changing color of post title in hueman theme

Hey there adriaan47,

How are you doing today?

This should be possible to fix with some custom CSS. The reason for this is most likely that the title link hover color is the same color as your background which is making it to disappear when being hovered on.

Please try adding the following CSS code in the style.css file of your child theme or add it in your site using the following plugin:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/simple-custom-css

.post-title a:hover { color: #fff;}

Replace the color hex value with the color which will be displayed when hovered on the link. You can use sites such as this one to get color hex value for the color of your choice:

If this doesn’t work please post link to your site so I can take a look.

Hope this helps ??

Best regards,
Bojan

i’m sorry but its not working.

Hi there adriaan47,

The code Bojan provided it is not working because you already have the hover color defined somewhere else. Most probably that is the theme options styling bing saved directly to the template.

If you still want to overwrite them you could use !important in the code Bojan provided.

It should look like this:

.post-title a:hover {
    color: #fff !important;
}

Please note using !important it is to be used only when absolutely necessary.

The problem you are getting with “YOU MAY ALSO LIKE..” is because the color of the font is similar to the background.

You can change it in your CSS on line 248.

Thanks,
Ivan

I have installed the Hueman Child theme to add customization. I was successful in changing the color of the text in my posts from gray to black. Now I want to change the title and date of my posts to black as well. I have tried every short code change suggested and nothing has worked. The hover color is fine. I don’t want to change that. I’ve specifically changed the color ID to #000 and I’ve tried using the word ‘black'(which worked for the text color change). I’ve also tried adding !important after it and still no change. Any suggestions would be most appreciated! Thank you!!

Hey there bmiskus,

How are you doing today?

Please try adding the following CSS code as explained above:

h1.post-title {
color: #000;
}

p.post-byline {
color: #000;
}

This should change the color of the post title and the date. If this doesn’t work could you please post link to your site with the code added so I can take a look?

Hope this helps ??

Best regards,
Bojan

Thanks for your prompt reply Bojan! I added the CSS code you suggested into the Hueman Child Stylesheet (style.css)and nothing changed. The entry I used to change the text color of the post from gray to black was this:

.entry { color: black; }
.entry.excerpt { color: black; }

Changing the color of anything else hasn’t worked.

Here is the link to my site:

Thanks so much!!

My apologies Bojan!! I just realized when adding a new post that the color of the title and date DID change to black with the code you suggested on the post itself. I was looking at it on the HOME page, where it did not change color. Do you know what the code would be to also change it on the HOME page? It’s still showing up gray there. I’m trying to get the titles in the body and sidebars of the HOME page changed from gray to black as well. Looking for uniformity on the site with regard to the color scheme. Sorry for the confusion!

Thank you!!

Bev

Hey there Bev,

Glad to hear that the code is working ??

As for the home page it’s not working since on home page titles are actually links. So please try adding the following:

.post-title a {
color: #000;
}

.post-meta .post-date {
color: #000;
}

This should change the color of the titles and the date on the home page.

Please let me know if this helps ??

Best regards,
Bojan

Hi Bojan! Thank you for the suggested code to change the color on the home page. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. I added it to the child theme, just as before, but nothing changed. It’s being stubborn! Any other ideas?

Thank you!
Bev

Hi Bojan! Found a new glitch with this tonight. The color IS changed to black – but only on mobile devices, not the computer. I’ve had several friends check their computers as well and it still shows gray. On my android phone, it’s black. Never had this happen on the site before. There haven’t been any recent updates that I’m aware of. Any idea what may be causing this? Totally baffled!

Thanks,
Bev

Hey there Bev,

I’ve checked your site on both android phone and desktop and in both the text and date are black in both home and single post pages.

I’m assuming this is just an issue with cache, are you using any caching plugins? If yes I suggest disabling them while making modifications to your site, also please try clearing browser cache and then check for changes.

Hope this helps ??

Best regards,
Bojan

Hi Bojan! It showed up as black on my desktop this morning as well. I am using a caching plugin. I will disable it in the future when making modifications. Thank you!! Your advice is always helpful and most appreciated!

Hey there Bev,

Glad to hear everything is working now ??

Cheers,
Bojan
