Black demo and general theme color settings don't work for my grid

Hi,

I’ve tried several different times – I imported the black demo settings, customized them too and no matter what I do, the posts in the masonry grid on my homepage come out with a white background with white text! I have no idea where that’s coming from – I tried toggling it on the Theme panel in the colors section, but nothing I did made a difference. Post background colors, category colors, nothing works within that theme panel.

I tried to figure it out with my limited knowledge of Firebug, and it looked like there was some code from VC that made it all white background, but I don’t know how to get rid of it, or more importantly why it’s there in the first place.

Please help! The unreadable text is making me nuts! Thanks!

Hi,
This issue is due to the fact that the theme does provide a black version, but visual composer elements are stand-alone and are not affected by the theme style. THe masonry grid is one of these elements. Styling is added by visual composer and the text is being changed due to the black demo. Visual composer elements do not know which style you use so the color cannot change based on the demo installed. Unfortunately the masonry element has no background options. In this case you need to use a css trick to do it.
Please use this code in the theme panel custom css code:
.vc_grid-item-mini .vc_gitem-zone{
background-color:#1a1a1a!important;
}

Thank you!
