Custom Page/Post Background Color

[geezer466]

I have been trying to place inline css to create a simple page background colour shade.

When I try and create it in a div in the code editor(at the top of the page) it pushes the sidebar out of position and will not display the colour although I am able to achieve the same further down the page within the p element without displacing the Sidebar.

I know there is a way to achieve this by adding a snippet to the stylesheet with the page/post name as a reference.

Can someone please place an example of the snippet and where I should place it and how to call it.

I know there is a plugin available to do what I want but I want to learn to code it the harder way.

 

Many thanks

Thanks Brad I was hoping to avoid using a plugin but clearly you think this is the best option?

I think that its best to go with something that has been developed and tested over time which works.

You could use PHP or CSS code to do it as well however these plugins may make the job easier.
