I am trying to make the background colour #000000 for a portfolio page (this one! http://www.askerrobertson.com.au/projects/) I am not really sure how to go about this, is there some css code I need to change or is there an option in the theme to change the backgorund?
You can easily add Backgrounds , change color etc using the Visual Composer and clicking on the 'Edit Row' button which will open up a modal where you can change the values.
I don't seem to have the visual composer though. I'm thinking it is in an update?
I have the current version of wordpress 3.8.1 but I am not sure if I have the current version of salienthow do I check this or does it update automatically?
You can update by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. I recommend using FTP, but you can use the WP dashboard if you prefer. You won't lose any of your content or theme settings so don't worry about that if you were :)
You are on version 2.0 we have recently release version 3.15. Please see the user-guide on more info on how to update. Link: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient.pdf
Success! Thanks for persevering with my limited wp skill set Tahir!
So I tried adding a row as you recommended but it doesn't seem to be working, the content for the page is all coming from the projects posts and is not set into the page with the visual composer.

Can I set it using css or something?
