    Hi,

    Love the Vantage theme. I’m quite a noob with coding etc. Need some help in changing the background color for the entire page for all my pages. I managed to change the header background colour, but not for the rest of the page. I am using meta slider as well. Will need to change the background of this as well.

    Would appreciate your help.

    Regards,
    Sahil

    hi,

    Are you using a child theme?

    I put these two lines in the style.css file of the child theme (active theme):
    header#masthead {background: #201f1d;}
    #main {background: #201f1d;}

    To find out where the changes go I used “inspect element” from the browser (try installing web developer tools if you did not already do that 🙂 )

    Hey makapa,

    Thanks! I’m not using a child theme. Just the good old Vantage Theme. I found the #main {background: ffffff} text and made the change to the hex number and it worked!

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Sahil,

    You’re welcome.

    Careful with the theme updates because if you modified the theme’s style.css file all your customization will be overwritten with the next theme update.

    Thanks for the warning. I just read this somewhere so am figuring out how to install a child theme. Luckily, haven’t made too many changes to the Theme’s style.css file at this point. Whew!
