 * On my website I have different sections which I would like to group together 
   visually. Is it possible to have all sub pages and post in say my allotment section
   to have a green backgound or a different background to the title. I can do this
   with css but have to add each page seperately. Is there a way to do this with
   categories?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdiffernet-sections-in-website%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You can alter background color of any HTML element by targeting its attributes
   with custom CSS. The ability to do so with categories depends on whether your
   theme outputs category class values for appropriate elements. If your theme doesn’t
   already do so, you could make it so since you’ve created a custom child theme.
   It’d be a matter of altering the appropriate template files.
 * Your theme appears to already distinguishes child pages from parent pages with
   the body class `page-parent`, so you could target such pages with something like:
   `.
   page-parent { background-color: lightgreen; }`
 * Of course, child elements might still maintain their own colors, but those could
   similarly be targeted. For example:
    `.page-parent #wrapper { background-color:
   lightgreen; }`
 * Since you’re able to alter theme templates, you can pretty much do whatever you
   want with layout and colors.

 * Thank you that makes sense although I’m nowhere near competent enough to make
   catagories in my theme. Thank you for the answer though. I’ll ask on the Kadence
   forum about catagories.
