Need Help

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I've been searching the WP forums and Studiopress about changing the background color of the whole site. The tutorials they provide all change the background of the posts and sidebar container, but not the website background (the one seen at the back and at the sides).

I wish to maintain the post containers and sidebar backgrounds as white, but I want the entire background as well as the header background as gray (#ededed). I can't find header background as well, I tried following tutorials but they don't work.

I hope I'm making sense :)

Anyway, I tried changing the "wrap { " background color but it affected the post and sidebar container. I am new to html so I hope someone could help me.

Thanks in advance.
