Having Problems Changing Background

    I’m having a small amount of trouble with my WordPress site (https://thepilgrimsprotest.net/), specifically when it comes to changing the background. The theme I’m using is ‘German Newspaper’, which has several quirky things happening with it.

    Anyway, I’m a novice at CSS, but I think I have down what is needed:

    body
    {
    min-width: 40em;
    line-height: 1;
    color: #333;
    text-align: justify;
    font-family: “Lucida Bright”,Verdana,Georgia,Inherit,”Times New Roman”,Arial,Sans-Serif,serif;
    background: #007eef url(‘images/bluebg.gif’);
    background-repeat:repeat-x;
    font-size: 100.01%;
    outline: 0;
    vertical-align: baseline;
    }

    Sadly, rather than showing the image, or even the selected color, it still has the gray background in place. I can only assume that I need to remove a piece of code somewhere, but as I sais, I’m anovice what it comes to CSS. Is this just a ‘stupid’ problem, or is it a theme fail?

  • Find the CSS for .body_color {

    and delete the background element, it is set to silver.

    do you have an option menu or anything?

    Anyway, when I look at your source code I see that the body is being assigned a class of: body_colour

    and you have many css files buried in your theme. in css/body.css you have:

    .body_color
{
    color:      #333;
    background: silver;
}

.wrapper_color
{
  background:   white;
}

    looks like that may be your culprit
