• I am trying to remove the pale grey background (with a fold over page tab at top right) for the content area of my site and my shop. I have tried background-color: etc to no avail in CustomCSS.

    I am also trying to change the search box to white, currently a dark grey

    Any help with those two issues would be really useful and much appreciated.

  • From the changes you’ve made it looks like you might have been better using the default Storefront style, or our Galleria child theme, seeing as you want everything to be white ??

    However, to change the background color of the main content area try:

    .content-area {
    background: red;
    }

    For the header search, try:

    .site-search .widget_product_search input[type=search] {
    background: white;
    }

    I recommend that you make these changes using our Theme Customisations plugin.

    Thanks James, You are a star ! I have set the colours as suggested (not red though!) but if you look at my site there is a 5mm grey area to the left and right of the header panel and all down the right hand side – what do I need to do to set that to white ?? Also the folded corner of the page is still visible in the shop area – I guess that is another bit that need setting to white ;-))

    I will look into that Galleria – it is my daughter who started all this off, so I was guided by her at the start ??

    I have been using your plugin – but have you seen my last post in that thread about strange font ?? Before I start again with it, please advise if it is compatible with the latest WP etc.

    I would be happy to pay for a bit more customisation if that was possible ?
    Cheers

    Hey Colin,

    To remove the border around the whole site try this;

    body:before, body:after, html:before, html:after {
    display: none;
    }

    The plugin is compatible with the latest WP versions, I’ll look into that font issue separately.

    Regards

    HI James

    THANKS – that just leaves the annoying triangle at the right :-))

    The font in the drop down is almost site wide, so an odd one must have been missed at design stage – look forward to the update

    Take care
    Colin

    Ah, for the triangle try:

    .content-area:after, .content-area:before {
    display: none;
    }

    ??

    Nope, none of those work on the triangle !

    Please clarify whether there should ALWAYS be a full stop before a snippet – or not.

    When we have the checkout up and running and the whole site tested and complete we will probably go to Galleria – but at the moment I am loathe to spend more on this site until we know it works for us.

    It is great to be able to get feedback and snippets like this to help though – wish my fully paid up current web guy was as co-operative ??
    Cheers

    Hey,

    Are you sure you added the snippet and uploaded it? I can’t see the code there on your site.

    There shouldn’t _always_ be a full stop, but in the case of my previous snippet there should be.

    I think the code just hasn’t been uploaded.

    Cheers

    THANK YOU James !

    Perfect – maybe you could answer my other post about moving the price ticket – which you kindly gave me the code for some time ago, but when your theme customisation plugin crashed, I lost it and now I don’t know exactly where to put it again.

    If I put it in the CustomCSS it doesn’t seem to work

    Looking more and more like Galleria is the way to go, but lets just get this up and running – I have to integrate the Checkout with our payment Gateway next :-))

    Thanks for your help
    Colin

    Hey Colin,

    Hmm, could you provide a link to that topic please? I can’t seem to find it.
