem?

    Thank you,
    Cindy

    I don’t know so much of it. Could you tell me where I can find lib/customize.js?
    Is that in lib/customize.php or fuctions.php?
    I work with child theme.

    Thanks
