Changing the text color of HTML/Javascript Ad Widget

Hi bmiskus. That’s probably a question better suited for the plugin support forum but, if you can post a link to your site, I’ll take a look at it.

Hi bdbrown! Here is the link to my site: https://nashvillethreesixty.com/

Thank you for offering to take a look at this for me! Any suggestions would be great!!

Give this css a try and see how it works:

.AdWidget_HTMLWidget {
   color: #000;
}

Thanks for the quick reply!! Just tried it. Didn’t work. So far the only color changes to text I’ve gotten to work were on the text color of posts, the title, and the date. No text color changes on the home page have worked. Very stubborn theme in that regard!

Here’s a screenshot of what I see. The text in the header ads widget and the sidebar widget is black. Are we talking about the same thing?

The words that appear underneath that picture are light gray as is the wording underneath the MusiCares ad. The words in the ad itself are black because I imported that. The words I added underneath it myself by way of the HTML/JavaScript ad are gray. The screenshot does make the words under the picture look black but they appear light gray (almost silver) on mine. This gray color is the default that came with this theme.

We must be looking at two different sites, or maybe there’s a browser cache or other cache that needs to be updated. On the link you posted above, when I look at it now and from which I took the screenshot, the text “ALWAYS ON THE BEAT IN MUSIC CITY!” under the header ad is black. Previously it was gray. If you remove the css I posted above, which you applied, the text returns to gray. The text under the MusiCares ad is the same. It’s currently black; remove the custom css and it reverts to the default widget text color of #777 gray.

The code you gave me is still in there. I haven’t removed it since I first tried it. I added the code, hit “update file” and checked for the change. Nothing had changed. Now I just pulled up the site on my phone and the text is black in both places. No idea what’s up with my computer on this change. It usually responds to changes in code immediately.

I had a couple friends check the site on their computers and they’re still seeing gray as well. Something is up where it’s sending the change to a mobile device but not the computer. That’s never happened before. No idea what’s suddenly causing this.

I just checked again this morning on my desktop using Chrome, FF and IE. The text is black in all three browsers.

It is in mine this morning too. No idea why this change took so long to show up on the desktop. It’s always been instantaneous in the past. Thank you so much for your patience with this!! I really appreciate the assistance!
