Hi all,
I'm pretty new to WordPress, pretty happy with how my site now looks overall but I've noticed that when I access the site on my phone with dark mode enabled, it really doesn't look very good. Is there a way that I can disable dark mode on my site, so if someone has dark mode enabled on their phones OS it doesn't actually change the look of my site?
thank you! Apologies if it's a stupid question
what’s the theme you’re using? look for a setting to disable dark mode.
Like the other comment said, I’m pretty sure this is a theme-specific setting.
I guess it’s also possible to have a “dark mode plugin” although if that was the case I don’t think you would be asking here because you would just disable that plugin.
WordPress core does not have a dark mode.
I’ll just assume your active theme is doing it.
It’s definitely fixable, although the ease of the fix will depend on which theme it is. It could be a setting somewhere, or it could involve a code snippet to dequeue the “dark mode stylesheet” or it could involve loading a new replacement stylesheet without the dark mode CSS rules.
Just one example I found: [https://wordpress.com/support/add-dark-mode-to-your-site/](https://wordpress.com/support/add-dark-mode-to-your-site/)
Although again, this could vary depending on which theme you use.
If in doubt, you could reach out to your theme author. And if you name the theme here, someone here may be able to point you in the right direction as well.
So you want to chase peeps away that need darkmode?
Just make your site look nice + accessible for the impaired in all modes
