Background

If you have the following in your child theme then try removing it:

body {
background-color: rgb(216, 2, 2) !important;
background-image: none;
}

In my editor I have this:

/*SEE styles.css IN THE PARENT THEME
You can over-ride those styles in this child theme.

Learn About Child Themes here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

*/

@import url(“../symbiostock/style.css”);

/*YOUR CSS BELOW*/

body{
background-image: url(”);

}

.container{
width: 100%;
}

But I don’t know why background image because I don’t use an image, it was setted just like color….Strange…Maybe I have to remove this?

If I load your food site and use chrome’s inspector to change the body background color to white, it works just fine, so add

background-color: white; to the body definition and you should be all set. #ffffff will work as well if you prefer that to using a name

I have added it in Editor:

/*YOUR CSS BELOW*/

body{
background-color: #ffffff;

}

.container{
width: 100%;
}

Doesn’t work… 🙁 My background remains red.

Then you’ll have to poke around a bit in the browser’s debug mode to see why that isn’t working. You might try adding !important to the end of the color line (it can sometimes be that other declarations take precedence over yours) first, so see if that’s the issue.

Thank you JoAnn, I will try to see but I’m not convinced I will discover,,,, I have added !important to the color line but nothing. You know, I think that nothing I write in the editor from admin side is working. Is like I had no rights for writting….

You could try editing the css file directly (in a text editor) if you think the problem is not the CSS but the editor not handling it.

from your home directory wp-content/themes/symbiostock-dragonfly (for me it could be symbiostock-child for you) and you should find style.css there

Thank you, I will give a try in ten minutes after I finish to send my images to Shutterstock.

Are you using the home page generator? I think that may be the case and possibly is why you can’t do what you want to via child theme editing – I have only done a little dabbling with that on my test site to help out someone who was trying to make that work.

Take a look at what my browser shows me for your page (and note that somewhere you’ve put in the color white as ffffff as opposed to #ffffff) – click to get the full size version

Your edits are there but are being overridden.

If you are using the home page generator, go to Appearance Customize and select the color you want in the Symbiostock General panel on the left.

Thanks JoAnn, is very, very strange…I don’t use Home Page Generated and I checked again everything, I really don’t undertand.
