[Support request] Background Color issues in WP Editor

[Kirsty]

I’m having issues with the WP editor where the default text color is super pale, and the title is White on White Background – so unable to see the text or the cursor.

This is a new issue for this particular website that has a dark background set via GP customiser. I have updated to the latest GP theme and doesn’t solve the issue. I also tried changing the background color of the editor via a editor stylesheet but it doesn’t seem to register…

How can I fix this?

Hi there,

would you want a ‘dark’ background in the editor ? Or just to fix the content title ?

[Kirsty]

I think dark background would be best. I tried to change the bg to a dark color using add_editor_style() but it didn’t register… maybe because the parent generatepress theme sets this too? What’s the best way to go about setting a dark editor bg?

Try this Snippet:

add_action( 'enqueue_block_editor_assets', function() {
    $css = 'body .block-editor__container .editor-styles-wrapper{background-color: #ff0000;}';
    wp_add_inline_style( 'generate-block-editor-styles', $css );
}, 100 );
