Try template.css around line 906.


#ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-containerwrap2, #ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-container, #ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-container2 {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;

}

Looking at yor site the change has not been made. The file you are looking for is templates>ja_purity/css/template.css

You need to change the bit I have highlighted in red to whatever colour or background image you need.

Sorry phill but i am a beguinner at this webmaster world , in fact i do like you said to do but nothing changed so i put again like it was before , i dont know if it was at the right location. what i did was go to template manger – select puritty – edit template – then surch for that line and it was like this :

#ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-containerwrap2,
#ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-container,
#ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-container2 {
background: none;

and i do this :
#ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-containerwrap2,
#ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-container,
#ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-container2 {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;

then save and look at the site and still the same

Sorry but where do i put the color that i want to be in the site ?

I think you miss-understand. The code I showed above is how it is now. You need to change the bit in red to your needs for example try as per below and see how it looks


#ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-containerwrap2, #ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-container, #ja-containerwrap-fl #ja-container2 {
background: #F2F2F2

}

You can do some research on how to use the background tag on many sites usche as these.

It is almost ceratinly cache related if it is working on some pages and not on others. If you would like to PM me an admin logon along with details of what pages this does not work on I will take a look for you. Please include a link to this thread in your PM so I can find it easilly.
