    Hi, I’m stef, relative newbie (with prior experience in Dreamweaver, HTML, and a bit of CSS), Rebuilding my site in WordPress,using a child theme of Origami (Origami_child) and have reached the two-day limit of self-googling on this problem, pretty positive its related to CSS.

    Trying to change container colour (that is, the colour surrounding the main content div), have tried SiteOrigin CSS plugin, have tried hand-typing/customizing my style.css sheet via ftp, have tried cutting/pasting CSS from original Origami theme and then fiddling with hex colours, have tried general customize settings through the theme itself, have tried installing firebug to figure out what code is in fact responsible for that area, no luck, etc etc etc.

    Am out of ideas and would be so grateful for any tips.
    Thanks in advance!
    stef

    so this is embarassing, FIVE hours trying to solve this problem, I write a post begging for assistance, and then return to my site to see I have somehow managed it. Must have been a cache thing (although I had emptied it multiple times) Patting myself on the shoulder, onwards (still have an issue with my drop-down menu/photo books in other forum)
