    Hi. Just wondering if I can change the font in slide show photo captions. I looked through all the dashboard items and can't find out how to change it. Thanks

    Nivo slider, but I could use another one if the font isn't able to be altered on the Nivo. Site's not done yet, so photos are out of order.

    Hi,

    You can alter this code.


    .nivo-caption p {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-size: 18px;
    line-height: 20px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 10px 15px;
    font-family: Verdana;
    }

    Hi Paul, where exactly do I find that bit of code? I looked at the Stylesheet and couldn't figure out where to find it.
    thanks

    Hi Melody

    You would find this code in the style.css file, and it is down around line 2050.

    But if you wish to change, you don't do this in the style sheet, but rather you amend the code and typically post into the Striking General Panel in the custom css field which is found at the bottom of the panel.

    The only thing in the style sheet is this:

    /*
    Theme Name: Striking
    Description: Designed by Kaptinlin.
    Follow KaptinLin on Twitter for the updates.
    Get support from Forum.
    Author: Kaptinlin
    Version: 5.1.8.3
    Author URI: http://themeforest.net/user/Kaptinlin
    */


    There is nothing else.

    Ok, went to the general panel and saw the custom CSS box. So do I just need to add the snippet of code that I want to change and that's it?
  • Vote Up0Vote Down WebsysWebsys
    Yes.

    And stupid me, I should have said screen.css file, not style.css. To many things going on at one time. My apologies. The style.css has nothing to do with the screen options but is just the style for the Active Themes Striking panel. The screen.css file found in the CSS folder contains all the master styles for the theme, where they are set by css.

    I must have been wearing my dunce cap the moment I typed that.......

    As for the snippet, post it here and we will confirm to you that it is ok.

    No problem. Where exactly is the screen.css file? I looked everywhere and can't see it.

    Hi

    The screen.css file is in the CSS folder of the striking theme. So if you go to your themeforest download which you have unpacked, you have to unpack as well your striking.zip. You will see it contains many folders and files. One folder is the CSS folder, and it contains the screen.css file.

    You cannot access this file via the wp editor as it only allows you to access files in the Striking root, not in any of the Striking subfolders. Usually, anyone who does editing has dreamweaver on their local machine, and is often opening the core files to check something out. I know I have to all the time as I don't remember anymore half the stuff in the theme!! (info overload ;) )
