greenfly 230 Report post Posted July 7, 2012 hi everyone. sorry to bother you with suck a dull question but... im trying to change the background of the comments on the blog posts and have used firebug etc to ascertain some custom CSS as follows '#social { background-color: #3C9CD3;}' it doesn't work. i have tried other selectors other than #social but have lost count of what i have tried. Can anyone help? thanks in advance The answer to many issues can be found by searching in the forum before posting as someone else may very well have had the same problem before you have.

greenfly 230 Report post Posted July 7, 2012 Great stuff, thank you Batman - that worked brilliantly. there are a few more bits of the comments box thing that are still white. for example, the '[i]or[/i]' in the header divider has a white background. i would therefor expect to put the following code into custom css [code]#social #social-divider {background-color: #3C9CD3;}[/code] or [code]#social .social-divider {background-color: #3C9CD3;}[/code] do you know what am i doing wrong? am i missing the point entirely? thanks for the swift answer.
