As my site http://newwebsite.outfit24.com.au (still being built) is heavily image-based, I want the header text colour to change so that it stands out from the background (both dark and light images). I have used Elementor for the bulk building of my site and I’m using the "Custom CSS and JS" plugin to write my CSS and change the header colour. In elementor, I set the header CSS class to “custom-header”.
I have tried using “mixed-blend-mode: difference;” but mixed-blend-mode is highlighted red and doesn’t seem to be working. Here is a screenshot of mix-blend-mode not working: https://ibb.co/MNbf84z
.custom-header a{
color:#fff!important;
}
.custom-header {
mix-blend-mode:difference!important;
}
I expect for the CSS to work, changing the colour of the header allowing it to be visible whether it's in front of #fff, #000, and any image on the site but for some reason, mix-blend-mode is highlighted red and isn't working. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks for your help:)
Blend mode does not work when you have any z-index value for the section or its parent section.
For anyone who might still need that. I tried using mix-blend-mode in wordpress for a while, being hit by that "unknown property mix-blend-mode" error. As far as I noticed, the css editors provided by wordpress have that error, but if I make my own html section (as many themes support, I guess all of them) and make a <style>.blahblah {mix-blend-mode: difference;}</style>, that makes it work. Worth trying.
Conclusion: Don't use wordpress css editors. Use an html section and write styles in it.

I want my Wordpress website navigation menu font larger And make the font become normal type, but NOT capital letters.
I have googled it and the result said need to change the theme style.css in WordPress dashboard, based on the tips but there has another issue, the style.css in my child theme is almost blank, only a few lines with the theme description (i.e. theme name / version / templates/ author etc.) , but Not the site theme CSS. Is the theme creator hide the CSS? So why this happened? And what should I do?
please see the screenshots below.
style.css
Big thanks in advance.
Most of the themes also have a section where you can put custom CSS. You can usually find this in the Wordpress Customizer, otherwise in the theme settings. This way you are always sure it wont disapear after updating your theme. Of course you can also use a child theme, but the style.css above doesn't look like it is from a child theme.
The CSS you are probably looking for is the following:
.nav{
font-size:14px;
}
If you don't know the correct CSS selector (.nav) you can find it here. To see what styles you should use for the element you can look at the CSS Reference of W3Schools. Hope it helps you.
Use a code inspector ie. Chrome dev tools to make the changes you want to the existing style and copy/paste that code into your child theme stylesheet.
EDIT
In Chrome for example, open the code inspector using ctrl+shift+i might be different on a mac, I don't know. by default it will show you your html markup and your css styles below. Locate the element you want to change either by finding it in the html portion or using the selector tool (top-right of the developer window) and selecting the element you want to change on your page.
That will show you the css for that element that you can modify as you wish underneath. Once you are satisfied with the styles you have changed/removed/added, you can copy that code to your child theme css.
Other than that, I can only suggest you find some resources and videos on using dev tools to help you out. If you are building a child theme you will need to be using them significantly.
PS. One more thing to note is that some wp themes have some code that you can only really change with a plugin or by writing custom css under the customizer.
You can figure out exactly what you need to write in the custom css area by using chrome's dev tools and selecting the font you want to change.
After spending a while creating an online portfolio, then uploading it, I noticed an issue with one of my sections. On the "Advertisement" section, I noticed it was not displaying the information, just the title. So, I kept on re-pushing the stylesheet.css, even editing it, and it would still look the same. The HTML, CSS, and JS is working how I wrote it. But it is just the section that is not showing. After browsing online and on stackoverflow for an answer, I believe it has to do with Firefox. When using Firebug, I noticed the section's background has been removed, causing the entire section to "disappear." It works just fine on Chrome. I'm not worried about IE, I know that browser has some issues in itself. Anyway, would anyone on here have an idea to resolve this issue, if I can? Or even, what could be causing this issue?

