Adding a new post and background color changes! Help!

  • Hi guys!

    In need of some assistance from your pros out there. I hired a developer to help me do up my site(shoddy work I tell ya). And I’m stuck with a nagging problem….

    Everytime I add a new post(or page) the background color of that new page/post changes from the default white background to dark blue. I have multiple times went back to the developer, and he changes it for me everytime, but he will never share with me how he does it.

    Could sometime here point out to me where should I change this? Is it in the theme editor? I may need vivid instructions here on how to go working out this solution.

    Please refer to my site link:- https://www.wethinklife.com/uncategorized/life-insurance-in-singapore-back-to-basics/

    not clear why this would only happen for a new post or page, particularly because you seem to have only one post in your site, so any comparison is impossible.

    however, generally, try to add this to the custom CSS of your theme (or to custom.css):

    #footer { clear: both; }

    Thanks for response!

    It was all fine initially. And when all the pages(including the static ones) turned background blue, I consulted my developer, who has been an idiot after I paid him.

    To do this, do I have to go to Appearance->Editor, and add that line in Mike?

    yes, it seems that your theme is having a file ‘custom.css’ which you should be able to edit via ‘appearance – editor’

    Hi Mike, thank you for replying! I’m growing frustrated with this thing! lol.

    So I just add this:-

    #footer { clear: both; }

    in which area though?

    I mean, can I just add that line into any part of that css. file? or I have to specifically place it under a footer section?

    you could place the code anywhere.
    also, if you don’t have access to custom.css, you could add the code via a ‘custom CSS’ plugin (which you have to install first, https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css ) or (least preferrable) add the code at the end of style.css of your theme.

    That worked BEAUTIFULLY.

    For the benefit of those who’s gonna have this same problem as mine:-
    I experienced a Blue background color on all my pages; static, new pages, new posts, everything.

    What you need to do is download a plugin called “simple custom css”, activate that plugin and insert this line in the plugin:-
    #footer { clear: both; }

    Clear your cache(ctrl+F5) and you should be on your way.

    Credits go to to Michael. THanks again man!!!

    Cheers.
