    I am trying to make the post container for the category called links to be transparent to be on my homepage above the featured post in the main column.

    I don’t have it quite right, can you help me make this work? Here is what I have tried from firebug.

    .t4p-posts-container .posts-container-pagination .post-content-container .category-links .category-1596 {
    background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.5) !important;
    border: 1px solid black !important;
    }

    Site is oregonoptimist

    Thank you,
    Diana

    Hi,

    On your homepage, I viewed the webpage source code and I cannot find any HTML that has class category-links by using the search function of firefox browser.
    I can only find category-news.

    Please provide me a screenshot and annotate the part that you want to make it transparent.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Please find the following code in your custom css, remove it and see if it fixes your issue. This code is persistence and forces white background.

    .post-content-container {
    background-color: #ffffff !important;
    }

    Thanks!

    I did that and it removes all the white backgrounds. That is why I was hoping to isolate only the one category box and change how it renders.

    any other suggestions?

    Hi Denzel……….I have to put that post back in draft mode so please send me a message when you can take a look again and I will put it back up for you.

    Have a nice weekend,

    Hi,

    Since you confirm that removing that code will make all backgrounds transparent, I suggest you do that. Then write custom css for all categories that you want to have a white background. For example, category-news

    .category-news .post-content-container{
    background-color: #ffffff !important;
    }

    Sorry, I do not have a solution to isolate category-links and make it transparent.

    I don’t think we are in the same time zone, it is difficult for me to wait for you to publish that post again. I suggest you hire a developer in your time zone if you require further assistance.

    Thanks!
