Now you have clicked the color as described on the previous page here you then click contrast as shown below.

Step 5

Once contact has been selected a new image will appear with a box and two other choices below it.

Here you will see a black dot in the bottom left corner

To make this easier just drag and drop that black dot to the red side at the top on the right or, the top left side which is lighter for now.

This again will change your color but don't worry if this is not your color choice as you will make further adjustments to what you want later in the next couple of steps.

Step 6

Once done with step 5 the next option is using the sliding scale which is highlighter below

Here you can now start to select the color you prefer to use for this one I choose green as you can see. This now highlights my selected group of text to have a green background.

Step 7

The next part is the final section for these changes and that is the contrast of your selected color you choose and want.

Here is where you can choose how light or dark you want your colour to be.

As you can see sliding it to the left will become lighter or darker sliding this to the right.

just experiment and perhaps take note of the color - coding you are given as shown above.

Once done congrats you have created a group text with your selected color choice as the background.

Awesome to hear.

If you want to see further options of adding additional colour to this same group or adding colour to your text follow the next page.

Thanks for the blog as i wanted to know how to do these different things on my site. What else Id really like to know is how to make charts with checks next to the words instead of the dots or numers. I want to soon get really good with the designing like this.

Thanks heaps for putting this together for us all Andre, very appreciated, as I have wondered about things like this on more than one occasion.


My only question, what if you highlight text in a new post in wordpress and it DOESNT appear with the options box you displayed above? Is there some kinda setting i should've changed or something?


Any feedback heaps appreciated, but thanks again brother, this is super helpful stuff.

Hi, Matty thank you.

Instead of doing it the way is shown in the training with a new post you can once you create a new paragraph select the plus sign and you should see the word group.
As shown in the first image below

Once you click group it will create that box outline for you and then you can type or copy and paste your text.

Once done you can then go to the right side of the block editor and then do what background or colours you wish to use as normal.

If you can't see group when you click the plus sign in the search box above that same section type in a forward slash then group

This will be the quickest way to find group rather than looking down the left-hand side for that name.

As shown in the second image below

Once found the same deal click group a new outline will appear and then type or copy and paste your selected text and then go to the right side to do the background and colours you wish to use.

Hope that helps

Andre
