Cannot change style of site title
Permalink
Hello. I am (with reservations) trying to migrate my site from 5.6 to 5.7. Unfortunately I am getting stuck quite quickly. I cannot do a global change to the style (font, color) of the site title. I am using the customize theme sidebar. Any changes I make do not take effect. I have cleared the cache and refreshed the page. Must I change style on every page or can this be done globally?? Other settings seem to work such as header background color..
I am self-hosted 5.7.5.2 on a debian 8 vm with apache2 server. Thanks

Hi. Thanks for replying. Yes, I do click that. Other settings seem to work, like the background color for instance. But "Site Title" settings have no effect.
Perhaps its a bug..

Are you using a custom theme?

further details of my setup:
- I have a one core, multi site setup
- on this particular site I have "cloned" the elemental theme according to this tut (thought it might fix things - didn't)

maybe this setup is too complex or misconfigured?

For testing, can you make another install on the same server, that doesn't share its core, and see if the Site Title customizable style works?

Update: the problem is only happening with the "empty site" sample content. Not happening with the "full site" sample content..

"Any changes I make do not take effect."
When you make a change to Site Title, for example color, does the color picker save the new color, but does not apply it to the text?
Site Title will target text that uses the #header-site-title selector.

Example: Site Title - #header-site-title use in Elemental
Have you tried manually adding #header-site-title to text? This could be done using the Content block or HTML block.

Hi thanks for following up - it gives me faith in the c5 community.
I decided to backtrack and redo the sites with the full site sample content. I will try pruning it down then inserting my content.
I don't know a lot about css but I can tell you that when I selected inspect element in chrome, some of the css that is present with the full site is missing on the empty site..
I haven't proceeded far with my new approach yet but will let you know if I hit any more snags.
Thanks

The customizable styles and Custom CSS can be set for just a page or the entire site.
Are you saving the changes?
I have attached screenshots describing this.
