# Custom CSS | Template Path Syntax

 * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-css-template-path-syntax/)
 * I need some syntax help with the Thesis Custom.CSS function.
 * The temp site is here: [Trinity CC](http://trinitylutherancc.org/site/)
 * I successfully added a background image to the pages’ content_box ID with this
   CSS:
 *     ```
       .custom #content_box {
       	background: url('http://trinitylutherancc.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/content_bkgrnd_liteNS.png') 0 0 no-repeat;
       	background-attachment: scroll;
       	padding: 0 0 0 20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * When I specify the No Sidebars template (that comes with the Thesis Theme) for
   the Home Page I lose the background image.
 * Can you please advise what my problem is with this bit of CSS?
 *     ```
       .custom.page-template-no_sidebars-php #content_box {
       	background: url('http://trinitylutherancc.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/content_bkgrnd2.png') 0 0 no-repeat;
       	background-attachment: scroll;
       	padding: 0 0 0 20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * This theme has a PHP file called no_sidebars.php which I assume is the template
   I need to reference with my CSS.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * In the layout.css, the class
 *     ```
       .no_sidebars {
       background: none !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * is overriding your background.
 * you could try to add the background image to
 * `.custom .page`
    instead, that might work better

 * Thank you Christine for the prompt reply.
 * I commented this line of code out, as I anticipate the home page being the only
   one to use this template.
 * Warmest regards,
