Change Heading Backgrounds WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hi,

I am a little stuck with the heading in Wordpress. When I select Heading 2 to make my text bigger, I am getting a blue background and dotted lines around the text.

I have been through the CSS but cannot find how to remove it. I think the dotted lines are an image in the images folder but I still can't find the code to remove it.

The site is at: http://4ginter.net/demosite/ - It's the text on the blue background with dotted lines around. I just want it to be presented as standard text but in a larger font size.

Code responsible for style for HEading 2 is in your http://4ginter.net/demosite/wp-content/themes/simpleblue/style.css file, it starts in line 1312:

.entry-content h2 {
background: lightBlue none repeat scroll 0 0;
padding: 5px 0 5px 10px;
border: 1px dashed;
overflow: hidden;
margin:5px 0;

}

Hello,

find this in your style.css :

.entry-content h2 {
background: lightBlue none repeat scroll 0 0;
padding: 5px 0 5px 10px;
border: 1px dashed;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 5px 0;
}

This is path: http://4ginter.net/demosite/wp-content/themes/simpleblue/style.css

and remove background and border, that should be working.

You should consider using Inspect element or Firebug tool in the future, it will help you a lot.
