new to this, how do i change this text box color

thanks

It’s alright mate, we all start somewhere.

another question lol. When i go to edit the css file, it asks which encoding type to use a guy in india made this thing originally so he may have not used the english encoding its talking about? does it matter?

I’m not entirely sure as I’ve never seen that issue related to WordPress. I stick to the UTF 8 encoding format tho, if that helps at all.

im inside my website file manager with my site host providers editor. public html folder.

i cant edit the css inside the wordpress portion of it all right? cause this section and all these files i dont know what they are. lol a little scared in here

oh hey, i found under plugins and editor, a bunch of css plugins i can edit, can i add the code to one of those? and it will work correct? or will messing with those plugin files affect something else?

public html/wp-content/themes/[select your theme]/style.css
is the location, however I would probably advice you to add that code to a css plugin, unless you learn how to make a child theme, as the next time you upgrade your theme, it will overwrite your custom code.

I have used Simple Custom CSS plugin, I find it the best one, you can just add simple snippets of code in your admin that will always overwrite the current theme.

i can download this plugin, and it wont affect my website in any way right? i dont know anything about plugins.

it says its not tested with my version of wordpress, should i be worried? and can i just goto plugins and download from there? it says i have to upload files or something? cant wordpress handle it all?

Downloading that plugin will not effect your site in anyway, only the code you add to the editor will effect your site, in your case just that background on that modbox

Best way to add a plugin is by your admin, in your admin on the left menu click plugins, add new, type: Simple Custom CSS. click install and activate.

Then the css editor will appear in appearance>css editor. then just type that code.

If you have any problems, you can deactivate the plugin

ok i added

.mod-box {
background: transparent;
border: none;
}

but it still has the white border around the image

the picture with the large white border bottom middle is the one. trying to get rid of that border. did i do something wrong?

i added it to the CSS plugin talked about above.

No it looks like you added it in the right location. Try adding !important; after.

background: transparent !important;
border: none !important;

it worked! thanks so much you guys! amazing, so happy!
