Title: Posting Issue Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Posting Issue * Resolved [erikschurig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikschurig/) * (@erikschurig) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/) * Ok, * I’m sure this is fairly simple but being somewhat of a newb at php and css Im confused. I changed the background for northern web coder theme to an image now when I post the white that should in the post isnt and the text is over the background. * [http://erikschurig.com](http://erikschurig.com) * Basicly I want to post, have text on white, and have the bg be in the bg of the page not the post. I know the codes just what am I forgetting or not adding or both? * Thanks, Erik Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Thread Starter [erikschurig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikschurig/) * (@erikschurig) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476573) * Any ideas? * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476574) * Did you add a definition for the bg to the style.css or did it already have one? Also, what is defined in style.css for the white bg for the post? * Thread Starter [erikschurig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikschurig/) * (@erikschurig) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476577) * well in the theme the code was background: #color; * but I changed that to background: url(img link); * and when I did that I lost the white background in post so I have to think that color was tied into the background of the post since both where white. What can I add to make the bg of the post white and keep the image bg? * Thanks samboll * [delite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/delite/) * (@delite) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476578) * You could add a background color to the #content * Thread Starter [erikschurig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikschurig/) * (@erikschurig) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476579) * Thanks, but could you explain a little better. Im a total NEWB on css…where exactly? * Thanks!! * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476580) * Well all themes are different in some reagards. Mine looks like this: * `body { font: 62.5% 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; /* Resets 1em to 10px */ color: #444; background: #000000; text-align: center; margin: 0 0 30px; } #page { background: white; text-align: left; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px 0 10px; position: relative; /* The entire template's width is set in this class. */ width: 780px; _width: 740px; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-top: none;} * As you can see my body has a black background, but my page (posts) area has a white background. * If you can’t figure it out, go to: [http://wordpress.pastebin.ca](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca) and paste your style.css there and post a link back here so we can look at it. * [delite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/delite/) * (@delite) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476581) * In your css look for: * #content {position: relative; left: 30px; float: left; padding: 0; width: 450px; color: #495865; font-size: 11px;} * try adding background: #ffffff; * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476582) * _Im a total NEWB on css_ * Then you shouldn’t mess with it – on a live site 🙂 * “Exactly” in the #content part as delite said. (And I am telling you now it won’t make you 100% happy, because of the way the content div is included…) But we will not re-design your theme. You also have validation errors: [http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Ferikschurig.com%2F](http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Ferikschurig.com%2F) unclosed divs don’t help. * Thread Starter [erikschurig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikschurig/) * (@erikschurig) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476597) * Moshu, * I have searched and searched…where is the errors? I know line 113 column 26 but I have searched. Isnt there an option of page? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476598) * On the validation page click Show Source and Revalidate. Every error # will become a clickable link that takes you to the exact location of the error in the source code. * Thread Starter [erikschurig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikschurig/) * (@erikschurig) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476599) * Thank you Sir! * Thread Starter [erikschurig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erikschurig/) * (@erikschurig) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issue/#post-476603) * I see on line 73 in the source..but going through my pages…and Im not seeing it.
