    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!!!

    the text is now in top and bottom of child css.

    I do not expect this to work, I have not seen anyone who has been able to make it work..

    I do not understand, how it can be so hellishly difficult to just turn
    off the background? Must be thousands who wish this and just give
    up..

    The side menu seems to manage it…

    Your Child Theme is not active on your site, are you sure you activated it in Appearance > Themes of the dashboard?

    Broken Themes

    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    somewhere else in wordpress pages it says that only 2 files are necessary in the child theme.. is it not correct?

    WAIT.. I fix this now…

    I think you also need a “functions.php” file. You can keep the functions.php file empty by just adding this to its code:

    <?php
    
    ?>

    If the issue persists, can you copy & paste (here) the first 20 lines of your Child Theme style.css file?

    Okay instead of this bit of your Child Theme style.css file:

    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Fifteen Child
    Theme URI: https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyfifteen
    Author: the WordPress team
    Author URI: https://wordpress.org/

    Do this:

    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Fifteen Child
    Template: twentyfifteen
    */

    This should work, add it to the CSS plugin or Child theme CSS.

    I don’t like using !important but I think the theme customizer may override the class in a child theme in this case since it’s added after the other stylesheets in the header.
    Since the dark color scheme has a color I would assume the other color schemes have #FFFFFF as the background color.

    .hentry {
    	background-color: transparent !important;
    }

    What about the entire code of your functions.php file?

    Take this out:

    /**
    * Table of Contents

    And you need to ACTIVATE the child theme.
