For the life of me I can’t figure out how to use the theme panel to change the background page color of posts/pages. Can anyone help? Tx.

Hi,
Unfortunately if you are referring to the white content background, that cannot be changed from the theme panel. There is no option for it. The contend background can only be changed through custom css.
Thank you!

I’m not a programmer. Could you tell me how to edit the custom css to change that background? Also, I would like to suggest adding this feature. Since there’s a “colors” section in the theme panel, that would seem an obvious addition.

Hi,

There are several sections you need to set a color to, there isn’t only one code for all. I will give it a shot:

.td-main-content-wrap{
background-color:grey!important;
}
.post{
background-color:grey!important;
}
.td-category-header{
background-color:grey!important;
}
.td-category-grid{
background-color:grey!important;
}

There still could be parts of the site that do not get affected by this code. The best thing to do is to use the browser inspector to find the specific part of the site and use the class which gets the white color:

Hope this helps.
Thank you!

Thank you. This seems quite complicated to accomplish what should be a fairly ordinary request. I will therefore wait and hope that you implement a background color for posts/pages option in the color section of your theme. Frankly I find this kind of color change much more important and necessary than, say, setting the background color of the site as a whole–or equally important.

But thank you anyway. I will try putting these into the css thing and see how it goes.
