-- url of the page with the problem -- : bestedernewsletters.com/cart
-- HikaShop version -- : Essential: 2.3.0
-- Joomla version -- :2.5.19
-- PHP version -- : x.x.x
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Error_message

In the System > Configuration of Hika....I choose this color for the background on the categories display.
But in the site, it still shows up white. As a matter of fact, it doesn't matter which color I change it to, it stays white.

That's a default parameter, only used for new menus/modules.
For existing menus/modules, pleas directly edit them via the menu Display>Content menus/modules. You'll find there a similar option which will apply to your current menu/module.

Thank you....

Then what is the purpose for the color selector then? Why is it there if it cannot be used to change the background color?

I'll try what you suggested...

Thanks

I guess I'm not doing the right thing.

Under System > Configuration...I'm on the display tab

And under the Display tab, I have options for
DEFAULT Parameters for Products
DEFAULT Parameters for Categories
DEFAULT Parameters for DIVs

Since the background I want to change from white to another color is when the CATEGORIES are displayed...I suppose I should choose DEFAULT Parameters for Categories

However, when I do that, there is not a color selector to change the color of the category background.

Am I in the right place?

You're not in the right place. These are the default parameters of the configuration. They only apply to new menus and modules. For existing ones, you need to g in the menu Display>Content menus/modules and edit your menus/modules there and you'll see similar options which apply to the current menu/module you're editing.

Thank you

I am in the Display > Content Menus > Categories Listing

Is this the right place? If so....

Where exactly do I tell the system what color I would like for the background of category items? Is it:

Details
Parameters for Categories
Associated Modules Details
Parameters for Products
Parameters for DIV (which is only used in the Business Edition)

Thanks
Pam

Hi,

Yes, that's the place. In the "Parameters for DIV", you should get an option called "Item box background color" that you can use for that.

Yes, thank you....

That changes the background of the PRODUCTS once I click from the category listing to see the products in the category.

What I want is the background for the CATEGORY listing to be changed. I have 5 categories as you see below. It shows a WHITE background. I want the background to be grey. Where can I tell the system to change the category listing background?

Hi,

Thanks to edit the options directly in your categories listing menu/module via the HikaShop menu Display > Views, and change the background color value.
