In reply to: Change body color of just one page?WPyogi, I actually was looking through some other posts on this forum, and one of your other responses in that topic actually solved this for me.
Someone asked how to change the post title color of just one page, and you responded with this:
.page-id-265 #content .entry-title {
display: none;
}So I changed that to:
.page-id-143 #content .pagecontent {
background: 000000;
}Thanks for all your help!

In reply to: Change body color of just one page?Is there a way to show you the site without making it available for the general public to see if they so happen to type in the site?
We are supposed to have a surprise unveiling of the new site next month and I’m afraid if the link was made live, lots of people would see the in-progress construction before it was ready to go.
Here is a picture if it helps. This is just your basic full-width page with a featured image stretched across the top and then a normal body of text underneath it. I want to change the white background behind the text to black, but only on this page, not on any of the other full-width pages.

I do have Firebug and inspected the element. This is the part of the style.css that seemed to govern that particular background:
“pagecontent {
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 15px 20px;
background: #FFFFFF;”Changing this background hex code to black does what I want on the page, but unfortunately because it is the style.css, it does it to all of the other pages as well.
I tried the little code you suggested:
body.page-id-143 #content {
background-color: #000000;and tried plugging it in both under that pagecontent section, and at the end of the style.css itself, and neither seemed to do the trick.
Thanks for your responses so far.

In reply to: What the heck just happened to my footer? (Pics)Whoops, never mind – found the problem.
In the style.css, my .postcontent section was missing a } at the end to contain it all.
Surprised I was able to pinpoint it that quickly. I appreciate the responses though.

In reply to: What the heck just happened to my footer? (Pics)OK, it appears the problem is that the background and proper spacing has disappeared from all content containers. So this means it’s not a problem with just the footer.
Edit: Resolved

In reply to: Change body color of just one page?Sorry I might have used the wrong terminology – the “container” might be the better word for it.
I have a custom background – the image that displays behind all the containers.
But right now I am working on a full-width page container, and I want the background of the container itself to be black instead of white. Is there a way to do that?
And as far as showing my site, I have a maintenance mode plugin active right now so that our web visitors can’t see the construction in progress as they go to our site…

In reply to: What exactly does "2 Page Templates" mean?How hard is that to do for a beginner like me?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: What exactly does "2 Page Templates" mean?So the themes that have only a single page template – what do you do if you want to make a page that is full-width, vs. a page that is two columns, or that has a sidebar, etc.
Are you just out of luck?

In reply to: Can someone answer some questions about Page Templates for me?Thanks for the response – I was planning on downloading a theme.

In reply to: What exactly does "2 Page Templates" mean?I haven’t actually purchased it, just trying to figure out whether to purchase it. I’ll start a new topic with less specific wording if you don’t like me talking about a particular theme.

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: What exactly does "2 Page Templates" mean?Thanks for the response – I need the majority of the content pages on my site to be full-width. Basically on each page I want a big picture (relevant and specific to that page) at the top with the text underneath.
It’s just confusing to hear “two page templates.” on a premium theme that costs $80.
Some of the free ones I have been messing around with seem to have 15-20.
It seems like something you actually have to pay for would have a good amount of page templates to choose from when creating each page, rather than just two?
The support documentation on the theme is confusing as hell:
2.6 Custom Page Templates
The theme comes with a number of in built custom page templates. These
templates can be used on individual pages to alter the display or functionality.
2.6.1 Archives Template
The theme comes packed with a simple archives template. To create your
archives, simply create a page using the “Archives” page template. The archive
lists will automatically display below any page content. Lists include the last 30
posts, archives by month and archives by subject.
2.6.2 Full Width Template
The Full Width template allows the creation of a page without a sidebar. The
main content will span the full width of the site. To use the template, simply
create a page using the “Full Width” page template.What the hell is that supposed to mean? It says “a number of inbuilt templates.” Are they trying to say that “two” is “a number of?” Are the archive and full-width templates they talk about right there the ONLY two templates? This is frustrating.
