font colour for date on recent posts widget – sidebar

  • Resolved John RCR Grant

    9 years, 6 months ago

    In my sidebar I have selected the recent posts widget and the main font on the post title is fine. However, the post’s date underneath is not at all clear as the font color (light grey) blends in too closely with my chosen background colour.

    How can this be changed? I tried the following but it did not result in any change: .recent_date {color: #000000}

    (as an aside can the background area of the sidebars be easily changed if I wanted to distinguish this from the main content?

    Many thanks,

    John

    Here is a link to one of the pages with a sidebar as noted above:

    Try adding css like this:

    .sidebar {
  background-color: #f5c01b;
  padding: 5px;
}

    Just paste that in your custom css box in theme options > advanced settings.

    I have changed the background color and this works fine (only I had to then change the hover color).

    If the client was wanting the sidebar not to stand out, can the colour of the date details in the sidebar (as per original query) be changed?

    Thanks for your help to date.

    You can make the background color a lighter color so it doesn’t stick out as much. Or you can change the color of the date with css but you would need to remove maintenance mode for me to see.

    Thanks for getting back Hannah, I do understand that the background color can be varied using the code provided and thank you for that.

    I have disabled maintenance mode for you to go in and check the code so that I may be able to change the font color itself.

    Thank you,

    John

    Try adding this css:

    .sidebar .kadence_recent_posts .recentpost_date {
  color: #fff;
}
