 * Hi, I am very new to WP learning as I start my site, I am using SG Double I would
   like to know how to hide the borders on these widgets.
 * I am complete novice so any answers try to understand this point.
 * Thanks in advance.

 *     ```
       .column .widget {
           border: 1px solid rgba(204,204,204,1);
       }
       ```
   
 * That looks like the code that creates the borders on widgets.
 * Normally when you change the style of a theme you create what is called a’child
   theme’ first and then make the changes in that. If you just make changes to the
   theme directly without making a child theme first, any changes you make just 
   get overwritten when you update the theme. So you might need to learn how to 
   make a child theme going forward or get someone to do this for you.
 * But aside from the above, basically you need to find that code in style.css and
   change the 1px to 0px and the widget border should go away. If that were the 
   only change you were going to make then maybe maybe it might be OK to do this
   change in the editor in the Admin but be warned it’s not usually the recommended
   way to go about it (because… your borders would come back when the theme is updated
   and that code overwritten).
 * Hope that helps!

 * Monalicia, thank you very much that helps a lot and thanks for the clear explanation,
   I will look into getting the child theme created as suggested and make the change.
 * Cheers. 🙂
