    I made a post on this earlier today and now I can not find it on the forum.

    How can I change the color of the body background?

    FYI. I am trying to get the look of an older website I had done: http://www.tropicgreenery.com
    My current site is http://www.orlandogreener.com but the theme has some problems.
    Here is the progress on the new site: http://orlandogreener.com/newsite/
    I am having difficulty learning this theme and have little experience with wordpress altogether.

    Your help is appreciated.

    Hey Justin,

    Thanks for writing in. You can change the color of the body background underneath each Stack’s section in the Customizer. Since you are using Renew, it would be under the Renew section. I see your current site background is being added via a custom class or some type of plugin, you will want to make sure you’re not using this so that the option can take effect properly.

    Thanks!

    Yes. The colors are not responding. But I do not see have any plugin that should be affecting it.

    Hey Justin,

    Your <body> element has a class added to it called custom-background that is applying this CSS:

    body.custom-background {
  background-color: #000;
}

    This is what is applying the black color, and this class is not a class generated by the theme. Is this a “fresh” WordPress installation, or is it on a site you’ve had for a while? Do you have any plugins active other than the required/recommended plugins for X?

    Thanks.

    The installation is fresh, but the site is not per se: blue host tech support did some moving around of files so I could build this site and not have my other one inactive. But I believe all that was prior to uploading the x theme. Can I simply remove the custom background from the <body>? The thing is, I do want the background black, but I then want the area where content goes to be a tan.

    ok. I found and disabled the custom background, but I still cannot find anywhere to change the background color of the content area.

    Hey Justin,

    Glad to hear you got the other issue figured out. The following CSS will allow you to adjust the background color of your content area background:

    .site {
  background-color: #fafafa;
}

    Thanks!
