Text Color Randomly Changed on Site

    We had a site custom made for us a few months back. I am relatively new at maintaining a website on WordPress specifically, and I am unsure on where to begin to fix this issue.

    I noticed about 2 weeks ago a text block on our home page, under “About,” has changed colors and is not able to be read unless you highlight it. I have not done anything to my knowledge as I have never edited the theme or any code of our site. The only things I have edited are page posts and I have added two code snippets that connect to our CRM.

    I have tried to check a few places with no luck. I tried going to pages, home page then edit. In my about section content, there is no code for color or anywhere to change color that I can see. I have tried going into my theme and customizing, but my theme is custom and called “LEC” for my company, so I do not see much to edit.

    I am using google chrome, but others are using different browsers and see the same thing. How do I go about figuring out what changed this and how do I get this to change back? I am not sure what more information will be needed to figure this out as I am new and I am a one man marketing department. I know everything is updated including plugins.

    Colors are generally controlled by theme styles. Looks like your theme is custom built so I am not sure if there are several areas controlling the colors.

    You can override colors by adding some CSS — try something like this…

    .about_lec {    
        color: white;
    }

    If you are not sure where/how to add CSS — here’s a link with a few ideas: https://www.greengeeks.com/tutorials/3-simple-ways-to-add-custom-css-to-your-wordpress-website/

    Alternatviely, contact the original developer of your website to request guidance about adjusting colors for the custom theme.

    Make a backup of your files and database before making changes in an area you are not as familiar with.
