Sidebar showing body background using separate containers

Sidebar showing body background using separate containers. Want sidebar to show same color as widget background. Does that make sense?
Hi there,
Your site is under maintenance mode. Can you disable it for now?
Hmm, shouldn't be. Cleared cache, maybe that will help. Did I send you the correct site? Working on two at the moment. Cut and past error maybe. :) https://toledocourtreporter.com/
Any ideas?
Thanks
Not sure what you mean?
The sidebar isn't showing the body background to me: https://s33.postimg.org/wxazk213j/2017-12-18_1755.png
You can change that color in Customizer > Colors > Sidebar widgets if that helps.
Hi Leo, thanks for getting back to me. I am attaching a screenshot for you to see. I don't think I made myself clear. [URL=http://s41.photobucket.com/user/Nevis1/media/sidebar.jpg.html][IMG]http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e267/Nevis1/sidebar.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I am talking about the area in red showing the black background.
Thanks
That case you should be using one container instead of separate containers.
That is what I thought you might say.
I was hoping to have a continuous light gray section all the way down the right hand side of the page. I am sure it could be done with CCS, but I m not THAT good with CSS.
Thanks
You could try doing something like this:
.site-content {
display: flex;
}
.sidebar {
background: #f5f5f5;
}
Works Great! Have a look see.
Thanks for this. I can see using this for more than one site. I like the look of the "stand-alone" section going down one side of the page. :)
Cheers!
Glad I could help! :)
