    I am using the Outreach theme - and I would like the home-top/home-featured widget area to have no background.

    Right now it is white: http://www.gmofreeplanet.com

    It is taking it from the content div - but if I change that to none/transparent - then that also removes the white from the content areas, where I definitely need/want it.

    I have looked at this thread: http://www.studiopress.community/topic/outreach-pro-removing-color-from-content-area-on-home-page/ - but was not able to successfully implement what was suggested because I am not using the genesis slider.

    I know it is something simple and I'm just not seeing the right place to change it - so any help will be greatly appreciated :).

    Thank you in advance!!!!

    Hello,

    You actually can target the #content element and set the background to transparent. You just need to specify the rule for the home page only.

    /* append after the original .home background color declaration */
    .home #content{
        background: transparent;
    }

    I hope this helps.

    Yup, I knew it was going to be something easy/obvious that I was missing ... I was using
    .home .content .... when I needed to be using .home #content ...

    Thank you!!!!!!!!
