Hello,
I used to have a not-so-great free theme for years and switched Newspaper theme now. Looks really good so far, but I have issues with the font and my text colors.
E.g. if I try to change the text color via Theme Panel, it doesn’t work. The changes are ignored.
With the old theme I might have changed fonts and colors years ago in style.css, so far I can remember correctly. The issue only occurs with my generel text font and h1 and h2, which probably were the things I had changed years ago. H3, H4 and so on all perfectly react to my changes in Theme Panel.
I deleted the old theme, but still now changes. Also deleted a Cache Plugin. Same.
It seems like the old settings are in my wordpress sites ‘DNA’ now and I can’t get them out. Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Calin,
thanks for your reply. The issue occurs on all pages and posts. E.g. if I want to create a new post and write something the standard text color is dark blue (which I changed it to years ago). Changes in Theme Panel wont help. I would need to color every block in that post black manually.
Here is an example: http://handwerkerkosten.net/hecke-schneiden-preise/
The post title is in dark blue, even though I chose black in theme panel. The text color of the first paragraph is dark blue, aswell. The first h2 is in a font that is completely different than all others, even though they have all the same in theme panel. The rest of the post I colored black manually to show the difference.
Hope that helps.
Hi,
Is look like you have set the dark blue color for h1, h2 and p https://www.screencast.com/t/8rIuhD6u please check if you have the custom css in Theme panel>Custom code>Custom css color: #001447
If you want to use a custom css to change the color in black you can try this custom css
.td-container h1, .td-container h2, .td-container p {
color: #111111;
}
Thank you!
Hi Calin,
thanks for taking a look for me! I checked Theme panel>Custom code>Custom css and there is no custom css there.
I then tried out the custom css you wrote me
.td-container h1, .td-container h2, .td-container p {
color: #111111;
}
but still p,h1,h2 remain #001447 on pages and posts. Also p, h1 and h2 have predefined font styles and font sizes I can’t change via Theme Panel.
Is there a way to bring everything back to the original default settings oder to delete all changes that were made? What would be the easiest / smartest solution to solve this issue?
Thanks for your time!
Hi,
If you made some changes in the theme file, then you’ll need to reinstall the theme or update it, in this way the changes will be override by the theme.
In order to reset the theme settings please check the options from Theme panel>Import / export -> https://www.screencast.com/t/9sdPXMcU
I check your website and you are using an old version or Newspaper ( v8.8.2), note that Woocommerce make some changes that is not longer compatible with the theme version that you are using; in order to solve this problem I recommend you to make a full backup to your website and make a theme update; here you can check our changelog ( down in page ) to see all the changes and the news from our theme -> https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609?s_rank=1

Hello,
I think I didn’t explain the issue well.
I did not make changes in Newspapers style.css, I made changes in my old themes style.css years ago. I then override the old theme with Newspaper.
In my old themes style.css I changed e.g. the font of h1, h2 and p and the text color to #001447.
Today, after overriding the old theme with Newspaper this style changes still show up. I also deleted the old theme via FTP.
I also tried your advice of resetting the theme setting. Didn’t help unfortunately. I then changed the theme to another one and fully deleted Newspaper. I then uploaded Newspaper again, because you wrote that this will override old settings. Unfortunately it didn’t.
How can I reverse the changes that were done a few years ago? Is there a way at all? E.g. I don’t want my text color to be #001447 (darkblue) anymore. But I can’t change it via Theme Panel and I also don’t see a solution to change it via style.css, cause there is no code that shows the old changes (like text color beeing #001447).
Thanks for the update tip, but at the moment I’m not sure if I can use Newspaper with this issue or I have to switch to the old theme and style again.
Hi,
Is possible to have a plugin like google fonts css, please deactivate this plugin, clear all cache and try again.
If the problem is still there pleas deactivate all non theme plugins, clear all cache and try again.
Thank you!
Thanks for your help and patience with me! An active google easy font plugin was the problem. Issue was solved after deactivating it.
