Transparent background in post content

I have tried every entry I have googled, to try to
make transparent background, so text is floating on image.

I have patched 18 places directly in CSS, “background: transparent;”

-and it just does not work! (Dont suggest child CSS, it should work
in the original too).

There are so many people asking this question, and no fixes work.
It is impossible to understand why wordpress can not fix this!

In Twenty Fifteen it is also hard to see if any change in CSS
is reflected in the site..

PLEASE!!!

I think you’ll need to link your site, it is unusual for CSS not to work in your Child Theme style.css file.

Thank you so much for the quick reply!

I am trying to patch the css directly.
Will it work better with a child css?

Will it work with the 99 USD upgrade?

Will make the child now and open the site.. give me 15 minutes..
Thank you, Andrew

Yes the .com side of WordPress is entirely different to the software distributed on WordPress.org.
Are you sure that’s the right URL? I get redirected when I go to it.

I want to have transparent background for text, so image is
looking through.
I have tried to manipulate the CSS but nothing…

If you’re not using a Child Theme, and if the theme doesn’t have a designated section of the dashboard for CSS modifications then install this Custom CSS Manager plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin

Then use its “CSS Code” section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications:

Alternatively use your Child Theme style.css file to hold your CSS modifications:
```
body .hentry,
body footer.entry-footer {
    background: none;
}
```

It is your choice to edit your post within 30 – 60 minutes of you creating it, it is fine if you choose to delete the content in your posts. We just encourage you don’t.

Put it right at the bottom, does that make a difference?

By the way I closed your website (you’ll need to link it again).