It is the opposite for me your entire site works in firefox for me but not in chrome, looking through your code, its being caused by your naming conventions. Namely #advertise
I use the adguard extension in chrome and below is the css it plugs into my html pages to hide ads, so im guessing your using an adblocker in firefox
#adsense_top, #adsensewide, #adspace, #adspace_top, #adspot-300x250-pos-1, #adspot-300x250-pos-2, #adswidget1-quick-adsense, #adswidget2-quick-adsense, #adtext, #adtop, #adv-masthead, #adv-top, #advert1, #advert2, #advertbox3, #advertise, #advertisement1, #advertisetop, #advertising-container, #advertising_wrapper {
display: none!important;
}
Might as well post a random answer on this... As i wont visit posted links by new users.. i'm just gonna guess that your background image might not be 100%...
In general i use background-image instead of background.. Short hand can be a little pain and breaks in some browsers if not perfect.
so i would compare against the following example
background-image:url('images/mybg.jpg');
background-image:url('http://somesite.com/images/mybg.jpg');
Basically alot of people do not use the url and just go straight for a file name or dont quote it.. And have seen that be the problem in the past, so do use the url('') method.
Otherwise if it still fails to work and you know the image is absolute, you would then have some other css that is either over riding your elements background or is preventing it from loading.
Another trick is using your console / inspect element to manually inject the background-image and see if that works... So once the page has loaded in chrome, inspect the element as normal.. And double click on your css property listing as you can add your own styles this way and if it fails, then its not the markup but something else.
Stewartside helped me use JQuery to create a specific function for my main navigation on my website (thanks again!). I created a child theme to add the changes to my header.php file and it has started to cause a weird layout change. My homepage should have 20px padding, which is NOT a special CSS modification, but the child theme automatically removes it. This doesn't happen with other pages on my site, just the homepage. I have also added/removed the jquery code to make sure that wasn't the problem; the style.css file for the child theme only has the "child theme" coding, no modified CSS.

Is there anything that would cause this?
Get the Firebug add on for your browser (available on Chrome and Firefox). Then right click the section that is causing the issue and you can see the coding and all the relevant CSS functions including the files they are in (to the chosen section). It will also show which CSS function is being prioritised compared to the other. Then you can modify the functions or add new ones to make it work.
A dirty way to do things is to use !important however this should only be used sparingly as it can screw with other pages. An easy way to avoid that is to make the CSS function for example .entry-content { color:#fff; } becomes .post-x .entry-content { color:fff!important; }
Test things out. Firebug is amazing help when editing CSS. You can even do some of the tests in firebug itself.
ive made this Tumblr blog
(its just a shell at the moment) and ive got my top nav from my website and copied it into the tumblr code to give my blog the same look as my website (unless any one can recomend a better way of doing it ?)
Any way the nav links all appear underlined ive looked all through the external css and the inline css using firebug but still cant see why this is any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
Sam
Links are underlined by default.
If you want to get rid of it, target your a tags and set the text-decoration: none;
I installed the latest version of Wordpress and added the WP-Syntax plugin (and also the Markdown Extra plugin, but I think it's unrelated to this issue).
It works perfectly with both themes that ship with Wordpress: looking good using WordPress Default 1.6 and looking equally good with the WordPress Classic 1.5 theme.
However it doesn't work with the excellent LightWord theme, which I would like to use. The code box looks strange with the right border at the end of the actual code:
My thoughts:
I have tried investigating this with Firebug without any success. The CSS from the WP-Syntax plugin should be the same in all three theme cases. So the fact that it looks wierd with this theme has to do with some inherited CSS property from the LightWord theme.
This in turn probably means that the WP-Syntax plugin should reset something more for its CSS to work correctly.
Help!
Advanced CSS isn't something I'm good at. But I would very much like to resolve this problem as soon as possible. I'm also curious from a technical view point what could be causing this behavior? I hope someone with good CSS skills will be able to help out!
We (you if you want to, me if you don't feel like it) could then file a bug report in the appropriate place, to get these components working together.
To resolve this I understand you need more than screenshots. I have a link with the problem theme, which could be used to investigate further.

Edit: In response to a comment I'm also including a link to the working web site using the classic theme and the same plugin setup: Link to a working theme with these plugins (Taken down as the problem is solved)
Thank you for reading!
Summary of problems I'd like to solve:
What's the best way to get rid of the right and bottom inner border in the code box? I first noticed the right border, but the bottom border is also an eye sore.
The code box right border isn't visible. It's due to .wp_syntax {width:100%;} and if I set it to 99% it's visible again. Do you consider this to be a problem with the theme or the plugin?
Making changes in the theme (style.css) or the plugin (wp-syntax.css) would be preferred if that's possible, so one of them could be standard. But which one? And how?
The problems you are having are due to the stylesheets of WP-Syntax and LightWord interfering with each other. I don't really think that the problems are with the theme or the plugin, they are just down to how the two interact with each other.
To make all of the required changes, ideally you would edit styles in both wp-syntax.css and style.css. You can however cheat a little.
In style.css add the following:
.wp_syntax { width:auto; }
.wp_syntax table { border:0 !important; }
.wp_syntax table td { border:0 !important; }
These changes should solve all of the problems, with the benefit of keeping all of the changes localised to a single file (style.css of the LightWood theme). The other tables in the example should all remain unchanged as well.
