I'm trying to add a coloured background to h2 headers, like this.

here's an example url

The css, I think is as follows. I added this code to Additional CSS box (remove .markdown-article) but no luck. Any ideas ?

.markdown-article h2:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
left: 0;
bottom: -2px;
height: 14px;
--bg-opacity: 1;
background-color: #fed7e2;
background-color: rgba(254,215,226,var(--bg-opacity));
}

Hi there,

can you share a link to your site where you're trying to add this CSS?

Try this CSS method:

.entry-content h2 {
  display: inline-block;  
  box-shadow: inset 0 -17px 0 0 rgba(254,215,226,1);
}

You can adjust the -17px value to change the background color height.

brilliant David, really appreciated :)

You're welcome
