Changing backgroud color of a specific column

Hi barbellfocus,

please add this to custom CSS and change the color as you like:

.single article { background: #f9f9f9; }

If you want to give the whole column a background color, please add this to custom CSS:

.single .col-2-3 { background: #f9f9f9; }

Regards
Michael

Hmm…I tried both and nothing is changing on the website.

Just to clarify, by “content” I meant like the actual page of the article.

Hi barbellfocus,

you don’t see a difference because your background is already gray…

Change the color and you’ll see a difference.

I changed the color code to all sorts of things, but the background is not changing. Any ideas?

This is tested and will work for sure.

I checked your source code and I even don’t see the CSS I have provided. Are you really sure you have properly added it to custom CSS???

I took it out because I didn’t see a change. I put it back into the custom CSS.

Mate, you have added ##0040ff as color, it has to be #0040ff …. ??

That’s really weird…okay so I deleted the extra #, but still no change. I could have sworn there weren’t 2 #’s when I put it in…

I will have a look…. ??

Or try:

.post { background: #0040ff; }

Maybe there is some CSS on your site which conflicts with the other modification. On our testsite it worked fine.

sigh….how would I go about finding out what’s conflicting with it?
What’s your recommendation to make this work?

.post { background: #0040ff; } didn’t work either.

Does this work:

body {
 border: 10px solid red !important;
}

?
If not then you have a syntax error in your CSS somewhere

It is because of:

body { color: rgb(80, 73, 69; }

in custom CSS, remove that and it will work.

Or change to:

body { color: rgb(80, 73, 69); }
