How do I change the background colour of text boxes?

    Hello. I’ve been trying to change the background colour of some text boxes that WooCommerce makes green by default. (I’m not even sure what to call these parts!) I’ve manage to change the colour of the buttons with CSS but really can’t work out how to change the remaining green. Ideally I’d like it changed to transparent/white.

    My website isn’t public yet so I’ve uploaded screenshots of the pages in question here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/46844617@N08/

    And below is my status report if it helps. Any help would be much appreciated so I can finally get rid of that horrible green!

    Hi there,

    The green areas in your screenshots look like table elements and div’s. It’s definitely possible to change those with custom CSS but the exact CSS varies from one theme to the next. Practically speaking, this means we’d need to access that site to craft the CSS for that site specifically. Are you able to make that page publicly accessible at all?

    Hi,

    Thanks for your thoughts. I’ve just made the site temporarily public. (I’ll password protect it once I’ve got this issue solved though!). If it helps to know, the theme I’m using is Karuna.

    Hi,

    Can I ask what the table elements and div’s are referred to as in the CSS? I thought I’d found the right parts in the Theme Editor (by searching for the hex code of that green colour) but when I copied and pasted those bits of code as additional custom CSS but a different colour in place of the green, the colour didn’t change. Is it something to do with that CSS not able to ‘override’ almost identical code in the original theme code?

    Most likely, yes.
    What CSS do you use?

    Hi there,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.

    Kind regards,
