    Hello,
    I’m trying to create a colored box (text holder) and have been unsuccessful through the text editor. I can change the background of the text only, but not the text box as a whole. Can you let me know if I’m going about this wrong? I’m sure it’s pretty simple yet I can’t get it and I’m clearly not skilled with CSS.

    Thank you,
    Shelley

    Hi sgraner!

    Please turn on custom CSS field for ALB elements ( http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/turn-on-custom-css-field-for-all-alb-elements/ ) and give your text block element a custom CSS class and then add following code to Quick CSS in Enfold theme options under General Styling tab

    .avia_texblock.your-custom-class { background-color: red; padding: 10px; }

    Best regards,
    Yigit

    Thanks for the reply, Yigit. I’m a little leery of adding code to the functions.php file because it caused some problems on a prior site and I don’t want to risk it. I’m not comfortable with code. I’ll just live without the box. Thank you, anyway :-)

    Hey!

    Not at all!
    If you do not mind creating a temporary admin login and posting it here privately, we can add the code to functions.php file for you :)

    Cheers!

    That’s very kind of you, thank you. If it were for something I really needed, I’d do it, but I can live without a colored box. I just thought it would be a simple line of code I could include within the text box like a font color change.

    Hey!

    It is actually quite simple. Just review the documentation on how to add a custom css class then add your own css modifications. You can set the post here as a private reply if you’re uncomfortable handing out your login credentials. We’ll create an example.

    Cheers!
