    Hi,
    I am working on a site for a local Church using a child theme of Omega called custom. I have made quite a few changes to the base theme (different front page, layout etc.) but cannot find how to change the background colour for the comments box. I can change the background for the writing area, the text colour the post button colour but cannot change the brown background for the overall box any help pointing to where this is being called from (css style sheet php page) would be gratefully received
    An example page is at https://wwsbc.co.uk/?page_id=102

    regards

    Paul Saunders

  • Hello there!

    You’d want to use the following CSS for that:

    #respond {
    background: none;
}

    You will want to change the colour of text within the box as well, to ensure that there’s sufficient contrast between elements.

    Cheers!

    Hi Sarah I tried putting this into the style.css stylesheet for the child theme (custom) fro Omega (the main theme) but still get the same have I put your code in the right place?

    thanks

    I just took a look at the source code for your site and it looks as though the background color for the #respond section has actually been set using your theme’s custom CSS feature.

    I’d suggest that you avoid edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten whenever the theme is updated. Instead, work within the custom CSS panel (Appearance > Edit CSS) already available for your theme. This way, too, your CSS rules will take precedence over any other rules in the stylesheet. ??

    Thanks again.

    Also I will be taking your suggestion about where to add the custom CSS as I have already fallen fouls of the theme update resetting my changes and having to redo them so will transfer my custom CSS to the Appearance>Edit CSS

    happy and grateful

    Paul
