I created an article > created new menu item > linked to the article > clicked the link > the page opened but the only thing visible is the title.

I did a click-drag over the white space and, sure enough, the text is there but it’s white.

a) How do I change the text color (my text editor does not seem to have this function, but why would the text color default to white anyway?)
b) How can I change the font-family and font-size? (I’m OK with css and finding where the css pages are, but which .css file would I find that in [there are many and they’re very long]?)

Thanks for any help, Chris

The page is here: http://satreeipc.school/index.php/our-programs/middle-school

However! I’ve installed JCE editor, went to the page and manually highlighted all the text and changed the color.

One thing that still remains hidden, though, (white on white) are the bullet points. Just do a click-drag on the list items and you’ll see what I mean – the white bullets will be visible.

Weird. If there’s some code I can change (css?) I can do that myself (and I want to change the font-family to Helvetica anyway), but in which css file do I find it?

Of course, if the default font color is white, I may have bigger problems than just css code.

Hi
did u customized the template ? The default body color is defined white so everything is white showing on site .
To change the color go to
/templates/ja_university_t3/local/css/themes/blue/bootstrap.css
find this code

body {
    font-family: Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size: 13px;
    line-height: 1.5;
    color: #ffffff;
    background-color: #ffffff;
}

replace it with

body {
    font-family: Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size: 13px;
    line-height: 1.5;
    color: #333333;
    background-color: #ffffff;
}

change the color #33333 as per needs .

Thanks a lot for that! Really appreciate your help. But do know that, oddly, I never got into the css to modify anything. I looked at a couple of css files, but couldn’t find the font color, size, etc. code to change it. The template code is as it was out of the box.

Thanks again!

Went through a bunch of css files (including the one you point to) but cannot find the code. I’ve attached a screenshot of where I went and what was there.

Searched the file for "color:" and came up with only two hits (the second image).

I feel like such a dummy! Went back and looked again. Sure enough, it’s there. All changed. All good.

Actually, before, I searched for "#", "font", and "color:". The "find" thing (Command-F) never found it! Never trusting that again!
