Changing highlighted text color?

    When using Yoast in the post editor, there’s an eye symbol that can be clicked to highlight relevant text in a post, such as sentences with over 20 words. However, for me, the text is highlighted in a dark color close to my site’s background, which makes it impossible to see the text I’m editing. How can I change this? Thank you!

    Hi @maybellyne,

    Certainly! Here’s a screenshot. The pink highlighted text is what initially displays. The dark highlight is what appears once I click the area to edit text.

    Thanks for the screenshot. We do not have a workaround to change the highlight color. You might check your theme to see if you can change the backgroundd colour of the text.

    Thank you for your help, @maybellyne. It’s too bad to hear Yoast currently doesn’t have a workaround. I would prefer not to configure my site’s aesthetics around Yoast’s lacking customization options. I think this is a reasonable request, as dark themes are quite popular. I may be compelled to give Yoast a poor rating, at least until this is addressed. I’d be happy to change it if that ever happens!

    Regardless, I appreciate you looking into the issue.
