Hi,

I see a lot of info on changing the background color of the site in customizer, but I can’t find how to change the background color of my posts.

How do I change the background color of each post?

Sorry if this is obvious.

Thank you much,

Mike

Hey Mike,

Please add the code below in your Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS.

.red {
  background: red;
}

Then, add red as a Body CSS Class of your post in the Post Settings (see http://prntscr.com/6y88oj).

Change red as per your needs. Please see http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm or http://www.color-hex.com/ for more CSS colors.

Hope that helps. 🙂

Thank you very much for the help.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t achieve what I’m trying to do. My original question may have been poorly worded, sorry.

When I originally imported all of the demo content for the Renew theme, the blog had multiple posts in there. Each has a different background color. I’m trying to figure out how that was achieved and control those colors.

I guess I’m looking to change the background color of the content area, rather than the entire post background.

When I did what you suggested, the background was changed to red, but the entire content area is still green, and looks to be governed by this:

.format-standard .entry-wrap {
color: #D1F2EB !important;
background-color: #16A085 !important;
}

How do I control that background color, please?

Appreciate it!

Mike

Hi Mike,

You can use the post id.

You can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer.

eg.

.postid-15 .entry-wrap {
    background-color: red !important;
}

Where 15 is the post id.

Here is how to locate post ids.

Hope that helps.

That does – thank you very much for the help! All set now.
