Increase size of post title

Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes. Or install a custom CSS plugin.

I did create a child theme. How can I change the color of the post title? You have them listed as “emerald” rather than a hex code. I want to use a custom color. I’m not sure how to add that to the options. I’d like to use #3399CC.

You have them listed as “emerald” rather than a hex code

I am not the theme’s author. What exactly is the current CSS?

This is how the options section reads:

function optionsframework_options() {

	// Test data
	$color_scheme = array(
		'green'     => __('Green', 'sugarspice'),
		'emerald'   => __('Emerald', 'sugarspice'),
		'mint'      => __('Mint', 'sugarspice'),
		'peach'     => __('Peach', 'sugarspice'),
		'pink'      => __('Pink', 'sugarspice'),
		'red'       => __('Red', 'sugarspice'),
		'violet'    => __('Violet', 'sugarspice'),
		'babyblue'  => __('Baby Blue', 'sugarspice'),
		'orange'    => __('Orange', 'sugarspice'),
		'yellow'    => __('Yellow', 'sugarspice'),
	);

You shouldn’t touch anything in the theme’s files. What exactly is the current CSS?

I’m not sure what you’re asking. The entire CSS? I can’t find anything in the CSS to directs to emerald.

It might help if you provided a link to a page demonstrating the problem.

My blog is https://www.bcarriedaway.com. The theme has options for colors. They’re very limited. I want to add another color to the options so I can change the color of my post headline. I don’t see font color indicated anywhere in the CSS. It’s all done through theme options – but as I showed above, that’s how colors are designated in the options.

You need to add your own CSS via a child theme or custom CSS plugin to change the post title colours. Right now, you don’t seem to be using either.

I do have a child theme but it is not yet activated. What I’m asking – is how to include a new color in the options since the current ones are listed by color , not hex color. I’m not a coder so I’m looking for someone to explain this to me.

You cannot just make a few changes in the child theme to create a whole new colour profile. Unless you intend to delve quite deeply into some advanced theme development, then you’ll need to make the changes using CSS via a child theme or a custom CSS plugin.
