I wouldn’t consider myself a complete noob to css, but I’m having the hardest time finding the right thing to change for the header bg; that gray color is just not working for me… I did get the pro version, so is there anyway possible for me to do this?

@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;
}

Thank you, however this did not work. Is just putting what you wrote not sufficient enough? Is more CSS needed? (If that makes sense.)

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

It’s an embarrassing work-in-progress, but here it is: Panelsandposes.com 

Don’t laugh <___<

@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;
}

I successfully changed my background color once in #header, but when I recently went back and changed the color it is not displaying properly. I can see through firebug what is overriding the change, but I don’t understand the description it’s giving…just a folder, not a .css. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

@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.

@sakin, Thank you! I forgot I had added it to “Custom CSS”! Forgot about that box in theme options altogether once I started using the “editor” in the appearance menu.

[Sakin]

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

Can I use my own image to replace the header with Simple Catch Pro?

[Sakin]

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