    Scott,

    Loving this theme! I made a child theme and am trying to modify the sidebar with no success. I even tried the CSS code from two resolved support issues (“transparent side bar” and “remove sidebar border”) and neither seem to do anything. I considered that my child theme might be broken and entered the ‘remove sidebar border’ in the theme’s Optional CSS and nothing happened.

    could this be an issue with 3.8.1?

  • The latest version is 2.9. I’m assuming you meant 2.8.1 and that version is old enough for me to not remember what bugs it contained. I’m not sure what you are trying to accomplish or what you are trying to do to accomplish it.

    @scott Smith
    I think the OP meant WP 3.8.1 not Decode not playing nice together.

    Gotcha. I still don’t know what issue he’s having. Sounds like he isn’t copy/pasting correctly.

    sorry for the confusion – 3.8.1 refers to the WordPress version.

    Here is my child theme:

    /*
    Theme Name: decode_child
    Template: decode
    Author: Child Theme Configurator by Lilaea Media
    Version: 1.0
    Updated: 2014-01-25 03:15:53
    */
    
    @charset "UTF-8";
    @import url('../decode/style.css');
    
    .site-main
    {
    background-image:url(/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/semi_transparent_bg.png);
    }     
    
    .sidebar
     {
     background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
     }
    
    .sidebar.constant.left {
    border-right: none;
    }

    The ‘site-main’ works fine, but the references to “sidebar” seem to do nothing.

    Any ideas?

    That looks fine to me. I just tested it myself and it worked. Do you have a link to your site?

    do u need access?

    Oh it’s being overwritten by the Custom Colors, raise the specificity by doing this:

    body .sidebar
     {
     background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
     }

    ok..just tried that but no change. i tried with the trailing space after ‘body’, and without. currently without, if you want to look at the site again. πŸ™‚

    It works for me, I just had to wait for the video to begin before noticing it. It may be cached too, try it on your phone or another browser.
