Why did our website's background color change without our touching it?

  One day a volunteer visited the site only to find that the background color changed from white to black. Only two people have access to the log in information and neither of them had touched the site for quite some time. We were able to adjust the CSS to change the background back to white but now the navigation bar is white also. It used to be black when the background was white. When we fixed the background in the CSS, the nav bar also turned white as well.

  We don’t understand how or why the colors changed and we also would like to know the CSS to change the nav bar back to black, if we could please.

  Thank you!

  Hi there,

  I’m not sure what happened, but you can change the color of the background by going to Appearance > Background in your Dashboard. It is currently set to white.

  I went through the CSS Revisions and found that the most recent change was made to the menu bar on October 29th:
