Theme Respect (DXThemes) – removing black box on blog posts

    A strange problem, I installed WP on a clean hosting account, never used before.
    I’ve been having some javascript problems which I’ve sorted using the ”Use Google Libraries”’plugin, but now I have a prblem I just cannot seem to fix…and lacjk the experience and confidence to try too much.
    Looking at this page:

    http://andrewjonesbaritone.com.au/?p=625

    You will see just below the post title and above the image a dark shadowed box which ought to contain the image.

    As you can see, it does not. I also ought to have the post title,date etc overlaying the image but I have managed to remove that successfully.

    Could someone tell me how to go about removing this box? It’s appearing on all blog posts and driving me nuts.

    Exac instructions would be most appreciated…my thanks in advance.

    Add ‘display:none’ to this rule on line 519 of your themes style sheet (http://andrewjonesbaritone.com.au/wp-content/themes/respect/css/style.css)

    figure {
padding: 9px;
border: 1px solid #0e0e0e;
background: url(../images/bg-shadow.png) repeat 0 0;
display: none;
}

    Thank you, that did work, but it also created another problem as it also removed the 3 images that you see here (with the wording on them):

    I appreciate your help greatly but is there a way to remove the black box from blog posts only?

    This is driving me crazy and I’ve spent a full day trying to find a workable solution.

    I am hoping to solve this as my alternative is to change themes and start all over again.

    Again, my thanks for all of your very generous help.

    You could use post specific css such as 

    .postid-625 figure {
display: none;
}

    Thank you once again, I appreciate all of your help.

    However, as I am making this site for someone with no experience of WordPress whatsoever, it would only be a temporary fix…and I want it to look correct for them.

    Is it possible to put in post specific code that would range from 1-9999 for example, thereby covering all posts?
