Thank you for the help, I need to change the color of the font on my new website.
Peter says
I have installed Easy Google Fonts and most of it works fine as far as the styles and positioning go but strangely nothing happens to the main font color in appearances even though the background color works, which is something I don’t really need anyway. Changing the color of the paragraph works fine too.
I am using the Simple Catch Pro theme.
Could you please advise, I would like to move on from this.
Thanks
Peter
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Peter,
We are not sure but it could be some other CSS rule in your theme’s stylesheet or settings overriding Easy Google Fonts settings.
