  I’m trying to create a color bar across my entire WordPress page behind a specific image block. Currently, I’ve only succeeded in changing the background color of the entire page. The link to the page is here https://madisonsfootsteps.com/claim-freebie/ and I’m trying to only have the purple extend to right underneath the ‘download here’ button. Does anyone know any custom CSS to make this happen?

  Hi,

  I’m sorry, we can’t offer support for self-hosted sites on the WordPress.com forums.

  You may want to contact your theme provider for support in this situation: https://support.pipdig.co/

  If that isn’t possible the WordPress.org forums are a good place to ask for help with custom CSS rules:

  Alternatively, and I’m not sure if this will work with your theme, you could try to do something similar using a “Group block” with the Full width option and a custom background color set in the sidebar. The group block can hold image blocks nested inside.

  You can find a guide on the Group block here:
