Hello,
I'm designing a website for a client in APWT, using the Pivot theme, and the text on one page has gotten stuck on green. I can't change the color. I've tried refreshing the page and logging out and back in, but the lime green text won't budge.
I've also found that, when it's not insisting on being green, it insists that all copy-and-pasting will occur in the default tiny blue font, even if the font surrounding the text I'm pasting is in readably large black text. Even if I paste in the middle of an existing correctly-formatted word, the pasted text will still be tiny and blue.
How do I fix these bugs so I can make the text whatever color I want, and make the copy-and-pasted text take on the same formatting as the text surrounding it?
Thanks in advance.
Stephanie

Could you provide us with a link to the webpage, so we can see what you are referring to?

It's still a work in progress, but here it is: http://anthonybliberty.myallprowebtools.com/Truckers/
He just told me he'll want to use a different theme, but I'd like to get an idea of how to avoid or fix this in case it happens again.

Re: Page text getting stuck at a certain color
I am not entirely sure what happened. If you look at the source code for that page you will see the text inside of several span tags, which is odd. This could be the result of changing the text color many times in the WYSIWYG editor, but the editor typically avoids stacking span tags like this.
I do not believe changing the theme is going to correct this.
I would suggest copying all of the text out of the webpage editor, into a plain text editor like notepad, to save the words but not the formatting. Then if you clear the webpage, and paste the plain text content into a blank editor, you can start adding the formatting back. Hopefully starting from a clean slate would be all you need to fix this!

Re: Page text getting stuck at a certain color
Thanks, John. Transferring the page content to another document, deleting all the words on the page, turning the words black in the document into which I'd pasted them, then pasting them back into the WYSIWYG editor worked.
