Why you can't add gradients to text in Illustrator | Simple Fix

Bro is a legend, straight to the point and the only one who provides a fix. Thank you mate.

Finally someone who knows what they're talking about. Every google search has been "Go to the appearance window, blah blah blah" But none of them would tell you the ACTUAL appearance window, so the entire time I'm just assuming it's the one on the right of the screen. You have been the first person I've seen with enough common sense to tell us we have to go to the window tab to get the appearance window we need. Also appreciate not making a 20 minute video for a simple feature! Thank you very much! This video was of great help! 🤘

I just want to say thank you for saving my life. I was placed in a design job with no experience and having to play catch up with the kiddos with years of experience ahead of me. Your tutorials are saving my life and making me feel less stressed so thank you! :D

Thank you sir, I was stuck on not being able to use gradient and everytime I did it turned Blue when moving around the gradient bar and as soon as I let go of the bar it turned back to it's original color. Subscribed!

Jumping in here to say you need to select with the Selection Tool (V) NOT the Type Tool - was wondering why this fix wasn't working but this is it!

How to fox it permanently

[@jeremiahroycewooten]

That is so stupid. I see no reason why we have to do this when you have all the same options in the properties>appearance window. We shouldn't have to add a new property, the fill is already there.... Adobe why.....
