Change blog post background colour

Support
#1

Hi, I would like to change the background colour to the blog posts as a few readers have said they cannot read the white text on the green. Please could you let me know how to do this? Ideally no background colour at all and dark text.

Here is the site: https://sandsofsiwa.com/2018/05/08/your-perfect-ten-minute-skincare-routine/

Many thanks
Natalie

Hi Natalie,

Thanks for writing in!

To change the background color, you need to find this code in Theme Options > CSS

.format-standard .entry-wrap {
    color: #fffcdd !important;
    background-color: #b5ba34 !important;
}

Then change #b5ba34 with the color that you like.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Thanks very much - just want to check after going to ‘manage theme options’ where do I then to go to edit the code? I’ve looked under ‘Blog’ then CSS but can’t find the required code. Thank you.

Hi Natalie,

Please see screenshot

You can also check under Appearance > Customize > Custom> Edit Global CSS

If that doesn’t help, please provide wordpress admin login in Secure Note

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Thank you - I’ve clicked on CSS but there are only 49 lines and I cannot find the code you’ve mentioned. Sorry I’m not technical - what am I missing? Thank you!

Hello There,

The background colours must be coming from the theme settings. Please go to X > Theme Options > Icon and make sure to change the respective Post Format custom colors.

If there’s anything else, we can help you with, please let us know.
