Default Color Theme – Under Customise

  • How do I change the default color of this theme? It seems to always default as White background with grey fonts, I would like it to default to the Black theme under the Customise link. When I click Customise, it shows the options:
    White
    Black
    Blue
    Green
    Grey

    I would like it to always default to black, for new visitors, and also, it is possible to add custom themes to the “Customise” link section? Thank you.

  • Is that theme from the repository? Could you please provide a link to it so that we can take a look at and be able to better advise you.

    Here is my website: https://oughtobe.com/wordpress/

    The theme is called “Minimalist 1” by Joey Robinson

    I’m afraid that’s a pretty old theme and it looks like the them author no longer supports it (hence the warning on https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/minimalist/ ). All I can really suggest is that you install a custom CSS plugin and then use Firebug (or whatever developer tool is available in your web browser) to locate the CSS you need to over-write.

    Is there any easy way to do that?

    The process I described above is the simplest method, I’m afraid. If you cannot manage this yourself, perhaps you need to consider hiring someone to carry out the work for you?

    @oughtobe,

    Go to header.php and switch the colors around like so
    @line 19 change that to black.css and the title to black
    @line 20 change that to white, same for the title – save.

    Then go to the sidebar.php
    @line 38 change the instances of white to black and
    @line 39 do the opposite – i.e. black to white – save

    And that’s it – black will always be the default color.

    To add more color simply create a new color.css and place it in the styles folder then simply reference it in the two files above like the other styles and you should be good to go.

    Regards,
