  Hi, I’m fairly new to CSS and I can’t figure out my mistake here.

  I’m trying to apply a CSS class to a text block in page builder. I’ve created the class and added it successfully, but when I do, the class applies to “p” & “h2” sidewide (making nearly all my content white on white.)

  I’m wondering if maybe it’s the “!important;” I used? but if I don’t use it, it doesn’t apply to the element I’m trying to style.

  Any help diagnosing my problem would be appreciated, thank you.

  Here’s my CSS:

  .test h2, p{
  color: #ffffff!important;
  text-align:center;
  }

  .test h2 {
  font-size: 30px;
  }

  .test p {
  font-size: 16px;
  }

  Note, if you’re looking at my site, I’ve temporarily changed the color #ffffff to #d2d2d2 just so I can see what’s going on with the text more easily & work on my site in the meantime.

  Hi,

  Try this

  .test h2, .test p{
  color: #ffffff !important;
  text-align:center;
  }

  because .test h2, p will apply that style to .test h2 and on all p tags.

  Let us know,

  Thanks,
  laranz.

  Thanks for this too laranz! Worked like a charm.

  Sorry for my ignorance, I knew it was something small I was missing in my code, I just didn’t know what!

  The help is much appreciated. 🙂
