Hi,

My website is www.ohlala.hr

I’m using the following CSS to stroke the text of the [2nd parallax section](https://puu.sh/y1PRE/ebb57891ca.jpg):

```auto
.col-md-8 {
	text-shadow: -1px 0 purple, 0 1px purple, 1px 0 purple, 0 -1px purple;
}

```

However, the [text of the testimonial section](https://puu.sh/y1PSD/ce09477eab.png) is also being stroked because it also belongs to _col-md-8_ identifier.

How do I stroke only the text of the 2nd parallax section but not of the testimonial section?

Thanks,  
Larper

Hello there,

I hope you are doing well today.

The selector you are using will affect any other selector with that name so you are going to have to use something like the following:

```auto
div#shapely_home_parallax-10 .col-md-8 {
  text-shadow: -1px 0 purple, 0 1px purple, 1px 0 purple, 0 -1px purple;
}

```

Best Regards,
