Coders use something like Firebug to “Inspect Element” so they can know where to find something, but I search my sheet for color numbers and then try them here http://www.colorhexa.com/ while figuring out which one displays where.
I have no idea about this Weaver theme, but you have two options.
1. Edit the style-weaver.css file and locate this CSS class:
input[type="text"], textarea, input[type="submit"] {
[...]
}
And edit it to this:
input[type="text"], textarea, input[type="submit"] {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(255, 255, 255);
}
2. Open up your style.css and find this:
input[type="text"], textarea {
For the “background” property, use this:
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(249, 249, 249) !important;
It’s a bit of a hack, but it should work for you. 🙂
@joe Manna – Modifying theme files is NOT a good approach – as changes will be lost when the theme is updated. Changes should be made in a child theme or custom CSS option or plugin.
@clarkplaysguitar – the best place for help with Weaver theme is on the developer’s dedicated forums here:
http://weavertheme.com/forum/
@wp Yogi – Agreed. I wasn’t aware of the Weaver theme. Thanks!
To everyone that has replied – thank you for your input. @wp Yogi – I couldn’t get anything from weavertheme.com to come up yesterday, all I got was “site down for maintenance” or the 500 internal server error when I went there, but the link is working today, so I will definitely reach out there. Apparently they got hacked a week or so back and are still recovering.
I was hoping someone here would have a quick & easy solution, but no doubt the weaver forum will be able to point me in the right direction.
Thanks again to everyone that replied. 🙂

Yes, they’ve had some problems lately – though I did check the forum before posting that here.
The solution above may work fine but that CSS should be ADDED to a custom CSS or child theme – to avoid modifying theme files – that’s what I was trying to say above. Sorry if it wasn’t very clear.
I think Weaver theme has a custom CSS option built into the theme so try adding that code there.
I also just wanted you to have benefit of the forums (assuming they are back up) – as the developer offers top-notch help there :).
@wpyogi – Oh, no worries! I knew better than to mess with the style css, and like I said earlier, the Weaver forum was one of the first places I went & they were down at that point. And I was impatient, on top of it.
So here’s what I did: I just grabbed the latest Weaver theme (Weaver II v2.0) and installed that, rather than digging into where the code issue was. Lazy, probably, but wow – easy as pie to tweak the widgets, etc. And now my site is totally presentable again.
Thanks again, everybody, for your replies. And @wpyogi, you’re right – Bruce is a champ, & Weaver support is great.
Best wishes,
Clark
Awesome – good going all around!
