    Hi guys. I am using motion theme as my template and have customised it to suit my needs but I can’t see how to edit the code to include a semi-transparent background behind the posts. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? I have trawled through the forum but not found anything that shows exactly how. Any help appreciated.

    Is this the theme you are using?

    http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/motion

    As you can see, it’s pretty outdated…probably not a great way to go as you may run into compatibility issues.

    That said, the best way to add a transparent background is to use a transparent image in the background CSS – you’ll need to make the image in an image program.

    Thanks WPyogi

    I am using Motion, yes.

    How do I find where exactly to change that CSS. I can create an image ok or could copy and paste code to match background transparency as it appears around/behind widgets etc

    Without seeing your site, no way to help with CSS questions specifically. Using a tool such as Firebug should identify the CSS or HTML to use.

    If you could have a look at it I would be grateful

    Probably using the content div would work – though you may need to adjust some padding or margins as well:

    #content {
    background: put the image CSS here;
    float: left;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 640px;
}

    BTW, did you just start using this theme? (Just concerned that you will run into problems with it down the road…)
