    Hi,

    I’m trying to change the posts background color from white/gray to black on the website https://web.humsamverkan.se. I’m newbie and haven’t used WP in a long time, can’t seem to find the editor in the GUI.

    So I tried following tips and tricks, by replacing the css-file from a recently added child theme via the ftp but nothing seems to be working. Could someone PLEASE help me out and explain what I should do in a very tech-support-talking-to-a-five-year-old-manner?

  • I don’t see the CSS from your child theme, did you activate it? If you have not already done so, read this CODEX article carefully:

    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme

    The usual errors when a child does not work are not getting the URL of the theme right in the child theme CSS header, Not loading the child theme CSS properly, and not activating the child theme (I have made all of these mistakes and a few more).

    Thanks mechx1!
    I forgot I removed it! I created a new child theme and activated it, following the steps from the link above.

    Now what? What do I do to change the posts background color?

    There are a lot of ways to approach this. In your child-theme CSS, try

    .site-main {
   background-color: #000000;
}

    and see how that works.

    This definitely made it better, I guess we’re halfway there.

    I was also wondering, is the editor completely gone nowadays? I find it hard to write css and/or php from scratch, I’m more of the modifying type of person. If I can get the posts background color to turn black, I still have to get in there and set a default for title color and body text color and so on :/

    I gave up, switched over to another theme. But thanks for the help!

    I’m having the same issue with this theme…I have figured out how to change EVERYTHING but this box…
