Hi
I would like to have one background color on the front page, and a different one when on the profile page, the section with the details, Base, Myself summary a.s.o., but in settings this is the same background color.
Is there a file that control this section, so it’s possible to change it via CSS ?
All the best
CarstenHi, You should add CSS rules to style elements in page. You can inspect your page using Chrome browser or in Firefox with Firebug extension

@ SeventhQueen we do our best to have super happy customers. Thanks for being our customer.I’m not sure where you want me to make this addition ?
Firebug tells me that it’s a #main section (the main background of the site), but where does the page come from with the profile details ?
This is what i’ve bin asking for several times now, documentation on where to find things and where to edit what, what controls what in this theme ?
If you need to style different elements individually that is outside the scope of Theme options – Styling options you need to know some CSS and HTML so you can go deeper in customizations.
Doing custom work is outside the scope of this support forum and you should hire a web developer to help you with any custom changes you need. I am sure you understand this.
We gave you a link to WordPress hierarchy but this is not related to that and it is only a matter of styling based on different body tag classes and other specific elements you want to customize

It looks like we’re talking on different frequencies here.
First thing, you need to up front give clear instructions on what is supported and not here, cause i have read through a lot of threads, and in some cases it involves a great deal of customisation with a fair part of code too. In some cases just the tiniest question, the easiest to answer, you tell them to hire a developer.
Why is there such a big difference in the support given to different people, it is in no way possible to figure out what can be asked, and answered, here ?
Please draw a clear line, thank you.
And back to the documentation – no, this theme does not just work the WordPress way, you have different style sheets hidden in different places, you have some custom Buddypress php files too. Three to four plugins. Then there’s the Framework, that’s another story. On top of that there some Admin settings including styling and layout in the dashboard.
I have tried overwriting some of them through style.css without any luck. And then there’s the pages, the files that builds the entire theme/site, again, not standard WordPress, some of them are put i different folders that only the them/framework knows.
Here me out here, i don’t say that it shouldn’t be that way, i say i want the documentation that tells me how it is put together.
Okay, then there’s the Admin part, many things have settings placed more than one place, some here, some there, e.g. Buddypress, i have some settings under Sweet Date, then under User/Profile fields, and also under Settings/Buddypress.
I know some one made a video showing some of the setup of the theme. but that is not enough, and as i see it, if you wanna do it the best way and not have to answer so many question on where to find and edit this and that, get the Admin part structured, put things in one place, make a guide that tells everyone where to find and edit the basic things – a walk-through to setup the site.
One question on my own, what is it with the shortcodes, why isn’t there a list ?
Yes in the documentation there is some of them, what about the rest, I know there’s more in shortcodes.php ?
Bottom line, I just wanna know how this works, what i paid for e.g. what does support cover, draw a clear line and follow that, cause as i wrote, some gets customisation and some don’t ?
Hi Boblebad,
We would love to give everyone help with the customizations but what isn’t always possible. This support forum is to resolve any issues and bugs that you may find and also to guide you on the right track to get you where you wanna.The forum is not to provide custom work. We do give snippets of code that we find useful and other styling etc.
We understand what you are saying and are working on a more detailed documentation that will be available online. If you are not familiarized with WordPress some things might not look so clear to you.
You paid for the theme which has hundreds of hours of work. Support if optional and not imposed by Themeforest but we chose to help our customers.
Your request is very vague:
“I would like to have one background color on the front page, and a different one when on the profile page, the section with the details, Base, Myself summary a.s.o., but in settings this is the same background color.”From what I understood you wanted different backgrounds which has nothing to do with theme structure or any other thing, it only has to do with some added CSS code and just inspect your elements in the browser and add the code. This is if you have HTML/CSS knowledge.

To take my question first, yes, it’s about CSS, and i know some about that too, as i do of WordPress, but as i wrote, when using Firebug the shown CSS is the right one, but some of it i can overwrite, and some i can’t cause in some weird way it looks like it’s overwritten by the settings in the dashboard.
And again, we’re talking on different frequencies, to me it’s a very clear question, one color in this place and another color in that place – and the one setting in the dashboard controls both.
That’s one part of this question, the other one was what controls/makes that specific page where the profile details is displayed, cause if i need to make a new class to get this working, i need to know where to use it, and that’s not clear to me, cause you have Buddypress involved too, and i don’t know when i need to look where.
Shortcodes, you say the have to be accessed through the little pinkie-thing, but in more threads you give out code for them and where to put them in the php. For myself, i love toggle, that’s one i would like to be able to use where i like, and i could probably find more.
So when you are giving out the codes to some of the shortcodes and where to place them, why not make a complete list showing what does what ?
Regarding the documentation, i’ll be looking forward to that 🙂
Can i suggest that you in that also provides the structure, i can see that i’m not the only one asking question that has to do with that, e.g. if one wants to make changes in a part that belongs to Buddypress, how can this be safe-placed under the child theme folder, so it doesn’t get overwritten when updating the theme ?
For me it’s okay if you can’t give support for customization, but tell it up-front so everyone knows.
But as you wrote, you would like to do it when time allows it, then make a forum for it, a BIG sticker at the top telling everyone that these questions only gets supported from the crew when they have the time, and then ask that we as users to help each others in that particular forum too ?
You should take a look at how the Genesis crew are handling this, it works 🙂
And just to let you know, i’m well aware of making a theme like this takes many hours, the only thing to me that was unclear, was what support covered – and as i can see, it covers what time lets it cover 😉
And for the record, i think it’s a great theme – my question is only regarding how the different parts of it work together and where to find and edit what 🙂
Try overriding your CSS rules in Sweetdate – Styling options – Quick CSS box or adding them in sweetdate-child/style.css. If they aren’t overriding the defined styles try adding !important to the css rule, eq: .my-class {color: #cccccc !important;}
Everything related to displaying Buddypress profiles in found in sweetdate/members/single. home.php is the main template where all others are parts or different sections. sweetdate\members\single\member-header.php and sweetdate\page-parts\buddypress-profile-header.phpand takes care of the top profile sectionOh it seems that we omitted to add the toggle shortcode to the generator. Anyway those should be all the shortcodes but we will add a section in the documentation with all shortcode attributes
toggle example:
[kleo_toggle opened = ‘no|yes’ icon = ‘heart’ title = ‘Title’ class =”]Content … [/kleo_toggle]Icons: http://fontawesome.io/3.2.1/cheatsheet/
We will write for anyone that haven’t read it on Themeforest, will read it here that customizations are not provided as part of this support forum.
Thanks

@ SeventhQueen we do our best to have super happy customers. Thanks for being our customer.hi @boblebad – i’m a little late on this thread, but thought this could be of help to you or anyone else reading this. i had to do something similar. i just wanted my About page to have a certain background color while the other pages do not. I had to find the page id by setting my permalinks temporarily to default and then use this for my code:
.page-id-1348 #main {
background-color: #e0f0fc;
}my About page id as you can see is 1348. You can follow this example to change the background of individual pages.
