Hi there,

I am a CSS newbie & I have the Bueno Theme (www.nikitasheth.wordpress.com)& was wondering if it is possible to ‘remove’ the white text box that is surrounding my pictures and text?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks for your help,
Nikita

I can’t even see your blog. There is something called scorecardsearch.com that is hanging things up. My suggestion would be to kill it dead. This is a guess.
```
.post {
background-color:none;
border:5px solid none;
}

.entry img {
border:none;
}
```

If you want to get rid of the border around the header as well, this should do it.
```
#header-image img {
border:none;
}
```

sacredpath thank you so much for your reply- much appreciated!

I will try that coding tonight on my laptop.

Also- I cant view my ‘original CSS style sheet’ – would you have
any idea why this is? Do you know if I have to cut/copy the original style sheet from somewhere?

Thanks again!

@nixsheth: Do you mean the white border around your header image or the white background to your whole Chai Tea post?

Here is the link to the stylesheet, but do NOT paste the whole thing into your CSS edit box. It will mess things up. At wordpress.COM, you only want to put in the specific selectors and the specific attributes you are adding or changing and then make sure that “add to existing…” is selected. Your changes/additions will override the original selectors and attributes in the original stylesheet.

Copy and paste the CSS into a plain text file (notepad or text edit) and then only copy and paste what you are changing. You can copy the code I have above directly into the editor.

Sacredpath thank you for that! looking forward to editing!

@panaghiotisadam – yes I mean the white background around the
whole Chai tea post…is that possible? I would prefer to change
it to something darker?

Thanks again for all your help.

In my above code, simply put in the hex color value you want instead of “none” for background-color.

If you want to have a border on it, you can change that also. The syntax is:

border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;

Just change the color value and you can also change the width.

You can do the same for .image also. Just use the same border syntax as with .post.

JPEG does not support transparency. You need to either convert the file to gif or PNG to support transparency. Your other alternative is to remove the box from the image then change the style to show a margin to compensate for the box padding.

firstly thank sacredpath- i can finally change the colour!

addydigit – how can i remove the box completely?

Also- I am really struggling to increase the width of my main column (ie. the where my text and images are) – everytime i try and expand it my sidebar dissapears (i have searched for 1 hr+ on other forums!!)

Any ideas?

Thanks again- really appreciate your help.

Are you wanting to keep the sidebar the same width, or decrease the width of that?

If you are wanting to increase the post area width, but keep the sidebar the same width, you always have to start with the main container selectors and then work inward.

Tell me what you want to do and I’ll have a look for you.
