• Hello:
    Expressions is working out very well for me, full featured, and easy to use.

    Only two minor issues for me. My header is the recommended size. That leaves a lot of white space around it. Can I change the color of this space, or use a background image?

    Can I change the background color of the main part of the page/ sidebar area?
    I may be missing the obvious, but I do not seem able to make these color changes.

    Thank you for the very kind asssistance.

    Hello,

    If you want to add an image to your header you can try this to your Custom CSS:

    .full-header-image {
        background: url("Link to the image") no-repeat fixed 0 0 / 100% auto rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    }

    But if you want to change the background color of your header you can try thus to your Custom CSS:

    .full-header-image {
        background-color: #000;
    }

    And for the background color of the main part of the page/ sidebar area You can try this to your Custom CSS:

    #content-wrap {
        background-color: #544655;
    }

    You can change the colors of header and page/sidebar as per your requirement.

    Thank you.

    Hi Inventorgeorge

    Haven’t heard from you in a while….did you solve your problem?

    HI Kevin. Very sorry, I should have followed up. I sort of figured out how to add the background, but would still love to be able to control the color/image of the space around the header. I am using your recommended size for header, which leaves a lot of white space around it.
    You can see what I mean at chameleon-business-systems.com

    Best Regards,

    Try the following :

    header-wrap {
        background: transparent;
        /* background: #000000;*//*use this instead of the above line and add your hex color*/
    }

    AS usual, thank you for the wonderful support.
    Unfortunately, I am mostly HTML illiterate. Can you tell me where to put this? I am assuming this goes in the CSS file?

    I took a look under the hood and the reason the image is not to the full width of the theme is because you have changed the width of the theme. I hope you are using a child theme….but that is your call.

    If you have jetpack loaded you should be able to activate the
    Custom CSS module and add it there.
    There is a typo in the code above so I will give you the correct code below.

    #header-wrap {
        background: transparent;
        /* background: #000000;*//*use this instead of the above line and add your hex color*/
    }

    HI Kevin:
    Something strange happened. My header, which has been centered since I started, now is shifted all the way to the left. If I caused this, I have no idea how.
    Can you tell me how to get the header back centered?

    Thank you most kindly,
    George

    Kevin, this is even more strange. I made some small changes to my home page, and now the header is back where it should be.
    Can’t find what’s wrong if it isn’t wrong any more!

    George
