My sidebar titles have gone all black for some reason

  • I had some sort of bug in my wordpress blog (where it was constantly redirecting links and pages to another random spammy web page). I used a plug in to help clean out my blog and it started working fine again. Then I noticed that my side bar titles were all black now, can you help! I have no idea what happened and it’s been so long since I’ve tinkered around on my blog that I cannot remember how to fix this – thank you in advance!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Do you want the widget title to be white with the background area being the darker color? If so, you have the following custom CSS applied

    .widget-title {color: #000000;font-family: 'Helvetica';font-size: 13px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: 4px;line-height: 0.8;

    So you would just need to delete color: #000000; and it should turn the text for the titles to a lighter color.

    Hi –

    I would like them to be white with black text, I don’t know what happened because I didn’t change anything, just yesterday they all turned black like they are currently. That’s what has me a little confused, I’m assuming it has something to do with my blog being hacked and when I was removing the hack, it changed it I guess. Have you heard of that happening before?

    In that case, go into Appearance->Customize->Additional CSS and change

    .widget-title {color: #000000;font-family: 'Helvetica';font-size: 13px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: 4px;line-height: 0.8;}

    into

    .widget-title {color: #000000;font-family: 'Helvetica';font-size: 13px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: 4px;line-height: 0.8;background-color: white;}

    I’ve never experience malware changing the CSS of a site so hard to say what happened exactly.

    Hi, thank you for getting back to me. I’m having trouble finding that code in my additional CSS, it just isn’t there so I must be missing something here lol. There’s no widget title code that I had input or anything in the additional CSS.

    Ah sorry for the mixup, looking at the code closer I see the .widgettitle stuff listed under this CSS section

    tt-easy-google-font-styles

    Does that make any sense to you in regards to customized CSS?

    Sorry, I haven’t looked into basic coding in a while now and I seem to have forgotten everything lol, can you guide me with baby steps? Thanks! ??

    I would just try the following code in Appearance->Customize->Additional CSS

    .widget-title {
  background-color: #FFFFFF !important;
}

    Having !important should override any other code active and force the background to be white which will then display the black title
