Changing a page background color.

Recommended Posts

Hi, Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you, but do you mean a specific page or the background color of the overall site? Thanks.

Since you linked your home page, I assume that's the one you want to change the color of. You can use the following custom CSS: [code]body.home { background: #000000; }[/code] Just change the color to whatever you want. Be sure to include the # at the beginning. I also recommend downloading FireBug at www.getfirebug.com. You will be able to change CSS code visually and then apply those changes to your site by adding code to your custom CSS.

That worked on getting the surrounding background area of the home page. I was not articulating correctly of what I'm trying to change. Here is a picture of the area (in the cirlce) of which I wanted the background to change from white to gray. http://www.nogginjog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Nwebsite.jpg I'm not sure if it's a page background issue, or something else...

You should really try Firebug as I suggested above. With Firebug, you can just right click and "inspect element" on that section that you circled and see what it is. For that section, use: [code]#maincontent { background: #000000; }[/code]

I'm also having the same problem (sorry, I haven't learned how to use Firebug yet!), I can't figure out how to get the area behind my feature slider and boxes on my home page to change colors while leaving all of the interior pages with a white background. louisvillearealuxuryhomes.com
