  I’m trying to set the page back color to be transparent so that the background image will be the background for the whole webpage.

  I’ve tried various combinations of the following css code. What am I doing wrong?

  /*
  body {
  background-color: green;
  }

  #content {
  background-color: transparent!important;
  background: url(images/vertical-line.jpg) top right repeat-y;
  line-height: 1.4em;
  }

  .page #wrapper {
  background-color: green;
  }

  body {
  font-size: .8em;
  color: green;
  background-color: navy;
  }

  page {
  background: navy;
  }
  */
  body {
  font: 80%/1.5 arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
  color: white;
  background-color: #0084C7;
  background-image: url(‘background-brownpaper.jpg’);
  }

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

  @fordrm
  That’s not a free hosted WordPress.com blog and the version of the theme we have here is adapted to run on our software not on WordPress.org installs. You need to post to http://wordpress.org/support/ You can’t get themes specific CSS editing assistance here at WordPress.com for a WordPress.org theme.

  Thanks… if anyone else is looking how to do it for WordPress.org sites, here it is:

  .site {
  opacity: .91;
  }

  I’m sorry I created some confusion with where to post. Honestly I’m still a bit confused about where I should be posting.

  houstonweaver I did get the answer you posted and it worked. It does exactly what I was looking for. In case anyone else is looking at this. It was

  #page {
  background: transparent;
  }

  Thank-you very much houston

  Understand being confused. It took me a while to figure out that I could see my previous posts by clicking my name on the upper right, so if I didn’t subscribe to the topic or click to inform me at the bottom of the post, I never knew if I got an answer or where my post was. :-))

  Glad that answer worked for you.
