 * First of all:
 * The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a [child theme](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/),
   so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme.
 * Second:
 *     ```
       .jssort03 div {
           background-color: white !important;
       }
       ```

   <<
 * A child theme is not necessary for CSS.
 * **To add CSS:**
    - If you are using WordPress 4.7, use the “Additional CSS” option in the customizer.
    - If your theme has a custom CSS option, use that to add the CSS shown above.
    - If not, install the plugin [Simple Custom CSS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/).
