Change background colour in Gallery Pro theme

[sunshiner]

Hi Folks,

Rookie question here. I have designed a site using Gallery Pro, but the client does not like the bright white background. She wants a colour to make it look "more professional." Sigh.

Obviously I'm not a pro, I can manage widgets and plugins but not usually into CSS etc. How do I change the background colour?

Thanks a million 🙂

The background color is in a body tag at line 28 in style.css.

Hi Victor,
As I mentioned, I'm not very familiar with CSS. I tried changing the style sheet to no avail. Can you tell me where I should type in the colour? The HEX code is #D9CEB2.
Thanks again for your help.
Karen

Hello, Would you please tell me at what specific line does the line count begin. Are blank lines counted?
Thank you so much!

Hello,
I was not able to change the background color at line 29 in the CSS Editor. Did it work for you? If so, How did you do it.

This is the line 29 code I changed as recommended by Mr. Font in reply to your questions.

body { background: #FFF; }

When I insert another code, it does not change the background color.

Thanks for your help. I'm hoping you have solved this one 🙂

I answered my own question and can share it here. I used the customizer CSS instead of the Editor. I copied this into the CSS (on the Customizer)

body { background: #FFF; }

and changed the color code.

The background color changed!

Does anyone know how to suppress the POST INFO and remove the AUTHOR info at the end of each post for the posts in GALLERY PRO theme?

Here is the site in progress. Testimonials are the BLOG and POSTS (where I don't want the post info or author info to show.

Thanks!
