Hi,

I just installed this theme, with some demo content and am now trying to customize the website. In theme options there’s an option to change the background of the site, however even if I set it to black, it still stays the same (white).

Changing the ‘main color’ in theme options works, so I don’t understand why ‘site background’ doesn’t work.

Thank you for your reply.

Kind regards,
Dominique

Please, contact administrator

Hello,

Site background option works for Boxed layout, which you can select in Theme Options > General > Site Layout.
To change background color for full width layout you need add this code in Theme Options > Custom CSS > Global Custom CSS:
```
.st-content {
    background-color: black;
}
```
Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Hi,

It works if I add it to Global Custom CSS in Theme Options, but how do I make it work with the style.css in my child theme?
I’ve added this code to the child theme CSS (even adding !important) but I’m not sure why it doesn’t work.
Thanks for helping!
Dominique

Nevermind, I have found the issue. It appeared the following line was missing from functions.php in my child theme:
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );

After adding this, the child CSS now works.
