Header colour background

Resolved 1988byron

I’ve just updated the theme Newsup. I was warned it might alter my cusomised areas.
One I’d rather keep is the background colour to the header and main navigation menu.

How can I change this back to the light grey that I had before the update?
It seems pointless updating these themes if you can’t keep your cusomisation.
Is there a way to keep your customisation that I haven’t seen?

Many thanks themeansar. I’ve located my wordpress installation on the computer so I’ll get on to it.
The remove image has already worked thanks in restoring the Header background to what it was before the update.
One other question:
How do we enjoy the benefits of an updted theme once we’ve set up our child theme?
Thanks

Hi,

Yes, you can use even a child theme to the new update of Newsup theme, If you want to do some customization in the parent Newsup theme, then use child theme for this..

Glad to know it worked for you.We would really appreciate,

I’ve followed both links you gave me to create a child theme but whichever I follow with its different codes I get a message that it’s installed but the ‘stylessheet is missing’. Perhaps I’m entering the persoanal changes in the style.css file incorrectly.
