Page Builder and WordPress 2014 Theme

I’m still very much on the learning curve for Page Builder and have created a simple page with two widgets – arbitrary text and a list of previous posts. However, the Page Builder elements don’t seem to be inheriting the CSS of the theme (looks fine in Editor mode though) and I can’t find any way to force an override – PB 1.5.3/WP 3.9. Am I to assume that PB is only intended for use with siteorigin themes?

Thanks
Richard

    Hi Technomad

    Twenty Fourteen expects all of it’s widgets to be displayed on a dark background, unfortunately meaning that it’s not quite ready for Page Builder. Below are a set of CSS selectors that can help. Download and activate a plugin like Simple Custom CSS and insert the below into that plugin’s interface. Hope that helps.

    /* Page Builder Twenty Fourteen Primary Content Area Input Fields, Links & Widget Titles */
 
#primary .widget input,
#primary .widget textarea {
    border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
    border-radius: 2px;
    color: #2b2b2b;
    padding: 8px 10px 7px;
}
 
#primary .widget textarea {
    width: 100%;
}
 
#primary .widget input:focus,
#primary .widget textarea:focus {
    border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
    outline: 0;
}

#primary .widget a {
	color: #24890d;
}

#primary .widget a:hover {
	text-decoration: underline;
}

#primary .widget-title {
	color: #111;
}

    Andrew, that’s perfect, thanks – Yep, it does indeed look like 2014 assumes you’re not going to be using widgets in entries with a white background. That’s an inheritance model they could do with fixing! Thanks again for your help :)

    Super, glad to hear that did the trick! All the best.
