Good morning,
We’ve had issues with not being able to override fallback settings when it comes to text and table formatting.
For instance, if I use HTML to format the color of the text, if I go back to use the visual editor as opposed to code and make a part of the text bold, then the added script breaks the formatting and makes the text blue (which was set somewhere as the default). The same thing happens with tables with HTML. The default is to make the background white and I cannot override it to make it transparent with CSS, only another colour.
I’ve added the changes for text in Advanced Styling in Enfold, but it doesn’t override the fallback formatting. I don’t want to break anything by creating conflicting formatting so I want to be sure to change it in the right place.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,

Thanks for the login details. Could you create an example page where we can see this problem?
Best regards,

You will find the example page I created in the private section along with the password to access it.
I’ve readded the explanation on the page itself.Thank you,

Thanks for that. Try applying the styling directly to the strong tag instead, I’ve edit your example for reference.
Best regards,

I understand that it works but I am looking for how to make it the default instead of adjusting every element in HTML. The same applies for the tables. It would be much more efficient for us to generate content if the default for bold text was black and the tables were transparent, as almost every single instance would require those elements to be as such.
It would make more sense for us to apply styling directly for the rare occasions that we would want it to be something else.
Thank you,

Then you can use CSS, for example:
p strong { color: #000 !important; }
If you need to learn basic CSS, then there are plenty of free resources online. W3Schools is a good one for example.
Best regards,

I have no doubt that I can improve my skills in CSS, thank you for the resources. However, that is not the issue I am currently facing. So perhaps a summary could help.
Regarding CSS:
1) As previously mentioned, CSS doesn’t reliably override the blue. Additionally, on our entire website (not just the pages I’m working on), I would want the bold elements to also not be blue, but black. However, very importantly, if I do a hard global override to make it all black using CSS, then some elements that we’ve purposefully formatted differently in the paragraph section would be overwritten by black. That is why we find it important to just change the color of the default bold text instead of affecting entire paragraph sections. We want to fix the issue at its core, not look for solutions for every page or global CSS overrides affecting formatting of entire sections.
2) CSS doesn’t override the tables to make them transparent, only to change their background to another color. Changing them to a color that matches the background is an ok workaround, but if we end up changing the theme colors on our website, then all tables using that workaround will no longer match the background. That is why we find it important for the default behavior of tables being transparent and not with a white background.Current implementations of CSS
You can find all the global CSS we’ve added in the General Styling section of the Enfold theme.Summary of our issue
Again, as much as I appreciate your suggestions in overriding the default formatting, my initial question was really in regards to fixing the default formatting itself. So in our case:
1) Bold text being blue instead of black
2) Background of tables being white instead of transparentI use the Twenty Twenty-Five theme to build one of our subdomains and the text there is black. The default is never for bold text to be blue, so somewhere it was changed to blue and we would like to change it back to black. However, due to the native settings and the many styling options in Enfold we are reaching out to you to change it reliably without creating contradictions resulting in formatting issues.
Best,
