How to change the main background color in WallPress?

I have the sidebar and header under control, but can’t get the main body background to change with this in the style.css:
/**body/
body{
background: #…;
}

Any suggestion for an alternative way?
Also, is there a way for my blog posts to be fluid width with NO right sidebar? I’ve seen it done before so I can’t imagine it would look too funky..? I just want the left sidebar and the fluid-width post content stretching all the way across, rather than a quarter/half like it does now…

I am really amazed at this theme and this QnA plugin! Thanks so much for any help.

Hi Thomas,
If you want to change the background color of Wallpress theme. Please add the following code to the style.css file.

 body {
    background: #…;
}

Regarding your blog posts to be fluid with widthout right sidebar, you can add the following code to the style.css file.

 #sidebar-secondary {
     display: none;
}
 #content {
     max-width: 100%;
}

Hope this helps!

Thank you, that seems to have worked everywhere except on my bbPress page – any idea why that would be? It’s not displaying the forums correctly all the way across.. http://ne1up.com/live shows what I’m talking about.

Thank you so much for your time. Amazing I couldn’t figure out that body background. THANK YOU.
