Hi David,
Now working on site design. Read Alessandra’s post since I’m trying to do something similar, only behind 2 columns. I tried the CSS you provided, changing “red” to “green” and put it in the 2 places you suggested … but nothing happened.
I’m experimenting with our light green as a band of color behind the initial 2 columns (heading text and image placeholder).
We use the SiteOrigin CSS plugin, if that’s important. I tried your CSS in Customizer location and in WordPress “Custom CSS” location, but neither seemed to work.
Any ideas? I’ll keep trying until you have time to reply (it’s Saturday after all) and post back any progress.
Thanks for any guidance,
Linda
PS – is there a way to specify the green hex color?
