Change the background colour in a blog...

[hunterscotty]

Hi everyone,

Struggling with something that should be basic. 

I want to change the colour of the background of my blog from black to white, without change the site theme-colour. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Scott

I want to change the background for my blog page to white too. But the code doesn't work either. I pasted the code into the "header code," under SEO settings. Any other way to fix it?

What is the address of your blog page?

[DH31]

Here it is: http://www.dawnhusted.com/tidbits. I'm using a light theme, and I want the blog page to have a white background, with black text.

Something like this will do it on the published site (but not the editor):

<style>
    .main-wrap
    {
        background: #fff !important;
    }
    .blog-title-link, .paragraph
    {
        color: #000 !important;
    }
</style>

Add that to the Header Code field for the page on the Pages tab.

OMG it worked!!! I pasted the code into the footer and the header under the SEO blog page. Thank you!!!!!

Glad to hear that worked for you!

Hi, BJ!

This isn't working for me... I'm not familiar with code at all, so I may just be doing it wrong, but I copy and pasted the code you posted in the header section on the blog page SEO settings and nothing happened. Could you possibly help with this?

Thanks!

To clarify, I currently have a white background with black text, but I'd like to change it so I can choose a colored or gradient background like I can on other pages on my website, if that's possible.

[Bernadette3]

I'm not sure if it is a different process for a gradient background, but can you post a link to your blog page?

Hi, For me exactly the same.

Can anybody help? My background is white and I made my link texts white too, because the rest of the website has a dark blue/gray photo background.

My website is mkbfundingpartners.nl

So I did copy paste the text to both the SEO header and footer code and the bog header and footer code

Hi @DJ2 Are you saying you copy/pasted the code that Adam suggested in this thread? Did you publish the site and check the online version? Sometimes edited code does not work within the editor, but will show on the live site.

Have anyone manage to change Blog's background to match on other pages of their site?

I changed the code to what you said but changed the #fff to #ff0 to get a yellow background and it did not change.  I tried #000 for black and it did not change. Any ideas what I did wrong?

[BJ5]

Can you post a link to your site @bannergrammy?

Hello,

I haven't read every reply on every thread on this, but I still can't change my Blog background.

I've tried putting the code into the SEO header section and a few other ways and nothing has worked.

It still just stays fully black. 

It's really a probem because my readers are complaining that it's too harsh (fully black background) and text is difficult to read.

I want to make it gray. 

Please any help appreciated.

Hello,

I've tried everything suggested in this thread, nothing changes the background.

It's really important because it's totally black, which is unuseable for my blog figures and text.

I need it to be medium gray.

My (new) blog is
