    Hi,

    I’m working with a Live WP theme. I want to change the page background colour from white to transparent. I’ve had a look in the CSS and for the life of me I can’t find the #body background info I need to change. If the theme doesn’t have the background colour defined in the CSS is there a way for me to add it?

    New to CSS coding. Thanks in advance.

    Ok, I’m running off you saying you’re “New”

    You mentioned #Body – are you looking for something with the ID=”Body” ? If so it’s likely not. If you identified the CSS file you could try…
    body {opacity: 0 !important;}

    the “!important” tag there will trump other commands, assuming there isn’t another of its kind. Also note that the opacity command does not work in older browser versions (especially IE).

    Though, what I would do is just be determined to find the css command that impacts body – often in the beginning of the CSS file.

    If you are working with a theme it’s definitely worth your time reading the read-me files and also when you’re in the CSS file look for Commented area as they often guide users.
    i.e. /* THIS IS A COMMENTED AREA */
