Missing title and site description

Hi Brian. Your site is looking good…;-) The “.site-title a” element and “.site-description” class both have the color set to white. Change the color and you should be ok.

Thanks for the quick response.

How could they have become set to white? Also, how do I change that to black or dark grey?

I am using the child theme so not sure how to correct this problem.

Thanks,
Brian

They’re being styled by the default theme css. If you set the header background to white in Theme Options > Styling then they are essentially hidden. Since it doesn’t look like you’ve made any changes in your child theme yet I’d recommend replacing your current child theme with the preconfigured child theme from the theme website. Let me know if you need instructions or help with that.

You would style the two elements like this:

/* change title and desc to black */
.site-title a, .site-description {
  color: #000;
}

Or, you could set the title to black and the description to a “lighter” shade by using rgba:

.site-title a {
  color: #000;
}
.site-description {
  color: rgba(128,128,128,0.5);
}

I may have created the child theme with the wrong settings. When I did it on the practice website, I saw a link somewhere that told me to download Child Theme Configurator. It also may have mentioned what settings to use when creating the child theme. I saw neither of those things when I installed Hueman this time.

Yes, I need help on figuring out on where to place this code.

Thanks.

You don’t need the Child Theme Configurator plugin.
1. Activate a different theme, like the default WP Twenty Fifteen theme.
2. Delete your current Hueman child theme.
3. Activate the parent Hueman theme.
4. In Theme Options, click the Help tab in the upper right-hand corner.
5. One of the options is to Download the sample child theme. This will download the child theme zip file to your local computer.
6. Go to Themes and Add a new theme, but select “Upload Theme” and browse to the zip file you downloaded. This will install the child theme.
7. Activate the Heuman Child theme.
8. Go to Appearance > Editor; this will automatically open the child theme style.css file.
9. Paste the css code there at the end of the file and select Update File.
10. The styles should be applied when you open your site.

Works great.

Thank you so much.
