"header-text" color on iphone

[beno]

Hi,

My “header-text” looks fine on a web browser colored white but when viewed on a iphone or ipad the phone number only changes color to red. Which makes it hard to read with a red background.

My html kung-fu isn’t working. Please help.

Beno.

Hello,

iOS sees a phone number and changes it to a link. So whatever you have set as the link color is going to take effect. With CSS, you’d simply change the link color in that specific area if you wanted something different there.

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

#branding .header-text a { color: #ffffff; }

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.
