Post WP 5.7 update page editor does not inherit theme background colour

Hey @sigagan,

Thanks for reaching out!

The workaround that has been provided earlier still works but you will have to modify the code a bit – the /wp-content/themes/primer/gutenberg-temporary-style.css file needs to be updated:

Class .edit-post-visual-editor needs to be replaced with .editor-styles-wrapper.

Everything else remains the same.

So the mentioned file should contain the following code:

.editor-styles-wrapper{
	background-color:#000;
}

Let me know if this helps! ??

Great, thanks. It works.

Is there a better way for this temporary css to inherit theme layouts? I say this because the text font colours and styles are not inherited anymore.

Hey @sigagan,

Thanks for your reply. ??

In order to avoid black text in your editor, you should extend your code:

.editor-styles-wrapper{
	background-color:#000;
        color:#fff !important;
}

Please note that the Primer theme hasn’t been updated for almost one year – during that period of time, lots of WordPress versions have been released and the Primer is not fully compatible with the latest WP at the moment.

I hope that the issue with the editor will be fixed once the theme is updated since it is already reported here:
