WP 5.0.2 – cannot apply text color to selected words only.

Hello,

After upgrading to the annoying WP 5.0.2 I cannot apply text edits for color to single/number of words in a given post. Instead, the entire paragraph gets that color, not just the selected word(s)/sentence(s). Why is that?

Please advise.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your response. I am not sure what is not clear in my initial report, but let me attempt restate.

I cannot apply color to a portion of the text in a paragraph of a posting. In contrast, I can bold portion of any text, I can make it italic, but I cannot apply color to ONLY the desired text – instead, the entire text of the entire paragraph gets that new color, which is wrong.

Please advise.

Thanks

I cannot change the text colour in a paragraph of any post I write. If we use the text of this message for example, I cannot select the word “colour” and make it appear red. Instead, the entire text changes colour to red. On the other hand, I am able to change boldness of italic for any given word or number of words and that selection sticks to those words only. I do not know how to make mike explanation more clear.

Please advise.

I cannot make a single or number of words get any color of my choice in a paragraph on any post on pavlikeni.com without getting the text in that entire paragraph coloured in that same colour! Do you still not comprehend?

Here is a link of a regular post.

The text in italic only CANNOT be colour coded in blue or red or any colour. Instead, the entire paragraph it is located in gets the colour desired for that text only. How come I can make only that text italic (or bold for that matter), but cannot make it blue or any other colour without that colour being applied to the rest of the unselected text in that paragraph??!!!!??!?!?!?!

I hope it is clear now.

Hello,

Thank you for your response BUT you do not understand me.

I do not want ALL italic text to be blue. I mentioned italic in order to isolate portion of the text I wanted to apply colour to.

Why can I not give colour to ANY text in my posts with the colour selection tool to the right (without that colour be applied to the entire paragraph where the portion of the text to be coloured is located), which is the only way this should be done. I and anyone should be able to select and change and apply colour to any portion of the text of their posts when they wish, the same way we were able to do that in the previous version of your template and WordPress.

If you still do not understand what the problem is, start writing a post, with say 2 paragraphs in it and select any number of words in any of the 2 paragraphs, 1st OR 2nd, then try to colour those few words in any colour of your choice and see what happens – the entire paragraph those words are located in gets that colour, instead of ONLY them (the selected few words).
