Help with CSS code

Hey Mike, here’s an overview for how to find the CSS for your theme, and it can likely help: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/how-to-find-your-themes-css/

It looks like you may have already changed the menu color. For the drop shadow, you can use something along these lines:

#masthead .site-title a, #masthead p.site-description {
    text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px black;
}

Hoping that helps!

Thanks for that it was very helpful. I have changed a few things, but cannot work out the following:

I have changed the post backgrounds – however part of it has remained white – what would the coding be to change this also?

I cannot seem to work out how to change the post title colours – everything I have tried doesn’t work – what coding do I need to change this?

Finally – the links that I have in my posts are a really dark colour – what coding would I need to set this?

Unfortunately my coding is very basic, which is why I cannot seem to figure these ones out.

Thanks so much for all of your help in this – especially with this theme, as everything I know seems to not work in this one, but we really want to keep this theme as it works the best.

Kind regards
Mike

I have changed the post backgrounds – however part of it has remained white – what would the coding be to change this also?

You can use this:

body:not(.single) .format-standard {
  background-color: #212121;
}

I cannot seem to work out how to change the post title colours – everything I have tried doesn’t work – what coding do I need to change this?

Use this:

.entry-header .entry-title a {
  color: white;
}

Finally – the links that I have in my posts are a really dark colour – what coding would I need to set this?

This will make in-post links the same color as the category links at the top, and of links in your sidebar widgets:

.entry-content a {
  color: lightskyblue;
}

You can substitute the color values themselves with whatever you want.

Thank you so much for these – they all worked perfectly. You are an absolute legend ??

@kokkieh – I have just noticed that the below has only worked for the main blog page and not for the other pages that I have:

body:not(.single) .format-standard {background-color: #212121;}

Could you possibly advise on what I would need to add to fix the pages also?

Thanks so much for your help.
Kind regards
Mike

Replace that code with this instead:

body:not(.single) .format-standard, .single #primary article.post, .page #primary article.page {
  background-color: #212121;
}

Absolute star – thank you soooo much ??

Glad I could help ??
