    Hi,
    Seems to be a typo in the short codes description for Gridder, or maybe I’m missing something. Trying to set the background TEXT color, but the info shows “background_color=FFFFFF” rather than text_color (or something… tried this, but didn’t work). Here’s the link to the page I’m talking about… see the “Name Overlayand Panel Text Color” section.

    What is the short code for panel text color?

    Keep up the good work, plenty of usefulness in your plugin, thank you.

    Thanks for pointing out the typo! The instructions were correct, just the example was wrong. The option name is color.

    Apologies for the trouble!

    Thanks Steven, I appreciate the quick reply. I tried “color” but it doesn’t seem to work. Can’t get the text color to be anything but black. The background_color short code option works fine setting the background color, but not the text on top of it.

    The option name is definitely color … it’s what Im using on the demo page:
    http://connections-pro.com/demo/template/gridder/

    If you expand the get the shortcode plus sign you can see the shortcode I used for the demos.

    I triple checked in the code to make sure.

    If you’re copy/pasting … make sure you only do that while the Text tab is active in the WordPress page editor. If you paste while using the Visual tab, content can be pasted in that breaks WordPress’s ability to properly read the shortcode. I suggest switching it to the Text tab and making sure there is no unexpected code mixed in the shortcode.

    Turns out the problem is caused by the theme I’m using (Divi by Elegant Themes), which is overwriting the color setting applied by Connections Gridder in it’s own style.css file (in the theme’s “span.fn” class definition.)

    Workaround applied by modifying child theme css definition of span.fn

    Thanks again.

    Ahhh… yes, that would break it. Since I’m allowing this to be set by the shortcode, I can only set it as an inline style on the containing element and let the color be inherited by the children elements. If a theme has a more specific CSS statement, it’s going to override the inline.

    Great to hear you found a solution!
