 * Hi,
    I am using 2011 child theme which I customized myself. There are two issues
   I am struggling at the moment.
 * 1. [http://designmobisite.com/features/](http://designmobisite.com/features/)
 * I set site background to black but body background can’t be changed. I tried 
   using my css code as follows:
 * body {
    background: #fff; line-height: 1; }
 * But that did not work.
 * 2. On the homepage
 * I can’t bring my footer menu. Please note this is a custom page and I checked
   it has footer code there.
 * Please can someone help me on this?
 * Anam

 * Change:
 * background: #fff;
 * to
 * background-color: #fff;
 * I don’t understand #2. The page has a footer that I can see.

 * 1.
    the site background might have been set under: **dashboard – appearance –
   background**
 * 2.
    what is the code of the page template file anam.php ?

 * [@lorax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorax/) no adding background-color:#
   fff; isn’t working.
 * [@alchymyth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) I am mainly referring
   to content background not the site bg.

 * why are you then posting the CSS for the body background?
 * what background exactly do you want to change?
 * are you familiar with any browser inspection tool? using one would help you to
   identify where and what you need to edit in the styles.
