HTML emailed posts have dark background

  • Is there any way to make the emailed version of the HTML Post *not* be on a dark gray background? I can’t see anything that would be causing that darker background to be in existence via the site’s CSS files. And there seems to be no Settings within Subscribe2 where I could tweak a template or theme of some sort…

    Not sure where else to look? Here’s a sample blog post that sent out an email version of the Post with that dark gray background (instead of a preferred white): https://wearlovenow.com/small-businesses-big-heart/ – please advise? Thank you!

  • @3cstudio,

    Line 55 of your themes CSS file defines the background (or ‘body’) as a dark colour (#545252). You need to use the correct DIVs in your template to cover this over as your theme does or edit your themes CSS (for now and after every update).

    I think theme developers make a high contract between the background and foreground to aid development but I’ve never figured out why they don’t remove this before releasing a final release version.

    @mattyrob — nice find (or not-so-nice?!). ??

    Yeah, I wish I had inherited a site that was built on a child theme! May have to go that route now anyway, as it will always be a continual battle to deal with when (and if?) this theme were to have an update.

    Many thanks!

    @mattyrob, how did you ferret out that line of styles? I’m attempting to use Firebug (and did prior to posting to this forum, as I figured it would be a background of sorts in body or content) to see how/where you figured that out, but not seeing anything jump out at me — just curious for future reference!

    @mattyrob, your note helped greatly — I actually found the true culprit — it was line 51:

    body { background: #4A4848; }

    That element is what is/was killing my emailed post background color!

    Thanks again,

    @3cstudio,

    I was using the Element Inspector in Safari. Still at least you managed to locate the issue.
