  Hi,

  I changed the theme of my blog to Gazette.

  I tried for hours to change the background color of my featured images but unfortunately I can’t seem to find a solution.

  The background color is currently black, but I would like to have it white or seethrough..

  Can someone help?

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is makeupforwomen.be.

  Hello.

  You will need Custom Design (custom CSS) in order to achieve that.

  Then, the following code should work:

  .post-thumbnail {
     background: #FFF
  }

  Hope that helps

  @makeupforwomen, give the following a try.

  .featured-content .post-thumbnail {
      opacity: 1 !important;
  }

  Hi,

  Thanks for the tips but unfortunately the code from Pedger didn’t work.

  The code from ‘thesacredpath’ just highlighted the featured images on the homepage.

  Just to be clear, if you CLICK on one of my blogposts the featured image has a black background. I would love the background to have this color: #FFC0CB

  Thanks so much!

  hi
  I understood your need, and my code worked on a developer tool

  So, please try the following code:

  .entry-hero .post-thumbnail {
      background: #FFC0CB none repeat scroll 0% 0% !important;
  }

  does it work?

  Wooohoow! It worked!:D

  I did change the color to white since I ended up liking that better than the pink one.

  You made my day! Thanks so much!
