  • Hi, this is possible using CSS rules linked to categories.

    If you look at the source code of a category page you will see a special CSS class assigned to the body (eg. post-in-category-xxxxx).

    You just need to create a class touching the background element for this body class (eg. .post-in-category-xxxxx {background-color:#000;}).

    Thanks for the reply,

    But my problem is that I’m not very familiar with css or coding. Can you help me?
    Right now I have for categories. Business, food, entertainment and inspiration.
    What codes should I put in the custom css that I’m seeing when I customize it.
    Here are the color combination
    Business- blue
    Food- Green
    Entertainment- purple
    Inspiration- Yellow

    Any help is appreciated, thank you very much ??

    Without url towards the site difficult to help you, if we remain the correspondences of category of WordPress:
    Business -> business
    This gives the following rule:
    body.post-in-category-business {background-color: blue;}
    Here the color is generic, you can change the word by a hexadecimal value that you will find on a site like coolors.co.
    You can add custom CSS rules in:
    Appearance -> Customizer -> Additional CSS

    Hello,

    Kindly try to add the below code to the Appearance > Customize > Custom CSS section to change it –

    body.category-bicycle {
       background-color: #000;
    }

    Replace the ‘bicycle’ in the code with your actual category slug for each category if you want to have different colors for different categories.

    Thanks!
    I tried it, but nothing changed. I also tried with the post-in-category code it also didn’t work.
    It’s in the post slider btw, the background color I’m talking about. How can I change it if it’s there?
