 * How do you edit the job background on a header? There is no option to edit it
   for me. The header background colour is just dark grey.
 * Usually on posts, you can add an image or colour in the categories section.
 * Any help would be very much appreciated.

 * Hi [@krisbinns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krisbinns/) ,
 * WP Job Manager follows the styling of your existing WordPress theme. The Job 
   Header background can be easily customized via your theme. An example CSS to 
   customize the background of the Job Title to Blue would be:
 *     ```
       h1.entry-title {
           background-color: blue;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hi Deric,
 * Thank you for your reply. I tried adding that code to additional CSS in the theme
   customization but unfortunately nothing changed.

    an active job would
   be nice, otherwise we can´t see the header you´re talking about

 * this should be the right CSS
 *     ```
       .page-title {
           background-size: cover;
           background-position: center center;
           background-repeat: no-repeat;
           background-color: red;
       }
       ```
   
 * Just change background-color: red to your needs
 * also you need to edit the before item with this
 *     ```
       .page-title:before {
           position: absolute;
           content: '';
           left: 0px;
           top: 0px;
           width: 100%;
           height: 100%;
           display: block;
           background-color: red;
       }
       ```
