Changing Header bg color

@smgrayson8: The grey background in from the background image defined in #header css. So, you can add in custom css in “Custom CSS” box in your theme option under Appearance Tab of your WordPress Dashboard.

For example to change the color you can do like this:

#header {
background: none #000;
}


@smgrayson8: I need your site url to check in details.

@smgrayson8 : No problem. You are doing great. You are using Simple Catch Pro theme which is different then simple catch theme. So, for this you can use the css as below:

#branding {
background: none #000;
}


@amberatx: I looked at you site and you have successfully changed the header background. You need add the following CSS in “Custom CSS” box in your Theme Options.

#header {
background: none #A9C6A9;
}


Please don’t add any addition css in style.css directly in parent theme. But I see that you have build Child theme. If that is the case then you don’t need to add it in “Custom CSS” box. You can add it in child theme style.css

In your case I see that you have added in both places. In child theme style.css and in theme options. That why it is a problem.

@evabigtree: Please post in your site URL so that I can check it and give you the answer.

@amberatx: Please don’t use editor and edit the core theme file. Use “Custom CSS” box.

@k.capelli: Yes you can. Check out the theme instruction of Simple Catch Pro at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/
