    Hi All,

    I am just wondering how to make my pages and posts transparent. I have the in-style theme.

    I have tried editing the style.css file and locating the background word and making it transparent as in below.

    margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; outline: 0; font-size: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; }

    But that doesnt work. I then tried locating all the background words and adding transparent next to it…as it showed me in one or 2 other forum posts.

    That didn’t work either.

    I am quite new at this wordpress. So any help would be awesome.

    Thanks

    Lionel

    You need to locate the HTML tag that handles the background and make sure you are editing the CSS for that tag. Most of the time its <body> but some times its something like <div id=”wrap”>

    If you post your URL we can probably tell you exactly which it is.

    Hi Joe,

    Yeah I made that change again.

    body { line-height: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #838383; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #ffffff; background: #000; }

    I changed the #000 to #transparent, I also then changed it to just transparent without the #

    I then tried to look for body and background and changed everything next to background.

    Also tried to change it to background: none.

    Still not working. Kinder sucks as I can see there is some sort of transparency ( for the menu at the top is transparent – thats where i saw background: none.

    but maybe i need like additional code to make the background transparent or something.

    Thanks for your help though.

    Hi Joe,

    It’s just a personal website that I am trying to create.

    http://www.allaboutlionel.com

    There isnt a lot of Information on there…but there is still some stuff.

    At the top where you see the menu – that top part is transparent. And I would like to get the whole pages and posts like that. So you can see the background.

    Would you normally in the style.css file associate like an image background to a page or post or search field or menu bar thingy?

    Just going to try and look in some other files and see If i can pretend to see whats going on.

    Thanks for your help so far.

    Hi Joe,

    I sort have figured it out. But I kinder made it too transparent.

    I edited the style.css

    Made 3 changed
    body { line-height: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #838383; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #ffffff; background: display none; }

    background-color: transparent!important; ( there should be another one somewhere else too – change it there as well. )

    But now I am trying to make it less transparent so it shows some sort of background. Lol.

    Hi, just wanted to thank Joe Hall for mentioning that “body” background colour could be found under “wrap” (or “wrapper” as it turned out to be in my case). after a couple of hours of searching like a madman, I’m finally done editing the theme for now.
    many thanks!
