Shape 5

I have assigned a menu to a page yet the text in the menu is white, as the background is white i cant see it. Also have this porblem when I create an article and then publish it the text is also white, I have to then manually go in anad select the Black coloe from the editor! However the menus I cannot find a way to change to Black color.

Hello,

The accordion menu is designed to be published to "left" or to "right" which has a darker background which you can see here:

You currently have the module published to left_inset, which has a white background. You need to publish it to "left" so that it shows on a dark background.

The menu is now okay but im still having problems with white text when I create an article. I create a new article type in  some text then when it gets published its white?  can you advise how to fix this?

can someone help out with this issue of white text as ive just renewed my subscription to get these issues fixed and still no reply about this.

When i write an article and publish it the text is not visible on the page as it is white, i need the font colour to be black yet its always white when i publish an article

Thank you

Hello,

I need an exact url to where this can be seen so I can see what is applying the white text; please provide that link. The link you provided above is already showing properly.

this is an example link

also in the attached you can see that the article was created and the text was ok in the editor

Hello,

It's because you have the center area set to use a custom background, but you aren't actually using one - you have it set to white. When you set a custom background color it's assuming it's a darker color so it makes the text white. White is default so there's no need to apply it.

You can fix this one of two ways:

1. In the template configuration go to Main/Layout and go to the Center Area section and open the background image icons. Under both of those icons set "Set Your Own Custom Background?" to "No" and save "Choose a background color" as empty. Close the popups and save the configuration.

2. In custom.css add the following:

.s5_yes_custom_bg, .s5_yes_custom_bg h3 {
color:#000000 !important;
}


#1 would be the preferred method since this is a configuration issue.

many thanks that solution worked, i had no idea a background image was set , it must have been set by accident, however it is very useful to know that was the issue as i was looking for a font colour setting.

Many thanks for your help
