Background color not changing

[ocean11]

Hi, 

I'm using prestashop 1.5.6.1 and tried changing the background color to #3838AA in the global.css file under the body { } section. However, when refreshing my site, it didn't seem to change the background color. I have tried force compile on and disable cache on performance section and also clear smarty cache. my site is www.amazinggracebookshop.com but didn't seem to work. Much appreciate any help or pointer to the right direction.

Thanks.

Hello ocean11

 change css on  global.css

line no 53:

body{
    font:normal 11px/14px Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
    color:#222;
    background:#3838AA;
}

Er.Ritesh, thanks. I did the change there as you said. But didn't seem to change the background color even after I cleared browser cache and did a hard refresh in the browser. When I check the source code of my website, it seem the background tag in the css is still showing the old color code #FFF instead of the new #3838AA. Any idea?

color: #222;
background: #fff;
}

vekia, thanks. I re-checked the global.css file in /themes/default/css folder, and it has the following code below i.e. I tried changing the background color to #3838AB. But it doesn't reflect on the website as you mentioned also. It seems changes in the global.css file doesn't have any effect. Any help is much appreciated.

where you want to change background? whole website or only for blocks?

[ocean11]

CartExpert, I tried editing it from the cpanel file manager, nothing change. So I tried download the global.css file and make the change in notepad and upload, again nothing change.

 

Vekia, I'm trying to change the background color of the homepage (whole website i guess). 

Could it be issue with the hosting provider e.g. their system cookie not refreshing (just a thought)?

[vekia]

it's hard to say without more informations about host and without access to your store (now it's under maintenance mode)

Hi.

 

It could be a permission related thing and you might not be allowed to edit the file.

 

You should contact your hosting company.

CartExpert & Vekia, Thanks for your help. I have contacted the hosting provider to reset the prestashop installation which is in progress. Once done, I will try changing the background color again....
