Debi F asked 7 years ago

How do I change the text from white to black? I do not see an option. The text was black before I added the cover block. Thank you for the awesome videos.

Hi Debbie, Unfortunately, at the moment, the only way to change the color of the text within a Cover block is to use the Advanced section on the right to assign a custom CSS class to your block—then write custom CSS to style the block as you see fit. Or, you can go to: Customize > Additional CSS and add the following (where ‘#000000’ is the hex color for black): .wp-block-cover-text { color: #000000; } I hope at some point in the near future, the WordPress core team will add the ability to change the color of the text in the Cover block. Until then, I hope this helps!
