Title: Help with CSS code Last modified: October 2, 2020 --- # Help with CSS code * Resolved [mikeflynn08](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeflynn08/) * (@mikeflynn08) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-css-code-3/) * Anyone know the CSS to change the text colour in the navigation bar? * Also, is there a way to change the background colour of the posts on the blog page? * And finally is there a CSS code for changing the header title font to make it bold or add a shadow? We changed the header font using – header {Font-family:“ Papyrus”;} – but for some odd reason the font-weight doesn’t not work. * Also does anyone know how to have it so that the page you are on in the menu highlights in a different colour? * Many thanks * Mike * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhelp-with-css-code-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [Velda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supernovia/) * (@supernovia) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-css-code-3/#post-13485607) * Hey Mike, here’s an overview for how to find the CSS for your theme, and it can likely help: [https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/how-to-find-your-themes-css/](https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/how-to-find-your-themes-css/) * It looks like you may have already changed the menu color. For the drop shadow, you can use something along these lines: * ``` #masthead .site-title a, #masthead p.site-description { text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px black; } ``` * Hoping that helps! * Thread Starter [mikeflynn08](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeflynn08/) * (@mikeflynn08) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-css-code-3/#post-13487196) * Thanks for that it was very helpful. I have changed a few things, but cannot work out the following: * I have changed the post backgrounds – however part of it has remained white – what would the coding be to change this also? * I cannot seem to work out how to change the post title colours – everything I have tried doesn’t work – what coding do I need to change this? * Finally – the links that I have in my posts are a really dark colour – what coding would I need to set this? * Unfortunately my coding is very basic, which is why I cannot seem to figure these ones out. * Thanks so much for all of your help in this – especially with this theme, as everything I know seems to not work in this one, but we really want to keep this theme as it works the best. * Kind regards Mike * [KokkieH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kokkieh/) * (@kokkieh) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-css-code-3/#post-13492067) * > I have changed the post backgrounds – however part of it has remained white– > what would the coding be to change this also? * You can use this: * ``` body:not(.single) .format-standard { background-color: #212121; } ``` * > I cannot seem to work out how to change the post title colours – everything > I have tried doesn’t work – what coding do I need to change this? * Use this: * ``` .entry-header .entry-title a { color: white; } ``` * > Finally – the links that I have in my posts are a really dark colour – what > coding would I need to set this? * This will make in-post links the same color as the category links at the top, and of links in your sidebar widgets: * ``` .entry-content a { color: lightskyblue; } ``` * You can substitute the color values themselves with whatever you want. * Thread Starter [mikeflynn08](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeflynn08/) * (@mikeflynn08) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-css-code-3/#post-13493351) * Thank you so much for these – they all worked perfectly.
