Footer Text - Font Colour and Spacing

Hi

I want to change a couple of things in the second footer widget area of my webpage.

In particular, I want to:

a) change the colour of the Google+ Page widget text to match the rest of the text used for widgets in that area and

b) space the text it a little better so it is not sitting right on top of the Google+ icon.

I've looked for the solution but I can't find it so I hope you can remind me how to do this. Let me know if you need an image of the page as I don't have the problem text showing on my homepage at the moment. Thanks!

 

Hello,

Could you please specify your issue with the help of screenshot images that of which text you want to change the color
and also provides us your website link so that we can able to provide you exact solution.

It's in the Second Footer Widget area.

Thanks!

 

Hello,

Paste this code in Custom CSS
Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS

Code:

.socialmedia-buttons.smw_left p {
color: red;
text-align: left;
}
.fsl.fwb a {
color: red;
}
 

Inplace of "red" put your color code.


Thanks & Regards

Thanks Gourav, I've tried what you suggested but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Can you suggest why?

 

Hello,

Paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

Code:

.socialmedia-buttons.smw_left p {
color: red ! important;
text-align: left  ! important;
}
.fsl.fwb a {
color: red ! important;
}
 

In place of "red" put your color or color code.
This will solve your issue.

 

Hi Gourav - still no luck, I'm afraid.

The text description is still in the default text colour (not the custom colour I want) and the spacing between the text and the icon hasn't changed which means it's sitting too close to the icon. Image attached.

If you can't offer another solution, I guess I'll just have to leave out the text and just have the icon.

Is there another way around this?

 

Hi again, I've decided to delete the Google+ plugin now as it seemed to be slowing my site down awfully after all that. Thanks for trying to help me with the text component of it. Can you recommend any fast, easy ways of integrating Google + into a wordpress site?

 

Hello,

There are multiple plugin available on WordPress.org site,
you can search any social media plugin there which will fulfill your requirement.

Or

You can try Social Media Widget plugin for this issue.
Download it from the link given below and install it from the Plugins panel (Plugins ->Add New ->Upload) in your Dashboard.

Thanks for that suggestion, Piyush. Unfortunately, though, that's the plugin I'm already using and which I can't get to display properly or load quickly. It's fine if I include just Facebook but the Google icon/text won't display properly (even using your suggestions) and adding Google+ into the mix makes my website go awfully slow. Back to the drawing board . . . ??

 

Hello,

Add the Google+ icon and text there as you had added it previously and after that provide the following information listed below.

Hi again,

Thanks for your offer of help. After a lot of trial and error, I've finally worked out how to get the Google+ icon displayed properly and linking to my Google+ page without slowing down the site. In the end, it wasn't as hard as I was making it. Once I worked out how to enter my custom google+ page url correctly, things worked a whole lot better. Thanks again for your patience and support.
