Design Options and how to adjust widget backgrounds
  • Adam+LippeAdam Lippe February 19

    I know that Magazine Basic no longer offers the Design Options, but I am not sure what code I am supposed to put where. My site is www.regrettablesincerity.com and yesterday there were all sorts of server problems that caused the site to basically melt and revert to the most basic layout. Here is an image of what I want it to look like and the way it looked for three years (under Magazine Basic 2.0, as I was afraid to update it for this very reason): http://imageupload.org/?d=EF0242641 Basically, white backgrounds on the widgets and menus, but a few other options as well.

    I appreciate any help you can offer.

    Updating will always overwrite your changes to the core files. That is why you should create a child theme.

    Go into style.css and make some changes there. The first sidebar is #sidebar. Any changes you want to make to the widget background would require some new CSS:

    #sidebar .side-widget { background: #fff; }
