How to change background color

  • i setup my wordpress domain https://www.vocalquick.com

    I am trying to remove the background blue color and change it to a reddish color.

    i realized that the background is not a css color identifier but a file so i went and located the background image file and downloaded it. I then edited the background to te color of my choice. I reupload it and see the same exact color

    What do i tweak in the code to make wordpress restructure the background?

    Thanks

  • Hello,
    I don’t know if your theme is supported in this forum, however, looking at your site, i found that,(if you’re talking about the general/body background), it’s set in css so i think you should try to edit “body.custom-background” (when i live-edit it and put “display: none;” a reddish background shows up…)
    Let us know what happens!

    Thanks for the fast reply…
    I went into the css file and cannot find the background keyword that you specified. I already changed the color code found here:

    /******************************************************************
    GENERAL LAYOUT STYLES
    ******************************************************************/

    body {
    background:#df4747;
    font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    }

    #container, .wrap {
    width: 100%;
    margin: 30px auto;
    padding: 0;
    max-width: 1060px; /* remove or edit to adjust width */
    background:#df4747;
    background-image:url(library/images/bg-page.jpg);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-position:center top;
    }

    Looks like that background is set under theme options.

    There are two backgrounds i guess that we can speak of.

    the first background is the ‘outer layer’
    the second one is the one that i am concerned about. its the background beneath the posts and everything else.

    ok,i thought it was the other one…
    the one you try to change is the “inner background” and is an image called “bg-page.jpg”; so i guess you changed it in a subfolder called “library” with the size 1008×900?

    Make sure that you are not modifying any theme files – as those changes will be lost when the theme is updated – instead you should be making changes in a Child Theme or custom CSS option/plugin.

    nahuelmahe,

    Yes that is the file. I changed the color and made same size and re-uploaded it, but the background is still the same color.
