customizing color and padding of image background in post content area

  • Trying to figure out how to customize that background area behind the image in the content area. The Default padding is too wide, I need to get the text slightly closer to that background edge, and also how do I change the color if necessary of that background rectangle?

    Thank you very much in advance: I just need to know which (where is the) code item to change.

  • You will probably need to start customising your theme’s CSS – possibly via a child theme. Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS work.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. With all due respect I am aware of the CSS stylesheet, I’ve already been using it…and the Child Theme…and Firebug although I’ve only worked with Firebug a little…but what I’m asking is…

    “Where” is the code located that would allow me change the padding between the image (in the content area) and the posted text?

    Thank you

    In a child theme, unless you are already over-writing the parent’s CSS, the relevant style will be in the parent’s stylesheet. You now need to over-write that CSS in the child’s stylesheet. Sorry to be so vague but it’s difficult to be specific without seeing the site in question.
