Hello,

How do you change the background color of a post in NEWSMAG / VIDEO template. It seems to be locked in at white for some reason.

Hi,
The theme background color can be changed from theme panel -> https://i.imgur.com/kcRsMrB.png
Normal the layout on that demo should be like this https://i.imgur.com/C7bUBKs.png is possible that one of your plugins to interfere with the theme settings.
If you checked only the plugin conflict and the problem persists, please provide a link to your website.
Thank you for your understanding!

Thank you for the quick response. Unfortuantely, that does not work. I do not currently have any other plugins installed except the two required by the theme. Here is a link to the under construction website. I have temporarily made it accessible.

Just to quickly follow up, on the individual posts, I want all the white within the blocks to be a different color, such as a black. Thank you!

Hi,
It looks that you have set some colors in theme panel https://i.imgur.com/FgFr24S.png most for them are from here https://i.imgur.com/CcYM7uF.png if there are other elements.
Also to change the background color you need to use a custom css https://i.imgur.com/q17Njil.png
body .td-container {
background-color: black;
}

This code need to be set in theme panel> custom code> custom css.
Hope it will help you!

Thank you. Almost there. What is the code to have different colors within the container for the footer and sub-footer? The .td-container codes turns them all black.

thanks for your help! Appreciated.

Hi,
Normal for footer and sub footer background color you can use the options from theme panel https://i.imgur.com/LODKp5g.png

Hi Colin,

Thank you for the reply. In theory, yes; however, the code overwrites that function and turns everything one color regardless of the panel settings. Thanks!

Hi,
If the options from theme panel are not apply, that is because the demo that you use has an extra class on body -> https://i.imgur.com/Ov9dMcG.png that makes the default css stronger then the one from theme panel.
There are only two things that you can do:
1 remove the extra class from body to can use the theme panel settings.
2 use a stronger css to overwrite the one that is apply on the body class.
Thank you!

Well, thank you for trying. Too bad I can’t do something so basic as change a background color as the theme implies I should be able to do. I guess I’ll hire a developer who will probably just want to scrap the theme altogether.

Thank you.

One more note, can you please either remove the links I posted in the above thread or delete the thread altogether as I’d rather not have those links posted in the forum, especially since the issue could not be resolved.

Thank you.

Hi, I can not delete the topic, but I removed the links.
Also If you want to change the background colors is no need to hire a developer, I can help with this, for example use this css -> https://i.imgur.com/1qIkBJd.jpg
body {
background-color: #b51717;
}

Add it in theme panel> custom code> custom css or remove that class from body then it will apply the colors from theme panel.
Hope this will help!
Thank you!
