    Hi, I don’t know too much about PHP but I am editing a wordpress theme and I want to be able to change all the text colors for the website, such as Navbar text colors, link colors, sidebar colors, post colors and page colors.
    Can I find these in style.css (or somewhere else), and if so where in the file? Thanks and sorry for not knowing too much about this stuff!

  • It’s possible but you should not modify theme files – as your changes will be lost when the theme is updated. Instead use a custom CSS plugin or a child theme – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

    One you have that set up, a browser tool like Firebug will show you the CSS for any element on the page – then COPY that code to the custom CSS or child theme and make the changes there.

    For specific help with CSS, you should post on your theme’s forum and include a link to your site.

    @wpyogi thank you very much! With Firebug I can find the exact line where the code I want to edit is, and it seems like it will be a very useful tool in the future. ??

    Yep, Firebug is very cool – it does tons of other useful stuff too – so you might want to check out the documentation on the Firebug site:
