I have 8 sites, and one is live. So I loaded it to that one so I could show you, and it seems to be working… so does the site have to be live before we can see it doing anything?

I have another live site, and only the paragraph changes when I change to red. All other headings do nothing on the page, one at a time. That site is http://www.fallingforafellpony.com
Hi Dachia,
To get the most out of this plugin you do need to have knowledge of your themes css selectors. That said, if you could point out exactly which elements you are looking to change I’ll do my best to give you a hand. Cheers

Hi Sunny,
Thanks for the response. I think I figured out some stuff. I’ll tell what I think and you can tell me if I’m right. When I’m writing an actual post and I want part of the text to look different, I can just put that particular text in any of the “headings” that the toolbar offers. Doesn’t matter what it looks like. Then when I use the customizer area, I can have that heading look whatever I want by using this plugin.
So, that I get (if I get it, you tell me).
I just published one of my sites so I can show you what I mean. I wish I could un-publish after you look… 😉
That site is http://www.couchsurfing101.com On that page there is a single post. The title of that post which is Couchsurfing 101, does not change under any of the headings. I don’t have access to change the heading in the toolbar of the edit area for the post. And when I click one by one, each of the headings in the plugin, and just ask to make it red (I don’t actually want it red, just want to find it) it never changes color. In fact, on that page, nothing has changed anywhere on that page with any of those except the paragraph. I made the font a bit bigger.
I have had some luck with a couple other sites, but using this one as my example. All are using the same theme.
Hi Dachia,
In your example you would need to create a new font control. E.g.
- Go to Settings > Google Fonts
- Create a new font control e.g. Site Title
- Add the following in the Add CSS Selectors box:
.site-title a, .site-title a:hover
- Save the font control and visit the customizer. Your new font control will be there which will allow you to control the site title on the page.
Generally speaking, in order to get the most out of this plugin you need to have knowledge of your themes css selectors. If you do not have this knowledge any basic developer should be able to give you a hand with it. Hope that helps, let me know how you get on. Cheers

I don’t mean to hijack this thread, however I had the same issue, tried this and it worked perfectly. Thank you
Now time to brush up on my theme’s CSS selectors!

Hi Reece,
Glad you were able to get it working. Generally, any advice I provide in these forums regarding css selectors are theme specific. If you have any issues in the future just give me a shout on this forum and I’ll do my best to help. Cheers
