Look for this in your /Portals/_default/skins/nvquicktheme-rvcw.org/css/components/_helpers.scss:

    &[class*="-light-grey"] {
        // background-color: $light-grey;
        color: $font-color;
    }

See the // before the background color. Try that and refresh the cache of your browser.

Forum admin: I tried to add code again through the normal editor.

He Don,

What Mariette pointed out is what causes the background colour.

So, there are several ways to fix this.

1. Remove the class bg-light-grey in the footer. Look for a footer.ascx file (folder partials)

2. Change the value of the class in the helpers.scss to transparent

If you can not get there for some reason (like nog FTP access and no way to minify/build the theme) you can work around it via

3. the custom css

Add the code

 @johnhenley I pasted the images directly in the wysiwyg editor but that fails. This used to work (which save quite  bit of time :-) ) 
Would you be so kind to take a look at that?

Tycho, I share your frustration (sometimes works and other times it doesn't). The next Forums release will fix that by bypassing the CK editor's image upload. Stay tuned.

Holy mackerel, I think I got rid of the grey bar, using the Custom CSS!  Check it out at pvcw.net.  Thanks, everyone!  Don

Great to read. Have a great day and come back anytime :-)
