Hi,

I am new to WordPress, i am having some difficulty with the following for my blog.
-Changing my font colour to white and headings.
– Also aligning my post to the left. At the moment its going more to the right and looks out of place with my featured image being so large!
I have changed my alignment to go to the left and nothing seems to change.

Please could someone help! :)

Hello!

For having the headings and font color set to white, you can use this:

`h1.entry-title a, .entry-content {
color: white;
}

I’m editing things a bit:
```
h1.entry-title a, .entry-content, p {
color: white;
}

.single .hentry .entry-content {
    float: left;
}
```
This should take care of the heading and font color + align the post content to the left.

Here is how you can add custom CSS code: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/

However, don’t forget that you need to have at least a Premium plan to add custom css code.

Also, here is some more CSS edits you can make to the theme:

Thank you for sending this to me.

I am currently using a theme called ‘Rebalance’. This is going to sound like a daft question, but how can i access the css to make these changes?

Im slightly confused

Hi zoebligh,

Custom CSS is only available on WordPress.com Premium and Business plans. For pricing, check here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

It looks like the post alignment towards the middle of the page on posts is a feature of the Rebalance theme. I noticed it as well while looking through the theme examples on this page: https://wordpress.com/theme/rebalance/ The only way to adjust it on this theme would be to use custom CSS.

If you go to Theme – Customize – Colors and Backgrounds, the theme provides you with a number of palettes and color schemes to choose from, as well as a “Pick your own color” option, though they affect all of the colors on the site at once. These options will also expand with a Premium or Business plan.

I hope this helps! Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

The is the Support Forum. It is not the CSS customization forum. Do not confuse the two and those who post for help in cases like this one.

1. Inform the person they need an upgrade to edit CSS and how to get one.
2. Tell them how to create a thread in the CSS customization forum.

Example of my prewritten response below.

re: https://zoeblightravels.wordpress.com/

The way your theme is designed is stated here https://wordpress.com/theme/canard and that is where the set up instructions and link to the live demo site is found.

Do you have an upgraded site that has CSS editing capability?
http://wordpress.com/pricing

You cannot do what you want to do without an upgraded plan for that site.

See here for details on purchasing an annually renewable Premium or Business plan https://wordpress.com/pricing/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing if appropriate.

Custom design – Frequently Asked Questions such as: I’m not sure if Customize is right for me. Can I try before I buy?
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/

Note 1: Once you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.

Good answer. Too bad you had to post after mihaiapetrei did.

I would like to provide some advice. I do not aim to be on staff. I have been tagging support threads for over 11 years now and I predate all support docs and all but one support staff member being on staff.

Wherever possible we aim to have only one clear and comprehensive answer posted into any support thread, so we avoid creating a cluster of confusing responses from what appears to be a disjointed gang of volunteers whose overlapping responses evoke frustration in those who post for help.

Locating clear and comprehensive answers and backlinking to them is not challenging because we use forum thread tagging, and we have support docs, and google search that all assist us to locate the most recent correct and comprehensive responses by staff and other experienced volunteers like myself.
