Hi

I’m using the Catch Everest theme – thank you for your simple and professional design.

As a WP design novice, could you help me please with a couple of questions?

1) How can I change the page content background (ie in the header and main columns; I want to keep the outer background image)?

2) How do I add text to the footer widgets as you have in the demo? At the moment my pages just show an image and (sub)title. Can I add a text widget to the footer widgets to allow me to add body copy?

Thanks for any help you can give.

@Charliecorns:
1) How can I change the page content background (ie in the header and main columns; I want to keep the outer background image)?
— If you want easy access to change the colors then upgrade to Catch Everest Pro theme and you have full color options set in Theme Options panel. See this for more information about additional features on Catch Everest Pro theme http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-everest-pro/
But for free theme you have to manually change the color code in css and add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.

/* Header Background Color */
#masthead {
    background-color: #000;
}
/* Content Background Color */
.site {
    background-color: #000;
}

2) How do I add text to the footer widgets as you have in the demo? At the moment my pages just show an image and (sub)title. Can I add a text widget to the footer widgets to allow me to add body copy?
— Right now you don’t have any widgets in Footer. You have to add the widgets in Footer Area One, Footer Area Two and Footer Area Three. Add in all 3 area in you want 3 columns and 2 for two columns and 1 for only one full width. To add the widget Go to “Appearance => Widgets” and then Drag and Drop the widgets you want in the respective footer Areas.

Hi Sakin

Many thanks for your reply. I think I’ve got confused about the footer widgets area – actually I’m referring to the 3 boxes in the free Catch Everest demo which appear beneath the homepage headline and are titled Nepal Prayer Wheels/Mount Everest/Mount Kanchengunja. I can’t seem to add any explanatory text beneath the titles when I try to edit these on my page?

To change the bg colour do I simply change the CSS code you’ve provided above in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS”? Is there anywhere else I need to add it?

I really appreciate your help.

@Charliecorns: Yes for Catch Everest Free theme just add the css in “Custom CSS” box. You can change the color code as per you need. See this for color codes http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp

The items you are talking about is “Homepage Featured Content” which you can change from “Appearance => Theme Options => Homepage Settings => Homepage Featured Content Options”
