I have still not found a solution to this issue, any help would be most welcome.

i check your website, and found
body{background:#fff}
its still white

Hi WPFirstTimer,
Here I tried this and it worked fine on your site. Just add this to your styles.css or custom.css file:

body {
  background-color: #F5F3B2;
}

Thank you so much, ive been trygint to figure this out for ages! would you be able to advise on how to change the background colour of the menu?

Regards!

Hi WPFirstimer,

Here you go! How about tan color?

.sf-menu li {
  background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #D2B48C;
 }

Thank you again, you’re awesome.. I’ll probably play with the colour scheme over next few days, But at least i know how to change it!

I don’t mean to take too much more of your time, would you be able to advise on how to change the background colour behind the content on other pages also? Sorry for being a pain!!

I’m very gratefull for your help so far.

Regards,
Jay

Hi Jay,
It seems that your other pages do not have a body container and the content goes full width across the page. If you type this into your custom.css it might solve the problem and the background color will appear:

body {
  max-height: 400px;
  max-width: 1000px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

Much appreciated.

Oh i see what you’re saying, not quite what i was after, but none the less pretty usefull!

Is there away to change the colour behind the text other pages. For example, where it’s white/grey behind text, can we change that colour as well or not?

Kind Regards,
Jay

Hi Jay,
Here’s some code to change the background of the text:

article.odd {
  background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #808080;
}

Wow, i dont think i could thank you enough!

Is it possible to change the only the top layer of the menu text to the same red as the logo?

Also can we make the box at the footer of the site smaller so the red only encompasses the copyright text? There was some sponsors of the the theme in that part, but i removed it and now it’s just a blank red box. If it’s to much trouble don’t worry about it!

Regards,
Jay

Hi Jay,

Here’s your two answers, one for the red text and one for the smaller size red box in the footer.

.sf-menu li a {
  color: red;
}

#bottom {
  padding: 0;
}

Chris, Thank you so much for all your help, you’re a legend!
