How do I change field & font color in text widget?

Coders use something like Firebug to “Inspect Element” so they can know where to find something, but I search my sheet for color numbers and then try them here https://www.colorhexa.com/ while figuring out which one displays where.

I have no idea about this Weaver theme, but you have two options.

1. Edit the style-weaver.css file and locate this CSS class:

input[type="text"], textarea, input[type="submit"] {
[...]
}

And edit it to this:

input[type="text"], textarea, input[type="submit"] {
    background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(255, 255, 255);
}

2. Open up your style.css and find this:
input[type="text"], textarea {

For the “background” property, use this:
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(249, 249, 249) !important;

It’s a bit of a hack, but it should work for you. ??

@joe Manna – Modifying theme files is NOT a good approach – as changes will be lost when the theme is updated. Changes should be made in a child theme or custom CSS option or plugin.

@clarkplaysguitar – the best place for help with Weaver theme is on the developer’s dedicated forums here:

https://weavertheme.com/forum/

@wp Yogi – Agreed. I wasn’t aware of the Weaver theme. Thanks!

To everyone that has replied – thank you for your input. @wp Yogi – I couldn’t get anything from weavertheme.com to come up yesterday, all I got was “site down for maintenance” or the 500 internal server error when I went there, but the link is working today, so I will definitely reach out there. Apparently they got hacked a week or so back and are still recovering.

I was hoping someone here would have a quick & easy solution, but no doubt the weaver forum will be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks again to everyone that replied. ??

Yes, they’ve had some problems lately – though I did check the forum before posting that here.

The solution above may work fine but that CSS should be ADDED to a custom CSS or child theme – to avoid modifying theme files – that’s what I was trying to say above. Sorry if it wasn’t very clear.

I think Weaver theme has a custom CSS option built into the theme so try adding that code there.

I also just wanted you to have benefit of the forums (assuming they are back up) – as the developer offers top-notch help there :).

@wpyogi – Oh, no worries! I knew better than to mess with the style css, and like I said earlier, the Weaver forum was one of the first places I went & they were down at that point. And I was impatient, on top of it.

So here’s what I did: I just grabbed the latest Weaver theme (Weaver II v2.0) and installed that, rather than digging into where the code issue was. Lazy, probably, but wow – easy as pie to tweak the widgets, etc. And now my site is totally presentable again.

Thanks again, everybody, for your replies. And @wpyogi, you’re right – Bruce is a champ, & Weaver support is great.

Best wishes,
Clark

Awesome – good going all around!
