I have exactly the same issue with the same versions?

@chupele1 Thank you. You didn’t make a mistake. In ONE!!! other thread I made a mistake and suggested to contact me on Skype and there watching me @esmi I wont ask for email or other forms of communication i promise i just want to help her.

Do u mean a border around the word blog?

I didn’t say contact me off the site. I said yes reply on this thread and “I” will get an email with your response.

@esmi Why did you remove my comment? I was helping her?

Thank you,
Conor

Hello strandcreative,

Yeah that is odd. I can’t see why it won’t load in. Have you changed any code in the header.php file?

But, I have a suggestion for you if you’re up for it? I create most of my site for my clients using an incredibly powerful and popular(free in the Repository) Responsive Theme. If you’re interested, I could do a quick Skype with you and show you what your site would look like if we used the Responsive theme instead of the current theme. If you’re feeling a bit lazy, My company would even be able to do the work for you …

YAY!!! ?? I’m glad that worked.

Yes we can change the background very quickly. In line 1335 in style.css here is the code that’s making the background to grey.

#commentform {
/* background: #f1f1f1; */
padding: 10px 20px 20px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 2px;
border-radius: 2px;
}

To change it to white just add this to your custom.css

#commentform {
background: #fff;
}

Now to the BLOG colour. I’m guessing you are using the WordPress built in menu (meaning you can change the items from the wp-admin).

When you use the WordPress menu it sets a unique ID for each item. for the blog item the ID is “menu-item-237” so if we add this to the custom.css like below:

#menu-item-237 {
background-color:#FFFF00;
}

Do change the colour to suit you, cause that colour makes it look terrible ?? You can choose a colour from here ?? https://www.colorpicker.com/

Please reply just to make sure it works ?? and if you have anything else please go ahead and ask ??

Cheers,
Conor

Hello,

Firstly you have just got another subscriber to your blog, cookery is a passion of mine too. I will be checking back for more of your recipes in the future ??

Lets first sort out your background. Just to be clear did you want to change the background of a specific page or all pages?

As for your sidebar. I know why you were finding this hard to work out, I was too. The theme hasn’t been coded right that’s why you were finding it hard. If you take a look in the style.css on line 287 (or below). They have made a background image to do the background colour. Which is totally wrong.

.col-2cl .main-inner {
background: url(img/sidebar/s-right-s1.png) repeat-y right 0;
padding-right: 340px;
}

The easiest way around this would be to copy that image and edit that copy with your preferred colour. Or if you want it white just add this:

.col-2cl .main-inner {
background: none;
}

Into your custom.css

Cheers,
Conor
