customize fonts for sidebar and ‘post comment’ form

By tmrock, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

Hello; I’m using the vantage.2.3.3 premium. All fine excepting the sidebar and ‘post comments’ form which are not responding to the global font settings. Can’t find the way to setup the same font as used in the page body; widgets in the sidebar still using the default font settings (e.g. headings, links font color); links, labels and h3 sections in the ‘post comments’ form also not matching the global font settings, specifically the colors which I setup. What I’m doing wrong? Any advice highly appreciated.

    Hi Tmrock

    Am glad you having progress on your site. On the second question, would you mind elaborating on it? I couldn’t quite get you clearly there.

    Looking forward to hear from you.

    Hi tmrock

    Sorry to hear about the hassle. Could you perhaps send through a link to your site so we can see what’s happening there.

    Thanks

    Thanks folks

    can’t send the link since I have at the moment only the local dev environment, I can send picture snapshots but looks this is not possible as attachment here in the post.
    Let me try to explain better. In the theme customization panels, a lot of options to change the page, masthead usw font types and font colors are available. But this settings are not consistently used in all areas of the site. For example if I define a custom menu having only external links and place this menu on the page sidebar, the font color set previously in the general customization for links don’t applies. The same issue with other elements like post comments. I post here my custom css which I use in order to fix / workaround this trouble. My expectation was that all about site customization specifically regarding fonts used for all elements and all widgets are handled in a central place and this is supposed to be everything under the “customize” entry from the dashboard and the usage of custom css for such basic elements is not needed. But possibly I misunderstood something or make something wrong.

    This are the setting I currently added in order to match the elements which by default don’t get’s the settings set in the customization panels. As I sad, links applies to sidebar custom menu’s, links in the pages are rendered fine.

    a {
  color: #B9B9B9;
}

a:hover,
a:focus,
a:active {
  color: #ffffff;
}

#secondary .widget .widget-title{
    color: #E2E2E2;
}

#comments-title,
#reply-title {
    color: #E2E2E2;
}

#comments .commentlist article .comment-author {
	color: #A2A2A2;
}

#commentform label {
    color: #A2A2A2;
}

    Thanks

    Hi, I Work Here

    Thanks for explaining further. Glad to hear you’ve made progress with Custom CSS. The link color issue should have been fixed in a recent update, the selector was updated from .entry-content a to #main a. Apologies about the other hassles. I’ll log a ticket so the guys can look into that. For now a CSS solution is what I would have sent through.

    Let me know if we can help further. Thanks for reporting.

    Hi, I Work Here

    The Customizer also outputs CSS into the head of the page so from a code point of view Custom CSS and the Customizer are very similar.

    Thanks again for your feedback.
