Hello All
I am a wordpress novice in London UK.
I bought a wordpress template 'the firm' from flexithemes.com.
I would like to remove ALL the background colours, including the dark grey around the slider box.
Can any one help?
I'm happy to pay $10 but I will have many more questions... probably today and am happy to pay for those of course. Is $10 ok. Don't want to insult anyone out there!!

My domain is www.freshtile.co.uk

Luis Abarca answers:

You can remove the background style in the header.php

And change this in line 14 of your style.css

body {
background: white url(images/background.png) left top repeat-x;
color: #656464;
padding: 0;
}


to this
body {
background: white;
color: #656464;
padding: 0;
}




or just add this at the end of the file styles.css


body {
background: none;
background-color: white !important;
}


Luis Abarca comments:

You should also remove this code from your header.php, i recommend you to put all your css styles in style.css


<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: #f1ddff; }
</style>


Luis Abarca comments:

do you want to remove the footer background too ?? i think looks good but if you want to, you should also need to change the font color for something darker like #333

EDIT:
on line 22 look for #F1DDFF and change it to #fff
on line 14 delete the background property and put background-color: #fff; on its place

that should do :)

Do you know how to edit CSS files?

/wp-content/themes/Firm/flexipanel/css/defaults.css
/wp-content/themes/Firm/style.css

In the appropriate places, change to #FFF (that's the color code for white) or background:none; or whatever other background manipulation you want.


If you don't know how to do CSS changes, please PM me your FTP login information - or WordPress admin login and I could do it for you.

Hi Kevin,

Welcome here.

You have to delete "images/background.png" in the next CSS code (/wp-content/themes/Firm/style.css):


body {
background: #FFFFFF url(images/background.png) left top repeat-x;
color: #656464;
padding: 0;
}


It will be:


body {
background: #FFFFFF;
color: #656464;
padding: 0;
}


I recommend you to make transparent the background.

Hi,

Open up the theme's css file (style.css).

1. For the grey background around the slider, find <strong>body</strong> and remove this line :
background: #FFFFFF url(images/background.png) left top repeat-x;

2. For the footer, find <strong>#wrap-footer</strong> and remove this line :
background: url("images/footer-wrap-bg.png") repeat-x scroll left bottom #3E3E3E;
