Try this css: * ``` .postid-577 .contentclass { background-color: #e9e9e9; } ``` * 2. * ``` .sidebar .textwidget { background-color: #fff; padding: 5px; } ``` * Hope that helps! * Hannah * Thread Starter [antoineO](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoineo/) * (@antoineo) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-article-background/#post-6200825) * Thanks Hannah * It works for the sidebar / textwidget. * Otherwise, for your code “.postid-577 .contentclass”, my problem is that it concerns only one article. But I would like to apply it for all my future articles, without applying for each new article ID. * Is it possible ? * Thxs * [hannah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hannahritner/) * (@hannahritner) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-article-background/#post-6200850) * I think this will work: * ``` .single-post .contentclass { background-color: #e9e9e9; } ``` * Hannah * Thread Starter [antoineO](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoineo/) * (@antoineo) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-article-background/#post-6200853) * Perfect !

I get what you are saying. I usually use Jetpack but it has been slowing down my sites lately so was trying to do something else. Don’t have the option under appearance. I’ll probably try support from the theme. I just saw that one of the people on their support team had responded to this and it was more or less the same issue so I thought I’d tag on here, but seems I should have opened a new issue. * Thanks for trying! * [Tahoerock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tahoerock/) * (@tahoerock) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-article-background/#post-6201056) * ok Fell free to ask in the future TR * [Tahoerock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tahoerock/) * (@tahoerock) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-article-background/#post-6201057) * BTW Why is your URL so strange?? 🙂 TR Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-article-background/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-article-background/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Blog > Article > background’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/pinnacle/1.8.10/screenshot.png) * Pinnacle * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/pinnacle/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/pinnacle/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/pinnacle/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/pinnacle/reviews/) * 16 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [jfahrenkrog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jfahrenkrog/) * Last activity: [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-article-background/page/2/#post-6201058) * Status: resolved
