# Theme Upgrades Please …

 * After upgrading from Twenty Two-One to Twenty Two-Two, there are 2 prior paragraph
   functions missing.
    First, the capability to change colour of individual words
   other than links is now unavailable. Second, the useful graphics Drop cap feature
   is missing. Of course I don’t understand why; not being conversant with system
   or programming complexities. Is it possible to resurrect these features and include
   them in the Twenty Two-Two theme? Thank you.

 * I can help you at least with your drop cap issue:
 * You can activate the drop cap feature in the theme.json. Go to line 171 and replace
   false with true.

 * Thank you zsyl. I appreciate your support. You’re talking with a guy who has 
   never touched a piece of code in this language.
    Nor should I have to. Let me
   explain: If the theme is to be as flexible as suggested by the authors then the
   Drop cap as an option should be set true from the start so that all users can
   benefit, irrespective of technical knowledge. The same flexibility for individual
   word colour as a theme standard is either provided or will not be. If not, say
   so in the documentation or forum. Stop the guessing game. Zsyl, my site is in
   production mode with this theme and I hesitate to try your suggestion because
   of the 50% probability I might screw up and not be able to undo any damage I 
   create. In the end, the functioning of the theme is the responsibility of the
   theme creators not the user. Thank you again zsyl for taking your time to help.
   Make yourself a great day!

 * Hi!
 * With most text blocks, including the heading, paragraph, table and list blocks,
   
   you can change the color of individual words or letters using the block toolbar.
 * The option is called “highlight” and you can change both the text color and the
   background color (I believe it used to have a different name in previous versions
   of WordPress).
 * Select the block. Select the text you want to change color for.
    In the block
   toolbar, open the block tools menu by selecting the arrow icon. Select Highlight.
   Now you can select a color from the palette or select a custom color with the
   color picker.

    -This is not possible with text that is generated for us, for example: Site
   title, post title, latest posts and archive widgets etc.

 * Hi Carolina,
    Recognize you from Yoast. Thank you for clarifying the toolbar 
   block usage. In Twenty Twenty-One the option was the second one on the list called
   Colour. Don’t remember what the first one was because I didn’t use it and being
   a creature of habit, of course, when Colour was missing I got lost.
 * One caution that you should be aware of is the block toolbar allows a link color
   to be changed also. However going back to the original colour may not be feasible
   due to more link colours than text ones. Links must be done at the theme block
   level.
 * One suggestion about the colour picker for the future is to allow a copy/paste
   of a pre-selected colour number into the box in the #nnnnnn format. The reason
   is that it would simplify and allow a consistent non-palette colour to be used
   multiple times across a site. My musing for the day.
    Thank you again. Make yourself
   a great day!

 * Ooops! Reviewed my caution in the above message and you **can** go back to the
   original colour.
    My suggestion though is to replace the 5 theme colours with
   the full slate of default colours.

   enable drop cap.
