  • Hi DLMike, welcome to WPSE, this is purely related to CSS not specific to WordPress and considered off-topic. Also you didn't post any on what have you tried.

  • You haven't activated child theme.

  • Hi DLMike, I think we need some more information. Are you sure your child theme is activated and that the code was added to the theme options of the child theme? Otherwise it could be an issue with the CSS but we would need a link to determine. I agree this may be off topic as it may not be WordPress specific.

  • Yes I am sure. Because i have added some other older code in the theme settings of the custom css and they worked perfectly for instance #javo-navibar ul.navbar-left>li>.dropdown-menu>li>a{color:black !important;}

This CSS will make your grey text in some else you want:

.widget_posts_wrap .latest-posts .col-md-12 a span {color:#your-hex-code !Important;}

This is for subtitles in this widget where you have latest post.

And this is for titles:

.widget_posts_wrap .latest-posts .col-md-12 h3 a {color: #your-hex-code !important;}

Also just note to change #your-hex-code part with actual hex code.

I hope this helps.

  • Maybe you don't have right configuration in your theme set that it load CSS from right source, or you don't have activated child theme or something, please check that stuff, because this CSS is right
