    Hi - I am trying to finish this site for Christmas. I would like to change the Primary Sidebar background to 0a0e11 - put the items (Removals etc.) in block caps and get rid of the underline. Could someone please help me - thanks so very much and Merry Christmas!

    I'd use a plugin like simple css if you're not comfortable editing css on your own and add:

    .styles .sidebar {
    background-color: #0a0e11;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    }

    and then as far as the underline goes do you want just the sidebar links to be underline free or everything?

    Hi - I tried this and it didn't seem to change anything:
    .styles .sidebar {
    background-color: #0a0d10;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    }

    Thanks - Heather

    Hi there - try this. You are left with padding issues after changing the background colour - so I have popped a little padding in too. The .styles is only in the head of the doc and won't work in the stylesheet.

    Take a back-up of the file if you are unsure - find this and change to....

    .sidebar-primary {
    float: right;
    width: 332px;
    }

    to

    .sidebar-primary {
    float: right;
    width: 332px;
    padding: 20px;
    background: #0a0e11;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    }
    

    For the under-line try adding this....

    #menu-new-menu ul li a {
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    Let me know if it works.

    Hi - I tried this to change the color behind the sidebar and it isn't working for some reason.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi, I have checked your CSS and I can't see the changes. If you PM me I can sort for you. I can see you have WP-Super Cache, could you clear the cache and I can see if I'm looking at an old page.
