Adorable – CSS Help

[angieatc]

I do not want to use the background which comes with Adorable. I need to use a custom background that fills the whole screen unlike the background that comes with Adorable.

I found this post here and tried the code Lindsey recommended. It did not work at all. I need the posting area to be white and for it to go all the way down to the footer.I always thought if you gave the #inner a background color then it would appear. What

Speaking of the footer, the white background does not work there either. There is a gap from the bottom of the screen to the text so the footer text is not even on the white background.

Can someone please help me here?

Hi,

Looks like you figured out the custom background after all. 🙂

As for the footer gap, remove the padding (change it to 0). This can be found in the style sheet on line 1437.

No I did not figure out anything. It is not the background the issue, it is the posting area I can't get to be white.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I see the issue now. Lol It's kinda been a long day. 😉

Modify your style sheet, starting with line 543 to this...

.content-sidebar #content,
.sidebar-content #content {
 width: 700px;
 background: white;
 padding: 20px;
}

Now the footer seems a bit pressed against the post content. You can fix this by adding a top margin, or try adding back the padding.

And...once I remove the padding for the footer and the background shows up. This really does not make sense to me.

And the CSS you gave me does not fix the problem either because it only does the content area. I need the whole area (posting/sidebar). Like I said previously, it should be the #inner but it does not work.

And I did add the padding back into the footer and it did the same thing! I am beyond frustrated at the moment with this theme.

I appreciate your help!

I understand your frustration. Just trying to help. 🙂

The theme designer should have her own support system in place for you to open a support ticket. She's really the best qualified to help you resolve this issue.

Try this for line 522...

.content-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap,
.full-width-content #content-sidebar-wrap,
.sidebar-content #content-sidebar-wrap {
 width: 100%;
 background: white;
}

*whispers a little prayer* 😉

Just an update on this thread... Angie reached out to the Pretty Darn Cute support desk, and was provided with a new stylesheet which was able to be customized without too much trouble to have the background she was desiring. I will close this as resolved.
