Hello,
I am trying to adjust the color of my site description, by going to Admin CP>General>Configuration>Site Description, and typing in some HTML, but it is truncating the "" marks after I save it.

Here is the code I'm trying to use:

Code:

Where there's a place for everything (ok, maybe not EVERYTHING, but <b>close</b> to everything at least). <p></p><p style="color: #306EFF"><big>Tech Support, Martial Arts, Sports, World and Tech News, etc.</big></p>

After I click Save, it changes to the following (and so the color does not change):

Code:

Where there's a place for everything (ok, maybe not EVERYTHING, but <b>close</b> to everything at least). <p></p><p style=color: #306EFF><big>Tech Support, Martial Arts, Sports, World and Tech News, etc.</big></p>

If you noticed, the code changed from

Code:

<p style="color: #306EFF">

to

Code:

<p style=color: #306EFF>

without the "" signs. And so consequently, I can't change the color.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance/

try this.

Code:

[color=#306eff]

I think that is the code.[/color]

Thanks, but that is BBCode, and it did not work in the site description.

Bump.
Can anyone help?

Hi!

If it doesn't work try CSS code.
Use code like this...

Code:

Where there's a place for everything (ok, maybe not EVERYTHING, but <b>close</b> to everything at least). <p></p><p class="description"><big>Tech Support, Martial Arts, Sports, World and Tech News, etc.</big></p>

No to apply color to it go to Admin CP > Display > Colors > CSS...
Add this code there

Code:

p.description {
color : red;
}

Change color as per your need.

Hmm...I tried that, but it truncated the "" signs again, around description. So the code doesn't work.

And the code after truncation is:

Code:

Where there's a place for everything (ok, maybe not EVERYTHING, but <b>close</b> to everything at least). <p></p><p></p><p class=description><big>Tech Support, Martial Arts, Sports, World and Tech News, etc.</big></p>

Where exactly you put the code.
I tested this in my forum and it works.
Put the code in this field > Site description * :

Yes, that's where I put it.
I put it in the Site Description field, saved it, added the CSS code, saw it didn't work, and so went back, and learned it truncated the "".

But does it still truncate the "" signs after you save it? It does on mine, and I think that is why it doesn't work...

May I remind you that double/triple posting is not tolerated unless separated by 24 hours. Use edit button.

Well, "" signs are truncated in my forum as well but it still works properly.

Did you put the CSS code into you CSS sheet?

Yes, I added the CSS code to the sheet, and saved it. The only thing I changed was adjusted the color from "red" to "blue". But no color at all was given to the text in the site description. Does it matter where in the CSS sheet the code goes?

EDIT: Aha! It DID matter! Fixed now, you can close this thread.

NO, it doesn't matter where you put it.
But its better to put at the bottom of all other codes.

Is there any error message above your CSS in red color?

Actually it did matter, because when I moved the code up from below:

/*IPB Tables*/
table.ipbtable th.formsubtitle,.formsubtitle {
margin-top: 0;
background-color: #transp;
}
table.ipbtable tfoot td {
background-image: url('http://upload-your-life.com/files/6j4breoup0261fgv70ez.gif');
height: 0px;


}

to right above it, it worked. I don't recall seeing any error message when it was in the wrong place, but nonetheless it didn't work until I moved it up.

SO, is it working now?
If yes, add solved tag to the topic

Already did it before you said that...

Oh! Thanks

Since the topic is solved, I'll lock it.
