Tesseract Theme by Tyler Moore – header color customizer problem

The color property affects the font color, not the background color.

I think the problem is that the stylesheet uses RGBA color values, like this:

.home .site-header,
.home .main-navigation ul ul a {
   background-color: rgba(82, 157, 201, 1);
}

Try using the hex color value instead:

.home #masthead {
   background-color: #529dc9;
}

Note that I used the ID for the header element because I wasn’t sure how you were going to add your overriding CSS. I don’t know if the theme has a custom CSS option, but if it doesn’t, then either create a child theme or use a CSS plugin like Jetpack or Custom CSS Manager.

Thanks for trying to help.

I’ve put in the color in the customizer. I’ve tried forcing the color in the site-banner.css with

.site-header {
background-color: #4d7c93 !important;
background-image: url(../images/headerbg.png);
}
.home #masthead {
background-color: #4d7c93 !important;
}

even put in a background image with that color!

and in style.css

.site-header {
width: 100%;
background-color: #4d7c93 !important;
}

Still comes out white in IE8. Mystery.

Yes, that is weird. According to this article, IE8 should even recognize the RGBA color value. The hex value at the very least. Sorry I couldn’t help.

Hi Team,

I am new to this forum. I have installed this theme and i want to increase the number of lines in posts page. Is it possible to increase the lines in post page i think currently it is limited to 50words.

Kindly someone help me to increase the lines.

Bala, You need to contact the people who gave you this theme. We can help you with CSS fixes, but not anything beyond that. We are not your theme’s vendors or your theme’s support team.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your response and i am not sure whether the post page is controlled by theme or the base word press application.

That is why i posted here someone will help me to find out the exact file to modify.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Andrew,

In my posts only showing few lines and please see the below sample..

and I told him that he should get moving or I’d be on him like a limpet. He looked at me with shock on his face and said Read More...

I’m telling you it’s controlled by your theme.

Yes, it is definitely controlled by the theme, it is not a WordPress option. The theme is probably calling the_excerpt() function, but you’ll have to inspect the code to be sure, or, as Andrew pointed out, contact the developer.

Hi Andrew & Crouchingbruin,

Thanks for both of your response and yes i modified the_excerpt() script now it is working fine.

Hey Sethu

Hi Priscila,

Go to \wp-content\themes\Tesseract\functions.php file and edit the lines
328,329,330 if it is there otherwise add this function it should work

[ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

function tesseract_new_excerpt_more($more) {
       global $post;
	return ' ' . '<a>ID) . '">' . __( 'Keep Reading ...', 'tesseract' ) . '</a>';
