Thanks alchymyth!
I was spelling ‘important’ wrong. Silly me.
And, that other thread has the solution that I was looking for originally.
Thanks again!

Actually, SeacoatWebDesign, your solution is not working! It only works when pasted in Firebug, and does not work when uploaded into the child theme!

Do you have any other ideas on how to fix my this problem?

Thanks for your quick response!

Adding the ‘!important’ in background section of the child theme did work to change the background color, overriding this “inline styling” or whatever it is that was added to my website.

Do you know where this inline styling, that I talked about in my first post, is coming from and how I would be able to get rid of it? I did not have it until I edited the background in the dashboard feature.

I don’t want to start having to add ‘!important’ to all of the code in my child theme.
Thanks.
