Unable to change header bckgnd colour

Hi, I have a trial acct (have a client interested in using Hubspot for their recruitment blog), but I seem unable to change the header bcgnd colour. No matter how many times I change the style colour, it remains #ffffff - can anyone help? Thank you.

Hi @mspinelli how you change the header background will depend on the theme, are you using one of HubSpot’s free themes?

Hello there - Yes, that’s the only option on the trial. Does that mean I
can’t change the header colour? I would have thought that was such a basic
thing. Also, it gives me the option to select another colour. Any
suggestions? Thank you.

@mspinelli if it gives you the option to choose another color and it isn’t working, there is likely a bug.

It is possible to use CSS to make the change, to do this, you would need to be using a child theme, not the one from the marketplace. Do you know if you created a child theme before you started building the site?

No, I didn’t create a child theme. It is such a simple thing. Not sure I can recommend it to my client now. Really appreciate your help, Jennifer.

Hi @mspinelli I’m sorry for the bad news, there are a lot of themes available in the marketplace and all of them have different capabilities. It is possible to find a free theme or paid theme that will allow you to have more control over your theme settings, and without bugs.

I’m happy to demo POWER theme for you if you’d like to see the difference, you can schedule a demo here. I’ve been using HubSpot themes since they were released and am happy to answer questions about using a theme for their blog so you can find one that will work for your clients.
