    Hi there,

    I am trying to change the background color of my blog posts-- however, I can't figure out how to change ONLY the post background color without also changing the color of every page's content area... is there some way to isolate just the blog post area?

    I tried this but no luck, the article/blog post stays transparent:

    .site-inner {
    padding-top: 60px !important;
    background: transparent !important;
    }

    .content, .full-width-content .content, .content .entry {
    background: transparent !important;
    padding-top: 0 !important;
    }

    article {
    background: red !important;
    }

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi there

    If it's just blog posts, I think you need to get more specific in your CSS.

    Something like:

    body.single.single-post .entry {
    background-color: red;
    }

    Without seeing your site, I can't be sure this would work.

    Thanks
    Dom
