Background color

  • I am new to WordPress, so I thought I would just start out with a blog and leave my website on my previous host. I tried to make the background color Navy, and I guess that worked. But I must be using the wrong term because I have an inner background (for want of a better word) that is red. I know I made it red, but not sure how I got there or how to change it to Navy. Here is my current site under construction:
    https://thecatho.w13.wh-2.com/wordpress/

    and here is what I want the top section to look like:

    Could anyone point me in the right direction?

  • That background color is set here:

    .site {
    background-color: #B91806;
    padding: 0 1.71429rem;
}

    But you really, really should not be making changes to the default theme – your changes will be lost when WP is updated and it’s also crucial that you have a clean copy of the theme for troubleshooting purposes.

    You really need to go back and create a child theme.

    Thanks for the advice—I had no idea what a child theme was much less how important it was. Will try to create one.

    As far as the color goes, I am not sure what you mean. I guess that is somewhere in the code, but I am reluctant to touch it since I know zip about coding. But I will try to figure it out.
