 * Can’t seem to come up with the CSS descriptor for my child theme style.css to
   remove the background from the post image and link (post title) with FPW. I can
   see it’s a single div background behind the large image and title. I can target
   the div with Chrome Inspector but can’t modify the background. A 5px padding 
   outside the image, all 4 sides might work as well. Don’t like the title tight,
   flush left below the image. Suggestions.Thanks.

 * Hi Jeff,
 * the correct CSS to remove the background color would be:
    `.dpe-flexible-posts.
   hentry {background: transparent}`
 * Cheers!

 * Sorry Dave..doesn’t work either in my theme CSS or added to the bottom of your
   css. I just need the background transparent behind the image and the post title
   that’s right below the large image. Thanks. Jeff

 * Hi Jeff,
 * You would need to add the CSS line above to your child theme’s styles.

 * Thanks Dave, Worked. Gremlins, that’s all it could be. Tried it earlier in my
   child theme but it didn’t work. That’s probably because I didn’t cut and paste
   your code the first time around! Like your plug-in by the way.
