    How would I override the theme when it has an “!important” statement built in?
    Here is what the theme is using.

    fpc-marketing .fpc-widget-front h2, .fpc-widget-front > p {
        color: #0012dd !important;

    I want different colors for the h2 and p tags. I tried using the “!important” statement in my child theme but it won’t work. Any Ideas?

  • Try adding more specific html selectors as well as adding !important

    What I used is the same as above along with !important. However my !important isn’t overriding the theme’s !important. Too bad there isn’t a !more-important command to use.

    You may try to use !important inline style which is more important than css style.

    I do not understand how you would use the INLINE STYLE within the style sheet

    I figured it out, Use html within the “Customize > Featured Pages > Featured Pages Selection > Featured Text” to change the color of the <p> text. It worked.

    <P style="color: fuchsia">This is the text below the Featured page title

    NOPE – It didn’t work, It showed right with the customize screen open but when I viewed it withing the browser (outside of dashboard) the text disappeared.

    Why is there an !important command on the core Style Sheet anyway? It kills customizing.

    Got it fixed and what I want. First cancel the color on the customize bar, then you can use css to edit your colors.
    Just in case anyone is watching this thread and wants to do this.

    I am new to CSS but have recently found out that using !important may not be such a good thing in the long run

    It should be a last resort if you can’t find a more specific selector. This is an interesting thread from @questas!

    I would Advise you to read up on The net on best/worst fonts for web design.

    Unfortunately the brush script is amongst them ??

    Yep, I know about that, That is why I only used that font on the FP Titles. However I have changed that font, it is easier to see/read I think. Thanks for the input. It’s the same font I am using on the menu now.

    I’m joking. It’s your site you can do whatever you like with it.
