• Hey,I’m trying to rid Kubrick default of the kubrickbg-ltr background image. I just want it gone altogether.

    When i play around in Firebug i see it is under #page and there are 2 entries for this but i only have 1 in WP editor and i have no idea where to find this and get rid of.

    After reading some posts related i am still lost on this. Just want to expand overall width to 960px.

    Any ideas or guidance? Thanks.

  • Hi

    Its only on line 14 of the stylesheet under #page. There are two #page entries but the one on line 14 has the background image. Remove the one line that starts with “background”.

    To make the width 960, adjust this on line 244

    #page {
    background-color:white;
    border:1px solid #959596;
    margin:20px auto;
    padding:0;
    width:760px;
    }

    change 760 to 960. There are a number of other settings that will have to change, but that is the main one. Once you do that, using Firebug you will see what else needs changing.

    Thanks for the reply, but that does not work. I don’t see that kubrickbg-ltr file under any #page div. That’s why it’s so confusing to me. I don’t know where it’s coming from. I do see a couple images attached to the header.php with -y repeat but they do not have that image file name.

    I was looking at the stylesheet from the default kubrick theme.

    Post your stylesheet in a pastebin at https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/

    I was too, but i just went to the header.php and saw kubrickbg(no -ltr which i take it stands for “left to right”?) and took out the letter “c”. It disappeared, and works bc it doesn’t see the correct file name. BUT now it’s all gray and I want the layout content white.

    In Firebug omitting that #page background code altogether gives me white. This prob has php stuff going on and i am not versed.

    I don’t know pastebin and will look into.

    The content i thought would be white bc #page has background color:#white. Weird.

    If you want the background to be white, remove completely the background line from this CSS on line 24 of stylesheet

    body {
    background:#D5D6D7 url(images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg) repeat scroll 0 0;
    color:#333333;
    font-family:'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif;
    font-size:62.5%;
    text-align:center;
    }

    Thanks again…just did if you want to take a looksie. BUT i wanted the 960px content on white as opposed to the whole thing, which that is doing. Still something strange going on here bc i can’t isolate the #page content color even tho it says it’s white in the stylesheet. I don’t want to drive you mad either. lol.

    Just to clarify, the bottom footer has the color i want as overall body background, and then white under the 960px content.

    line 24 stylesheet

    body {
    ADD THIS LINE ---> background-color:#E7E7E7;
    color:#333333;
    font-family:'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif;
    font-size:62.5%;
    text-align:center;
    }

    This line comes from your header.php file, line 12

    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
       #page { background: url("https://zigmanbird.com/Blog/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrikbg-ltr.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    </style>

    change the #page line to
    #page { background: #ffffff url("https://zigmanbird.com/Blog/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrikbg-ltr.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }

    Made the change, that’s the ticket, you’re awesome. I guess the same could be achieved if i just deleted that style in php file altogether and then white from the main stylesheet #page div would work alone. Just need to get my head round it a bit i guess to understand and don’t want to mess with php in header php in any way for now.

    Thanks again.
