Looks like that’s a theme option for a custom background.
many thanks! Yes, it was an image file that was tiled. If you don’t mind, any idea how I can get rid of the slight shadow cast by the background of the main body? Ideally, the grey of the outside and the grey background of the title logo should just flow into each other. Many thanks for your help!

Looks like the box-shadow here:
#page {
box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
height: auto !important;
margin: 0 auto -45px;
min-height: 100%;
}
But hopefully you are making any changes using a custom CSS option – so that your changes won’t be overwritten when the theme is updated.
If the theme doesn’t have custom CSS, you can add via a plugin and ADD your CSS changes there – i.e. copy the code above and change the box-shadow to “none”.
many, many thanks for staying with me through this. Your suggestion worked fine!
I also appreciate your very important advice to check for custom CSS. Can I follow up with some super-stupid question: I usually go to “appearance” and then “editor” to make these changes. Does that mean I have custom CSS? Is there a way of checking whether I have it or not?
I usually go to “appearance” and then “editor” to make these changes.
If you are modifying a theme file (i.e. style.css) no, that’s not custom CSS and those changes will be lost when the theme is updated :(. Custom CSS would be under theme options, typically.
But lots of themes don’t have that built-in, but you can easily add a plugin such as Custom CSS Manager (there are many others too).
Many thanks. Ok, I got Custom CSS Manager and activated it. But now what should I do? I have made numerous changes in “appearance…editor” How can I protect them? Should I copy and paste the whole file from “editor” into Custom CSS Manager?
I apologize for being so dumb but CSS Manager just presents me with a wide open, empty text box labeled “CSS Code” and I have no idea what I am supposed to do?
My apologies for being such a newbie 🙁
