Hi,
I advise that you carefully read this documentation on how to add/modify CSS styles to WordPress theme.
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes
Thank you Julian for your prompt reply,although as I have mentioned I am not css literate and I am not ashamed to bring it up.
I do need yours or anybody else’s assistance with css know how to send me the exact text/codes (as many members have done in other posts).
I have tried to read the Child themes documentation as you have suggested and it looks like “hieroglyphics” to me at least for now.
I am planning to follow a course and try to get the necessary knowledge in due course.
Thanh you anyhow

…send me the exact text/codes…
That would not be much different than asking a paid Developer to work for free.

Now would be a great time to get started, then post a question or two when your efforts might need a little tweaking as you go along.
Thank you for nothing
Looks like you are advise like this is cheap, and all other members that effortlessly assisted (pls check tickets: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/remove-you-may-use-these-html-tags-and-attributes-1) or (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/changing-textarea-color-of-comments?replies=5) without asking any charge or payment are entirely different from you. I am not asking you to built my site (never will if I have to encounter your attitude).
Take care
Anyone is free and welcomed to help you just as much as he or she might wish, but my past two years at these forums have shown/taught me it is very seldom that anyone here is going to write complete sections of code for you, for me or for any else.
Once more thank you, but I got/found the help from old tickets and I solved my problem.
By the way as I am from Greece and I know our ancient history I will send you a msg to your webpage a little lesson free of charge.
I expect you to apply the appropriate corrections.

Glad to hear that! I thank you.

I will certainly consider your message and attempt to comply.

Exactly what are you talking about here? Is that some kind of a threat?
Threat? Absolutely not!!
just trying to show that some members offer free assistance as I will when I will be able to. As to the ancient history lesson that I am referring to, according to my opinion is the wrong etymology of the word doula” mentioned in Mrs. Leejosepho web page
…the wrong etymology of the word “doula”…
I am not responsible for the content of that particular site, so your message would not have come to me.
I am glad you found a solution. Can you please mark this topic as resolved.
Just for future reference. If you can write your tutorial with precise instructions (meaning I don’t have to do a lot of thinking or planning) than generally I would be glad to write CSS code for the purpose of this forum, generally most people will do this for you just to provide community assistance, most people only ask that you try to phrase your question in a way that 1. Is easy for me to go ‘ok just do this’ this might mean you hav to break up what your trying to do into smaller tasks, and then secondly if your question benefits the community and is not just very specific to you, I would be glad to write that code so it helps lots of people. The trick here is to phrase your question properly and to not ask too much in one go. Take it slow and step by step. You could start by starting a new forum topic called ‘how do I chane the background color of contact form 7’
Most people love helping for free, so long as it’s not too much of a task. Hope that helps you get this project of yours complete 🙂
Good luck and please post here as often as you like!
Dear Leejosepho good morning,
How are you today?
I think that we have we got off on the wrong foot and I would like to apologize if I have offended you in any way, but as you might be aware of my country’s current situation and the living conditions that we have to put up with you’d understand the reason why I have taken the liberty to ask for a freebee.
It is not to my nature to disrespect the work of my associates and people in general, I am 60 years old and I am trying to learn how to set up a web page that I might make some extra cash in the future.
As I have mentioned Ι am not css literate and I am not ashamed to bring it up.
Now regarding my request to change the comments background color, text etc
I can assure you that I have tried really hard but if I do not take a course (which will cost me and I cannot pay it at the present time) I will not be able to deliver in time.
Before I opened this ticket I have researched in previous posts and from the results and the assistance that other members with my level of know how received, I assumed that it is standard practice to ask and receive.
Any way I have fixed the background color in the contact form 7 cannot change the grey letters when someone types (fixed the final typing to navy blue)
But regarding the comments textarea background and fonts color i.e. http://jewelsinspired.me/nekydallon/ I am still trying. I am sure that I will find the solution hopefully in time and within my deadline.
Regarding the “doula” comment it was linked to your profile therefore I assumed that it was your web page, although my approach was inappropriate.
Take care and have a great day,
Gerasimos

Just know that deadlines are irrelevant here.
Seriously consider learning using a browser developer tool like the one that’s built in to Chrome. It took me 3 clicks to find the CSS you need to use, which took less than 20 seconds and that’s nothing to do with how much CSS I know.
http://snag.gy/3HhSe.jpg
Open the page in Chrome;
- Right click on the comment field
- Left click on “Inspect element”
- On the right-hand side of the dev toolbar is the CSS. Scroll down slightly. There you see the CSS with the background colour
So override that?
.style-ios textarea {
background-color: red;
}
All this and I’m pretty sure you’re not even using a theme we support.
No problem, Gerasimos, all is well, and neither were any of my own wordings written to be offensive.
In light of what Julian Fox (greataussiepie) has posted, maybe this will help draw attention to what you still need:

I would really appreciate if you could send me the css code that I have to add to my theme’s editor (style.css) or elsewhere so I can change the text area background color comments and contact form 7 all fields (name, e-mail, website & comments) from the white that currently is to pale blue (#A0D4F9) and the letters as I type to larger & navy blue or (#336486) and not grey.

That’s just confusing, can you write what you want clearer? In bullet points for example?
