Background color inside the box in boxed-layout – how to change

    A developer transferred the site to our host’s server and it’s pretty much what we wanted. The dashboard at wp-admin offers most of the tools we need to tweak things. But we have failed to find where the menu option is to adjust the background color INSIDE the boxed area in Ultra theme’s boxed layout.
    All of the guidance we have found online directs us to menu items (like “theme panel”) at the left in the dashboard that we don’t see in our version. Are we missing something, or is it possible that the developer has limited our permissions (roles and capabilities) to change some features? We are total novices at WP, so some guidance would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi @cftp

    Thanks for reaching out.

    If you’re using Ultra Premium, try going to Appearance > Customize > Theme Design > Content > Page Background Color.

    Let me know how that goes.

    Andrew,

    It appears that it is not “Premium.” We are having the developer, who installed the WP site for us, add back all possible editing/customizing tools to the dashboard. She had eliminated many tools to reduce complexity for us. Don’t know if the newly visible tools will be enough to tweak the color issue, but if not, we can graduate to editing a css file (if we can find the right file and the right lines in the file to edit).

    Thanks,

    All WordPress themes completely overwrite their own folder during theme updates so remember to not edit any files via Appearance > Editor.

    If you install a plugin called Simple Custom CSS, you can go to Appearance > Custom CSS and add the following to change the main page background color:

    /* Page Background Color */

.site-content {
  background-color: #fff;
}

    Edit as required. Hope that helps.
