Topic summary

A user needs to change article/blog post text color to white (#ffffff) on a black (#000000) background in Shopify’s Publisher theme, as the current text is not displaying properly.

Solutions provided:

  • First approach: Add CSS targeting the specific section ID in base.css/style.css/theme.css:

    section#shopify--template-section-16259478853__main span {
  color: white !important;
}

  • Second approach (confirmed working): Add CSS to assets/section-blog-post.css:

    .article-template__content.page-width.page-width--narrow.rte.scroll-trigger.animate--slide-in * {
  background: #000000 !important;
  color: #ffffff !important;
}

The original poster confirmed the second solution worked. A follow-up question asks how to also change the header text color, indicating the solution doesn’t fully address all text elements on the blog post page.

Hi @JulesGamble ,

This is Anthony from Beae Landing Page Builder, and I’m happy to assist you today.

While I acknowledge that this issue falls short of the desired outcome, I have an idea that I believe might be of help:

  1. Go to Online Store → Theme → Edit code.

  2. Open your assets/section-blog-post.css file.

  3. Add the code at the end of the file:

.article-template__content.page-width.page-width--narrow.rte.scroll-trigger.animate--slide-in * {
    background: #000000 !important;
    color: #ffffff !important;
}
