WordPress Change sidebar background color

[jrobin747]

My web site it http://www.gospelrappers.org

I need to change the background color of my sidebar and I don’t know what to change. I’ve used firebug to try and find what it is that I have to change but I’ve been unsuccessful.

Thanks for anyhelp.

On the sidebar class, line 989 on style.css, add background color to override the inherited color.

Thanks zedmus. I thought that was the place but no change

I set it to black

.sidebar {
color: #000000;
padding: 0 0 36px;
}

but it’s still showing up as dark grey

Try this

.sidebar { background: #000000; padding: 0 0 36px; }

In the code you currently have, “color: #000000;” sets the TEXT color to black.

I had to change the graphic. I did some testing. bg-main.jpg within #container was controlling the body. I deleted the graphic and the body background was transparent. So I changed the graphic to black in photoshop. that solved it

#container{
background: #000000 url(images/bg-main.jpg) repeat-y;
color: #ccc;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 920px;
}
