  I am using the premium Hive theme in which the background is black – I want it to be white. I am unable to change the color of the background for my blog in the customization section.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi!

  Currently, the background is appearing white on my side as shown here:

  Could you clarify what part of your site you would like to be white?

  Hello!

  I guess what I’m asking is the very edge of the page is black… I want the entire screen to be white, with no black anywhere.

  Thanks for clarifying! This should do the trick:

  body:before, body:after {
  background: white;
  }

  Can you try putting that under Appearance -> Customize -> CSS?

  Perfect! Thanks so much. I don’t know why I couldn’t figure that out. :)
