 * Hi there,
 * Can I change the color of the menu bar and section headings? They are currently
   black. I’d also like the text to left justify, right now all the posts are centered.

 * We need to put our Custom CSS in a plugin, so if not already had one yet go pick
   one you like and install it.

 * This is the code to change top bar color
 *     ```
       /***** Top bar *****/
       .head-top { background: #ff0000; }
       ```
   
 * and this is the code to left align text in blog post listing page
 *     ```
       /***** Blog post archive left align text *****/
       .post_content .blog_post_box { text-align: left; }
       .post_content .blog_post_box .blog_post_content { text-align: left; padding: 0; }
       ```
   
 * Changing the color of top bar might require you to change text color (menu item)
   too, depending on your color we need to maintain readability so make sure we 
   have good color contrast there.

 * Thanks, paulwpxp. I’m loving this theme! I’d also like to know how to change 
   it so it allows me to italicize and add breaks between paragraphs? I tried even
   specifying it with html on the “text” tab since it isn’t working on the “visual”
   tab but it doesn’t work there either. Is something written in the CSS that overrides
   this?

 * Actually that is standard functionality. Theme always allow formatting text and
   space between paragraph is also the default.
 * See the demo here
    [https://wp-themes.com/one-blog/?p=36](https://wp-themes.com/one-blog/?p=36)
 * WordPress will auto wrap chunk of text with HTML paragraph tags (`<p>text here
   </p`>), it does so when there is 1 space line (hard enter) between chuck of text.
   This will happen automatically regardless of theme in use.
 * So maybe there is something else that prevents this? like a problematic plugin?
 * Do you mean this happens to the excerpt in post listing page? If that’s so then
   it’s also normal for theme to strip out text formatting in this part.

 * Thanks for the quick reply. This worked before I added this theme, and I haven’t
   installed or made changes to any plugins. I did a hard enter between paragraphs
   and after saving the changes, the line is removed. I also entered a 
    between
   the paragraphs but nothing changes. I tried using bold and italics on the paragraph
   and nothing happens. I thought there must be code somewhere that’s stripping 
   that formatting or something. It shows formatting when editing but after saving/
   publishing, it’s plain text with no space between the paragraph.

 * I just installed this theme in my local dev. The text formatting and auto paragraph
   worked just fine.

 * Can you confirm that we are talking about the single (full) “Post” page, or the
   Page, not the Post Excerpt part where it appears on Post listing page (blog home/
   archive)?

 * I apologize, I’d made a mistake when I was messing with the code. There’s nothing
   wrong with the theme (but you already knew that!) Thanks for being patient and
   for trying to help 🙂
