Sidebar background

    Hi there,

    My query is around how to change the grey background to the sidebars in this theme. Ideally I would like them to have a white background to match the main content area.

    I appreciate there have been a number of threads covering this topic previously and I have followed each thread and attempted to make the changes suggested, with no success.

    For example, I followed the instructions here…
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/grey-background-on-sidebars-and-behind-images-with-captions
    …including trying to change the sidebar img files from grey to white…again, to no avail.

    I must be missing something or doing something wrong, would anyone be able to help/offer suggestions? Has anyone actually managed to change the sidebar backgrounds? From what I can tell most of the posters raising this problem continue to have grey sidebar backgrounds on their sites (or have changed theme), even when the topics have been marked resolved!

    If it simply isn’t possible to change the background colour of the sidebars, would it even just be possible to ensure the background to the main content area remains white? In responsive mode (particularly on tablets) the grey background on sidebars, when opened and closed, will then cause the entire page background to turn grey. V frustrating!

    Any help you can offer would be fantastic. Look forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks.

  • Hi hubber47. You could try this in your child theme or custom css. I chose red just to make it easy to see if it’s working:

    /* set content and sidebar background to red */
.main-inner, .s1, .s1 .widget, .s2, .s2 .widget, .content {
  background: #f00 !important;
}

    Ha, when I read your reply and how simple/basic it was compared to some of the other solutions suggested and attempted, I was v sceptical.
    What do you know – it only works, perfectly!
    Superb bdbrown, the support you provide in this forum is fantastic.
    Many thanks.
