 * If this is just for single post backgrounds, add this CSS to match the body colour
   to the header:
 *     ```
       .single-post #main-content {
       background-color: #f9f9f4 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * It’s hard to know where to add this as some themes allow custom code to be added
   in the theme options page, or in a custom CSS file they include, but you could
   always try: ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Customize’ -> ‘Additional CSS’ first.
 * Hope that helps!

 * hi, thanks for help. I tried it on posts and pages with a css editor but nothing
   seems to have changed. Its very very strange, im pretty puzzled.

 * hi again…..that worked in the end…my post pages are uniform, thank god!! thanks
   for that!!
 * My only final problem is trying to get my archive page to also be uniform in 
   color(in the same manner as the post pages) I cannot work out in divi how or 
   where to change that at all. Also i have hidden the sidebar in posts pages too,
   but cant do that in the archive pages either.(using content aware) By archive
   page i mean the page that you link to from the categories set in the header menu
   category titles, if that makes any sense.
 * post page look like this now:
 * [http://blackdogonfood.online/sticky/the-good-the-bad-the-downright-ugly/](http://blackdogonfood.online/sticky/the-good-the-bad-the-downright-ugly/)
   (
   though i wish to god i could get rid of the separator/divider)
 * wanted my category/archive page to look the same but its ended up being like 
   this:
 * [http://blackdogonfood.online/category/news/](http://blackdogonfood.online/category/news/)
 * anyway, help has been great so far and hopping to solve those last glitches. 
   If anyone knows please yell in my direction
 * cheers
