Partly invisible text

  • Hi!
    So grateful to Steve D that he updated the SpeakUp plugin to SpeakOut. However, using the Basic Petition Theme I have problem with some text not being visible to read. This concerns the heading for the petition and the “Share” text before the Facebook and Twitter buttons. The texts are just slightly visible as shadows, while all other text is sharp and clear. Please see: https://www.powertoparents.se/skriv-pa-var-namninsamling/ (Site in progress, not officially launched)

    I hope there is some easy way to solve this, since I am not used to css.
    But if needed and with good instructions, I can try.

    Thanks.

    I recommend using a child theme or a plugin that allows you to add custom CSS. Start with the following, changing the # to whatever color you want to use:

    .dk-speakout-petition-wrap h3 {
	color: #21759b;
}

.dk-speakout-petition-wrap p {
    color: #d54e21;
}

    The problem isn’t that the font is actually transparent, it is just a very similar color to the background that it’s displayed on. Does that get you pointed in the right direction?

    Thank you, Geoffrey! Your advice helped me to solve the problem and also encouraged me to try some other design adjustments in the CSS. So pleased! https://www.powertoparents.se/

    I have one remaining problem, though: how to change the labels for the text fields from English to Swedish? That is “First name” and “Last name”. These cannot be changed in the plugin’s settings. My WP general settings are already set to Swedish. Maybe this language is not available for the SpeakOut plugin?

    Hope you can help me with this last headache.:)

    I’m very sorry it took so long to respond! I haven’t been able to be on the forums much lately. I’m glad to hear you got the first part working, and even more excited to hear it encouraged to experiment with CSS! ??

    Unfortunately, I don’t have much experience when it comes to translations. I know some plugins/themes do a better job with it than others. You may want to try SpeakOut’s dedicated support forum:
