    This maybe a dumb question, but I haven’t been able to figure it out myself..

    How do I change the backgroumd color of the sidebar??
    I want it to be white instead of the standard grey..

    What theme? I’m guessing Kubrick? (The standard wordpress theme.) If that’s the case, that whole background is an image. Log in, then go to Presentations > Theme Editor. Click on “Header.php” and look for the following code:


    body { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg"); }
    <?php /* Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not */ if ((! $withcomments) && (! is_single())) { ?>

    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbg.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>

    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } ?>

    #header { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickheader.jpg") no-repeat bottom center; }

    #footer { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickfooter.jpg") no-repeat bottom; border: none;}

    What you’re looking for is this line:


    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbg.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>

    Comment out that reference and you should be set to go.

    Note that the other images intertwine rather nicely with it so if you make a change to that — say, by commenting out that line — it may look odd on the page.

    Any more questions I’ll be glad to help with, insofar as I can. (I did the same thing on my site, eliminating the gray bar.)

    I tried commenting out the line, and it worked.. sort of..
    The sidebar went white, but it kinda f’d up my design..

    But I just edited the image to white in the middle and it works like a charm ??

    Thanks a bunch
