Hi, refresh theme , background color homepage

Shopify Discussion
,

Topic summary

A user is attempting to change the homepage background color to #f5f5f5 on a Shopify store using the Refresh theme.

Technical Issue:

  • Added custom CSS code in theme.liquid before the closing tag
  • Used conditional logic ({% if request.path == ‘/’ %}) to target only the homepage
  • The condition executes correctly, but the background-color styling on the body element isn’t applying

Current Status:

  • Another user offered to troubleshoot by reviewing the live store (requesting URL and password for storefront access only, not admin credentials)
  • The original poster declined to share store details, preferring a solution without providing access
  • The issue remains unresolved with no alternative solution proposed yet
