starter site text color

    I am testing out blocksy and have imported a starter site using elementor.

    First issue, i cannot change the text color in the text blocks.

    In the elementor text editor -> style tab
    I have set the text color to white.
    But I assume it is still using the theme default text color, as it won’t change.

    The only way I can change it is to use the toolbar text color, which changes it to white text on a white background in the editor, so it’s unreadable in the editor.

  • Hello @lordsnake

    Could you please tell us the URL where you have downloaded the website, or what website have you downloaded exactly?

    The “Style” font colours should work just fine, because that’s the way the sites have been built.

    Thank you.

    its just the standard business starter site, nothing extra or special, no other plugins yet. Just blocksy and thats it.
    its blocked from public access, so no point sending you the url i’m afraid.

    I have further nailed it down to just headings…. if I use paragraph text, I can change the colour via the style tab…. but if I apply H1-h4, have to do it inside the editor.

    Hello @lordsnake

    I’ve just tested this flow on my end and it worked correctly. Check this short video out — https://streamable.com/z74idi.

    Am I missing something here?

    Thanks.

    here is a screencast showing it not working.

    Hello @lordsnake

    Alrighty, so I’ve managed to reproduce this on my end, thanks for the video. I’ve notified the developers and as soon as I have something from them, I’ll get back to you.

    Thanks.

    Hello @lordsnake

    I have an update for you. We’ve thoroughly investigated this and I’m afraid to say that the issue doesn’t come from our end, but more from Elementor’s end.

    First off, this isn’t the best way to implement headings inside of text blocks. There’s the separate heading block available for you to use.

    With these said, the “issue” happens on all themes that support a broader set of customiser features — you’ll notice this with Blocksy and all of the top themes on the WordPress store. And it happens because Elementor’s CSS selector isn’t exactly correct — https://d.pr/v/u01qJO

    So your options in this case are.

    1. Contact Elementor and get them to fix the issue.
    2. Use the HEADING block in the mean time and stylise that.
    3. Use a little CSS snippet to “fix” this — what Elementor should actually do.

    .elementor-widget.elementor-widget-text-editor > div * {
	color: inherit;
}

    Hope this makes sense. ??

    Thanks and have a happy weekend!

    ok thanks.
    If it is an elementor issue, any advice would be better coming form you. they are surely going to take more notice from a plugin/theme developer than an end-user. Especially since I am only using the free version.

    Hello @lordsnake

    We will also try to relay this issue to Elementor’s team, but it would be good to also send it yourself.

    You know… when people bug you too much to fix something, it puts a fire under your butt to make it happen. ??

    Thanks!
