Change color sidebar widget background Outreach

[wizz6113]

I am trying to 'deactivate' for want of a better word, the sidebar widgets but keep the sidebar in place (ie,. keep the space and merely 'hide' the widgets.).

I thought that by making the background of the primary sidebar widgets white, I'd make them invisible. But the default 'black background' still shows. Despite my tweaking CSS in various obvious places.

Where can I find the CSS code to make the widget boxes white background, so I can not populate them and make them invisible by this workaround?

Thanks. See the inner page eg link for my prob.

Look for following code in style.css file

.outreach-pro-blue .author-box,
.outreach-pro-blue .nav-secondary .wrap,
.outreach-pro-blue .sidebar .widget  {
	background-color: #17222b;
}

.outreach-pro-blue .nav-secondary .genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu,
.outreach-pro-blue .nav-secondary .genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu a {
	background-color: #17222b;
	border-color: #2d3b45;
	color: #fff;
}

Change #17222b to #fff at two places

Thanks Davinder,

I did those, but I think it must be being overridden by some code elsewhere as it still hasn't changed, unless it's a server slow update thing.

This is what I still see: http://wpreneur.com/iicss/centres/centre-for-global-disability-research/

The black box of the widget background in the sidebar.

Any other thoughts?

Tnx so much!

I checked your CSS code, it still shows "background-color: #17222b;" in style.css file.

Are you using some caching plugin?

Davinder,

I know it's weird that I've changed code and it's still showing. I could go back and replace the earlier code to the original and just keep the 'blue' theme bit of code you point out as the changed one. I use Siteground hosting and they have a super cacher so I wonder if that's the issue; mind you, it's been some hours now and I still see the black default widget background!

Any other suggestions anyone?

Hi, it's been few hours now. I checked your website code again. It is still showing (background-color: #17222b;). Go to your style.css file and see if you see #17222b color code there.

Davinder,

I have now gone over the CSS again and put #fff instead of #ffffff and that seemed to do the trick! Have no idea why the 3-digit hex as opposed to the 6-digit hex for white was the issue!

thanks for taking the time to go over the code and your constant updates.

cheers,
Wizz
