  • You need to use Chrome Developer Tools:

    to find out the HTML element structure, then make changes to the style.css file, or use a CSS styling plugin like:

    https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/my-custom-css/

    All those changes can be done by using the custom css plugin that @selfhostedwp.com recommended.
    The easiest way to figure out what changes to make is to use Friebug with FF or Chrome inspector.

    I tried a plugin someone once suggested for another site. You paste in the CSS file then edit. Duh? It didn’t tell me WHAT to edit. I’d rather just edit the file myself UNLESS there is a plugin that tells me what I asked above. The file is simple to change — H5 to H3 — but knowing what to change is in my past

    I don’t do YouTube so can’t view the video. Does your software do what I ask?

    ??

    What is the url? So we can tell you what to change.

    It is adult themed and I don’t want it public. I thought by the theme name you could see what I needed help with. I don’t have a test domain yet … It’s on my todo list ??

    If there is a plugin where I could tell it what I needed, but, I know that’s beyond the scope of plugins. SO I come here to humbly beg for help

    See my second reply in this thread to get a perspective on how we debug formatting issues.

    There’s no magic there, we literally inspect the CSS and HTML code of the website. Without the website, you’ll have to wave your magic wand and see what happens [Warning: Sentence ending in preposition].

    I don’t use Chrome BUT I did just register that test domain. Tomorrow I will install theme, do test posts and post style.css in its own thread. That way y’all can see what I need help with. Sentence ends in a preposition, sorry.

    As I went to hit Post I realized the domain needs 24 hours so it may be a day or to.

    In the meantime you can try replicating the webpage through CSSDesk and share us the link to it.

    Put the file in a link to make it easier. Could not get <li> to work so the items I need to change aren’t listed. They are above as well

    Here is the theme

    You know when you said, “Title of story from grey to black”, in which page is it grey? I can see it’s orange.

    Ok first of all, if you are planing to update theme, than make sure that you create child theme.

    Now to the main part:
    in style.css on line 41 replace color (#ff7200) with #000 dont forget “;” at the end, that will fix title color from orange to black(I can’t see any gray title)

    in style.css on line 142 add font-size: 1em;
    NOTE that size of font have to be in em and you have to pick a number I just put 1 for a exampleThats for a date

    I don’t know what you meant with Click to continue before>>>

    For sidebar fonts in style.css on line 121 add font-size: 1em;

    Thank you. On my other website, the title of the post is grey. I never edited the css file. Weird.

    On “click to continue” I meant there is >>>> and you click it to continue. I want words like “click to continue” before the >>>> to help people.

    ————————————————————————–
    I edited line 41 but the title remains grey on my site, roange on test site. (h1 {margin: 0 0 10px; color: #000; font: normal 2.5em “Arial”,sans-serif;})

    I tried to edit line 142 but I don’t see a reference to size

    142 p.post-meta span.date {background-position: 5px 0;}
    143 p.post-meta span.author {background-position: 5px -20px;}
    144 p.post-meta span.cats {background-position: 5px -40px;}

    I want to enlarge date, author and categories

    I thought it may be cached so checked in Chrome. Title grey and text is so small I can’t read it!
