Hi,

Firstly, I’m a WordPress rookie so please forgive me if I’m asking a stupid question.

I’m using the Hueman theme. The text colour displaying on cMap is a light grey and very hard to read on the standard #E3E3E3 background. I switched to the 2014 theme and the colours are OK, so I imagine it’s the Hueman theme causing the problem.

I’ve been through all the support and template information on this site and I see I can change the background colour via a shortcode but there doesn’t seem to be one for changing the text colour.

I also tried using [raw][connections][/raw] and [noformat][connections][/noformat] with no effect.

So I changed it to a black background which is a bit better but I would like to be able to change the text colour to whatever I want depending on the background colour I finally choose.

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks,

Peter

@ Peter

The text color is inherited from the theme, so, what the exact change you would need really depends. If you can share a link showing it and the color you want, I’ll take a look ans see if I can give you the CSS you would need to change it to the color you want.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the reply. Now that know it’s inherited form the theme, I have been trying to locate the issue using Firebug but with no success.

I want to be able to change the colour and size of the labels and names. I haven’t decided on a specific colour yet.

However, wouldn’t changing the theme then change other elements elsewhere on the site? I wouldn’t want to do that.

I don’t really want to post a link to the site here as it will be a private membership site.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Steven,

Forgot to mention aother issue I’m having.

I also have cMap insatlled on a sub-domain to the same site. For some reason a block quote symbol displays before Select Category effectively indenting everything.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Steven,

Ooops, sorry, in relation to the block quote symbol, I had somehow selected the block quote in the editor.

So ignore that issue.

Thanks,

Peter

No you can change the color without effecting the color throughout the entire theme. The following should work, but that depends on how the theme’s author declared the color style:

#cn-cmap, #cn-cmap h3 {
    color: cadetblue;
}

Hi Steven,

Thanks, that works.

Looking at the template on this site http://connections-pro.com/add-on/cmap/ the name (Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce & Industry) is a lot darker than on my site, it’s a light grey.

Is there some code to change this?

Thanks,

Peter

@ Peter

That should change with the code I gave you. You can tweak the color to better suit. If it doesn’t change, then it is still being set by the theme. This usually means an even more specific CSS selector needs to be used to override the theme. What that is without being able to see, I don’t know, sorry.

Hi Steven,

OK, as I need to change this, I am posting the link t the site.

@ Peter

Use this:

#cn-cmap h3 span {
    color: #000000;
}

That should override the theme.
