hi

find this style in style.css

#wrapper {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
    margin-top: 20px;
    padding: 0 20px;
}

and replace with the below one

#wrapper {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF transparent;
    margin-top: 20px;
    padding: 0 20px;
}

Esmi – I’ve tried learning it and I can’t. It’s like Arabic, some get it, some don’t.

Varunms – that style isn’t in my style.css – I’ve used Ctrl+F and it isn’t there. There are three results for wrapper:

#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 940px;
}
#wrapper {
background:transparent;
background: #fff;
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 0 20px;
}
#wrapper {
clear: both !important;
display: block !important;
float: none !important;
position: relative !important;
}

hi

what is the theme name

Twenty Ten is the theme name.

Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme. Instead create a child theme for your changes.

do u have any style.css in twenty ten theme folder ??

Esmi – I cannot do this. I have already made too many changes.

varunsm – Yes, I do.

Esmi – How would I edit the CSS of this? Would it automatically recognise it in my WordPress Dashboard?

How would I edit the CSS of this?

Via Appearance -> Editor. You need to select the style.css file from your current theme.

Would it automatically recognise it in my WordPress Dashboard?

Yes.

OK, I have a child theme. Now how do I solve my problems?

You need to activate the new child theme first.

Yes, I’ve done that.

Now remove all of the CSS from the child’s stylesheet apart from the @import line. Your child theme should only consist of a style.css file at this point.

Wait, when I switch to the Child Them it goes back to the default settings… why?
