  Hi everyone.

  I’m trying to change the background color of the text widgets included in the Karuna theme. I know how to get to the widget menu in the customizer, but I have no idea how to change what I want.

  I’m brand new to WordPress, so if you guys could dumb down your help as much as possible that would be great.

  Thank you!

  I’m not seeing any text widgets. The following will remove the slight grayish cast on all widgets.

  .widget-area .widget {
      background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
  }

  If you only wish to remove the grayish cast on text widgets then the following would do it.

  .widget-area .widget_text {
      background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
  }

  If you wish to add a different color, you can replace the
  rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)
  in the above example CSS rules with a hex color code, such as
  #cc0000

  I’d deleted the widgets because the colors contrasted badly with the BG colors that I’ve already picked. Thank you for your help! It doesn’t look like I can add the code that would change the widget color with the plan that I have (I’m assuming I need the CSS editor? maybe that’s wrong?), but thank you for helping!

  Ah yes, that is true. The Personal Plan does not include Custom CSS.
