Change background color
-
Hi,
I’m not good with code. How do I change the background color in the theme?

Hey there AnnetteTH,
How are you doing today?
Would you mind posting a link to your site and let me know which background color would you like to change and I’ll be happy to assist you in doing that with some custom CSS π
Cheers,
BojanHi Bojan
Thanks for your reply. This is the test site I’m using to play with the theme.
http://annettehyllested.com/wp/pixelmobtest/I’m not sure what color I will go for, but I was wondering how I can best change the white space behind the post images?
Cheers,
AnnetteHey again Annette,
If this the color you’re trying to change http://screencast.com/t/cU3cZtJm then I guess the easiest way to do that would be with CSS.
Please try adding the following CSS code in the style.css file of your child theme or if your theme doesn’t have custom CSS tab add it in your site using the following plugin:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/simple-custom-css
div#items { background-color: #fff; }Replace the color hex value to change the background color. You can use sites similar to this one to get hex value for the color of your choice:
Hope this helps π
Cheers,
BojanThanks Bojan
It worked with the plugin. However, Im not happy with the background as the color change didn’t include the border. If you go to http://annettehyllested.com/wp/pixelmobtest/ you’ll see a white border around the black background that I added.
Can you help me fix that? Otherwise, i might just leave it white as default.
Thanks for your help,
AnnetteHey again Annette,
The reason this happens is because there is 0.5% left and right margin on that element and also the element width is 99% so the background is not applied there.
To remove that you can try adding the following:
div#items { margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; width: 100%; }This should be the result http://screencast.com/t/j8VaqNxcLi.
Hope this helps π
Cheers,
BojanThanks for the superb help, Bojan.
Glad I could help π
Cheers,
BojanHi Bojan and Annetter π
first of all thanks Bojan, you’re doing a good job here!
Bojan: I have a problem, I’m not receiving any email with tickets related to FullFolio, what can I do? thanks in advance.
Best.
Hey there dinamiko,
I’m not sure I’m the best person to answer that question π
I’m getting notifications from the threads I follow by using the checkbox below ( Notify me of follow-up posts via email).
As for the new threads I’m also not sure if there is something you can do about those in order to get email notifications for them, what I do with WPMU DEV plugin pages and new threads is simply check each of the the forums separately to see if there are any new threads opened.
Best regards,
BojanHi Bojan, thanks for reply π
I think that in the theme support page there isn’t a ‘Subscribe/Unsubscribe from Emails for this theme’ like there is in plugin support page.
so for themes I’m going to do what you said, check it manually each time period π
Best
