jacibwill Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hello! I am a newbie with a couple of questions. Can you please tell me if you can change the background color on the free default theme. I am looking for the global css and have had no luck in finding it. Can someone please help! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulito Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Good morning Either via cpanel or ftp go to: public_html/your theme/css/global.css And at around line 57 you will see: /* ************************************************************************************************ generic style ************************************************************************************************ */ body{ font:normal 11px/14px Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; color:#000; background: #fff; Change #fff to what ever colour you require Hope this helps Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacibwill Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Can you please tell me where the ftb is found? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 FTP is an service, you need to use some software to connect to your hosting. then you will be able to download file and apply changes there. you can also check your webhosting control panel, usually there is something to manage the files (files manager etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacibwill Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Trying to make the change under the cpanel....but it is not saving. I will do all the steps...save...but when I go back and check...the changes are not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulito Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Google morning Have you tried: Back office 》Prefences 》Force Compile ON / Cache OFF This may help Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 that's right it looks like problem is related to the Force Compilation. But i've got one question. when you open file once again, new code appears there? Or it disappears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulito Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Sorry, I told you wrongly It Is: Back Office > Advanced Parameters > Performance > Template Cache (Force Compilation) > Cache (X) > click Save Sorry again Hope this helps Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
