    Does anyone know how to get my single post titles (http://www.youmeandfivebucks.com/free-to-be-me/) and page titles (http://www.youmeandfivebucks.com/about/) to have a white background for the text like my homepage titles (http://www.youmeandfivebucks.com/) and sidebar widget titles have? I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure it out--any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Line 1036 of your child themes style.css file you could change the background to something like this:

    .page h1, .single h1, h2 {
        background:  #FFFFFF;
        line-height: 1.2;
        margin-bottom: 1rem;
        text-align: center;
    }
    

    Remove the selectors you don't want to apply the changes too.

    Thanks, Brad. But that CSS actually is making the whole line white. What I'm trying to do is keep the stripes in the title area and only have a white background where the text is (like the post title "Free to Be Me" on my homepage http://www.youmeandfivebucks.com).

    I use this code:

    `.page h1,
    .single h1,
    h2,
    h3,
    h4,
    h5,
    h6 {
    background: url(images/lines.png);
    text-align: center;
    line-height: 1.2;
    margin-bottom: 16px;
    margin-bottom: 1rem;
    }
    .entry-title a {
    background-color: #fff;
    line-height: 1;
    padding: 0 8px;
    padding: 0 0.5rem;
    }`

    ...to get the text with white background for my homepage post titles, but the white background doesn't show up on my single post pages and About/Contact pages.
