How do I change the default text colour for posts? It is currently a mid-grey and it just does not stand out. My theme is Atom Lab Child.

I have searched the forum and whilst the question seems to have been asked numerous times non have an answer I can use. I have also looked at customise but cannot see any reference to Posts.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Your current default text color is black (#000).

I sort of expected that answer but I can assure you that when I create a new post the text is grey and I have to change it to black. And if, having saved the post I go back to it and add more text then the new text is again grey.

OK, can you put up a test post (and provide a link) using your theme defaults? We can do some CSS to override.
Also, you might ask for help to set it in th etheme at https://childthemewp.com/

Is this the theme you are using? https://themeforest.net/item/atomlab-multipurpose-startup-wordpress-theme/20939963/support – contact support team that is most familar with the theme’s operation to ask for guidance about text color adjustment.

Alternatively, deactivate all plugins and change to a default theme (use health check plugin https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/health-check/ in troubleshooting mode) to narrow down the source of the text color changing.

I’m sorry but I’ve got this all wrong. Posts are absolutely fine. It’s the text in Message boxes that’s shows grey. My apologies.

What do you mean by “message boxes” ? Can you mark up a screen shot?

The left hand box shows the issue. The top two paras are black because I changed them, the last para is the default colour.

.vc_color-info.vc_message_box { color: #000; }

To add or override CSS: use the “Additional CSS” option in the customizer. https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/CSS#Custom_CSS_in_WordPress or at [site]/wp-admin/customize.php if you don’t have that menu option.

Use the Chrome Developer Tools or Firefox Developer Tools to help you see and test changes to your CSS.

This indicates you’re using Visual Composer, so any further questions should go to them: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/visualcomposer/

Thanks. I’ll have a look at that tomorrow.
