Change Header Background for Elegant Grunge?
-
Hello!
I just recently changed my blog’s theme to Elegant Grunge and have spent some time customizing it, but I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to change the black background color behind the custom header image. I love the theme, but I’m really not crazy about the black color behind the header. Is it possible to change the color behind the header image to a different one? And could it possibly be the same as my background image?
Thank you so much!

There is no quick or easy way to change this. If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to wordpress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.
Since there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, I recommend that you don’t buy the upgrade unless you have at least moderate understanding of HTML and CSS because you must be prepared to do the work on your own.
If you are considering purchasing the upgrade, you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS. There wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try before you buy.

I’m sorry I meant to post another anoswer but posted the wrong one. There are only 2 Volunteers who occasionally help with CSS editing and they both have jobs. You will have to be very patient while waiting for one of them to sign-in, locate, this thread and offer help. Please be aware that that may take a couple of days or longer.

Hello!
Thank you so much for getting back to me! I should have noted that I HAVE purchased the CSS upgrade, but I’m a little unsure of what I need to change in the customization and was hoping that someone could give me heads up for the actual code that could change this header color. I have some CSS background, but admittedly, it’s not a lot and I would love some pointers on how to change the header color to anything but the black..if it’s possible.
Thank you again for your help!
