In the style designer tab of the blankie template manager, I've tried to change the color and font family of the paragraph text.

But whatever I change it to doesn't seem to have any effect.

The color and font still seem to be the same as before.

Please see www.abetterlifeThailand.com . I've set the font to Trebuchet MS and the color to black (#000000), but the font definitely isn't Trebuchet (I don't know what it is) and the text still looks grey, not black.

Even when I select a color in the editor (e.g. navy), the color when published seems a lot lighter. And when I select a different font, it still displays the site-wide font.

How do I fix this?

Thanks

in template_css.css

body {
font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
font-weight: 300;
line-height: 24px;
}

light color is because font-weight: 300;

you can simply add

p{
...your styles for p ...
}

after that

nope, sorry - that didn't change anything. I even tried changing the color, but it's still set to gray.

Am I changing the right file?
public_html/blankie_template/hot_blankie/css/template_css.css

body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
font-family: 'Georgia';
font-weight:normal;
color:#000000;
line-height:24px;
}

p {
margin:0;
padding:0;
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';
font-weight:normal;
color:#000000;
line-height:24px;
}

Oops, I edited the wrong file. I found another css file with the same name in public_html/templates/hot_blankie/css/

So which file is the template manager modifying?

Template manager is modifying template_css.css

add !important flag:



p {
margin:0!important;
padding:0!important;
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'!important;
font-weight:normal!important;
color:#000000!important;
line-height:24px!important;
}

Thanks, I'll try that.

But I've noticed that the template manager modifies template_css.css in public_html/blankie_template/hot_blankie/css/ but the active file seems to be in public_html/templates/hot_blankie/css/
