# Help changing article body (?)

 * Hi everyone. I am in need of help removing or changing the color of a white box
   that’s floating in the middle of my website. I’ve attached an image of the box
   I want to remove.
 * I’m pretty sure everything is working correctly, it’s just that I’m new to all
   of this and don’t have mastery over the controls yet. I’ve checked a couple youtube
   tutorials, but none are helpful.
 * Thanks

 * We would need to see the underlying html code and css to identify what exactly
   is causing that “white” block. In your browser, can you right click on the white
   element and use the “Inspect” or “Inspect Element” option that shows up in the
   contextual menu? This will open up your browser developer tools and show you 
   the underlying HTML structure and the CSS being applied to it. Once you have 
   that element and it’s styling identified, it should simply be a matter of creating
   some custom CSS to override the existing styling.

 * I know literally nothing about coding, but I’ll be watching some tutorials soon.
 * As for the inspect element, it looks like there are multiple causes, but the 
   big umbrella cause seems to be
 *     ```
       <div class="container content-wrapper">
       			<div class="row">	
       	<div id="primary" class="content-area col-md-9">
       		<main id="main" class="post-wrap" role="main">
   
   
   
       <article id="post-8" class="post-8 page type-page status-publish hentry">
       	<header class="entry-header">
       		<h1 class="title-post entry-title">Home</h1>	</header><!-- .entry-header -->
   
       	<div class="entry-content">
       					</div><!-- .entry-content -->
   
       	<footer class="entry-footer">
       		<span class="edit-link"><a class="post-edit-link" href="http://ecosophy.cloudaccess.host/wp-admin/post.php?post=8&action=edit">Edit</a></span>	</footer><!-- .entry-footer -->
       </article><!-- #post-## -->
   
   
   
       		</main><!-- #main -->
       	</div><!-- #primary -->
   
       			</div>
       		</div>
       ```
