I’m trying to add custom CSS to my website, with a static background and coloured text box under the text (as in this example, https://www.loreseekerspodcast.com/lore-lesson-55-the-chronology-of-eso/).

Can I apply that kind of text boxes with CSS?

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Yes, you can style form input elements with CSS, probably the easiest way is to use a CSS selector, details here:

Oh, I don’t mean text boxes in the sense of forms to fill in, but a block of solid colour underneath text. I want a graphic for the main website background, but a solid colour underneath text elements.

I’ve found a solution for what I want here: http://scratch99.com/wordpress/hacks/wordpress-simple-css-text-boxes-in-posts/

The CSS for this works. However, with the Gutenburg editor I would have to apply this block by block, and they may have breaks. I want to have a single piece of CSS that applies throughout the document that says “if there’s text, there needs to be solid black colour behind the text”.

How do I apply something this in the theme editor?
