Can I change the default text color for PAGE text?

  • I’m really stuck on this. I’m using a black background on my blog, and I’m having trouble seeing copy on my PAGES. The blog posts are fine, that respects my style sheets.

    I can’t find anywhere that a color is being specified for pages though. When I look at the HTML in the admin control panel, I see it has <font color="#000000"> tags all through it. But I also don’t see anywhere in the WYSIWYG editor, where that can be changed. And I don’t see it specifying that color from the “page.php” template.

    Where is it coming from, and wher can I change it?

    Hope this makes sense!!

  • <font> is a long deprecated tag. Sure you were looking at a word press file? All font colors should be located on the style.css file in your theme directory and should be in the form of:

    color: #xxx;

    This can be found the body element, but may be a different color in others such as content, H?, etc.

    Yes, I’m in WRITE -> WRITE PAGE, in the PAGE CONTENT area.
    Perhaps the content was copied and pasted from WORD into there, and that’s where the Font Tags came from. Is that possible?

    I bet that is what happened. When I create a new page and type fresh text, it comes across without any font tags.

    Hmm, good. Anyway to prevent that code from being carried over when users copy and paste?

    I’m assuming that you’re using the visual editor when composing. When you paste something in, switch over to the html editor. That will show you any formatting, which should be removed.

    Correct, Buzz.
    The end user won’t know what to remove from there though. I need to protect them from themselves!

    Then turn off the wysiwyg for good and never tell them it exists ??

    Or upgrade to 2.5 where even in the wysiwyg thing you have a button for “Copy from Word” and it strips all the garbage from the text.
