    This is really driving me crazy and i would appreciate a bit of assistance.

    I want to change the colour of the page title but my custom CSS is not working.

    Here is my CSS
    .entry-title {
    background: pink;
    color: green;
    }

    the background colour change is working but the text colour is not changing. When i inspect the element i can see that the colour is being removed.

    i have tried with the h2 in as well then the background colour is ignored.

    I am clearly doing something stupid please can somebody point it out for me.

    Hi, Would you be able to link us to an example page you’re trying to style?

    Hello mnewing,

    Try below css :


    .entry-title {
    background-color: #FF2272 ;
    color: #019002 !important;
    }

    Hope this will helps you.

    i have tried to use the !important tag and it does not help.

    I am setting up a trial site which i could share as this has been done on a client site which i don’t want to make public yet.

    Are you sure you’re using the right selectors? The page title uses the following selectors:

    
.page .panel-content .entry-title, 
.page-title, 
body.page:not(.twentyseventeen-front-page) .entry-title

    Tip: Try to avoid using ‘!important’ rules in CSS. These are a pain to override and will lead to headache later on in development.

    custom CSS is:

    .entry-title {
    color: white; !important;
    background: #5A005A;
    }

    Hi @mnewing, Did you try the selectors I posted above?
    For future I would recommend using a browser developer tool like the one that’s built into Chrome to find the appropriate selectors. For example, if you right-click on the title and select ‘Inspect element’ a toolbar will show you the CSS that is applying to that title – helping you understand the selectors to use: https://developer.chrome.com/devtools#dom-and-styles

    I try below css code by inspecting in your site and it is working.


    .page .panel-content .entry-title {
    background-color: #FF2272 ;
    color: #019002 ;
    }
