Meh, one of those threads I used #page-wide when it’s supposed to be #page-wrap ;/ my bad, anyways

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-color-of-dots-in-background-and-make-3-column-background-transparent?replies=5

Apparently I made that distinction inside that thread ;/ a post just a couple down.

#page-wrap { background-image: none; }

It’s in the style-default.css

Recommend you put it in your child theme, or jetpack’s css editor; or if you have neither of those, edit the style-default.css directly and comment out or delete the #page-wrap element

..there is.. it’s just not .. right? all of the posts having comments is going to be encumbersome and i’m not really sure how it will work if you use any plugins like jetpacks comments and such that modify the look of the comment section and the comment-reply javascript might go all out of whack, however.. search for $withcomments for the proper directions for how to do it

First thing you do is remove the constrains of the 980px width that is holding that section.

#page { width: auto; }

Next is you reconstrain the rest of the items ‘except’ the #header

#menubar-wrapper, #breadcrumb-wrapper, #content-wrapper, #footer { width: 980px; margin: 0 auto; }

That will make the #header { } not be constrained by 980px and you can then make it as wide as you want.

However, you’re going to find that it’s going to mess up the look on almost all browsers, if those browsers were to minimiaze their width and not be full screen all the time, especially mobile browsers.

Putting the wide image in the #page-wrap would be more appropriate and then just padding the #header section to have it display

.. they should be doing that automatically, it’s not written to ‘not’ display them.

Did you check your settings -> discussion in your wp-admin?

In the upper right hand corner of the post/page editor there’s ‘screen options’ checkmark the ‘discussion’ one to have it display the checkbox to either enable or disable comments for that post/page.

you can use the edit CSS again and just do

Yeah, that’s the hokeyness of the way that appearance -> background is handling things ;/

Probably best to just use the EDIT CSS

body {
background-color: #c6eff7;
background-image: none;
}

will do it, remove the background image and set that background color you wanted

background: #c6eff7 url('http://linktoimage.jpg') top center repeat;

is another way of writing the background css element if you use an image .. there are other controls to it and are easily searched for

yeah just comment out the // add_action for the wp_title at the top of the functions.php
