Inability to change Post Title color

    Hi! I’m learning WP and the block editor, using Twenty-Twenty-Three on WP 6.1.1 in a local env. (Windows 10/Local/Chrome)

    I find myself unable to change the Post Title text color through the editor (or any other means). I can change about anything else, it seems – including the Post Title background, Post Title typeface, etc. and other text colors. All that I can get for H1-H6 is black text with a hover color of red. Not sure where that is set – any pointers?

    I have tried different Post Patterns, and I’ve tried changing in the General Settings, as well as for individual blocks for the Default and a few other Styles.

    I would think it should be an easy selection Post Title/Text color, but apparently not – it stays black. Any ideas on where I can change this in the Editor (or elsewhere?)

    Many thanks

    Apparently this was not an interesting topic, or perhaps not in the correct forum for some reason. My apologies.

    Hi @sgrenholm you should be able to change the color in the editor as shown in this short video.

    If you add another Post Title block on the same page are you able to change that blocks text color?

    Also can you please share a link to the page that is using this template so that we can take a look.

    Thank you, @thelmachido, for your response!

    Yes, that is what I tried. But what I have found is that the behavior of changing Post Title – and probably other things – is not consistent.

    I don’t have the time to do a complete list. It seems that across Theme Styles, the way to change Post Title changes.

    For instance, using the default style, although I could change the background for the Post Title easily, for the text foreground, I could only do it by going into the Style menu and changing either the default colors or specifically for the Post Title block. And then… I had to change the color assignment for Secondary. Why secondary? Well that’s perfectly clear, it’s because of (…FIIK…)

    But in some other styles, it looks as if this is different – I will test more. And for the “Aubergine” style, I haven’t figured out yet where I can change it.

    I can’t tell yet whether this is set in the theme.json files, or what. But – and sure, I’m a beginner – it seems that some changes are not intuitive.

    Also, as I (and probably most people) are developing on some local WordPress, (running on Local in my env) I’m not sure how I can share a link to others can look. How do people handle that issue?

    Hi @sgrenholm the Post Title might be inside a group or row block, if that is the case the Post Title Block will be pulling the text/font color you would have set on this parent block. However, the best way to see this would be to check your site’s CSS.
    The Global Style changes the color settings across your site, so if the font color was set elsewhere it will be overridden.

    I’m afraid there isn’t a workaround for this besides putting your site online.
