go to editor and choose style.css here you’ll find the following code:
/* base : layout
/* ———————————— */
#wrapper { min-width: 1024px; height: 100%; }
.container { padding: 0 20px; }
just add background-image to the .container bit like this:
.container {
padding: 0 20px;
background-image:url(‘url to your image here’);
}
Thanks – the css you suggest adds the background image to the entire background (body) of the site. I just want the custom background image for the header.
Following your information, I did add that bit of css to:
#header .pad { padding-top: 28px; padding-bottom: 30px; background-image: url(“url to my image here”)}
in my child stylesheet and I am getting very close to what I want.
I was making it much too difficult!! Thanks for pushing me in the right direction.

oohh sorry i got that wrong…
I also forgot to say you have to say background-repeat: none;
or else the banner will repeat itself endlessy 🙂

I first of all would like to thank Alexander for this outstanding theme.
I needed less than 24 hours to move everything from my old theme.
Thanks also to Cindy. With her information it had been easy to create the background (header and body) I absolutely wanted.
My child css looks like this for now:
/*
Theme Name: Hueman Child Theme
Theme URI: http://www.silent-gardens.com/blog/wp-content/themes
Description: Hueman Child Theme
Author: rwx-support
Author URI: http://www.silent-gardens.com
Template: hueman
Version: 1.0.0
*/
@import url(“../hueman/style.css”);
/* Put a picture in the header */
/*—————————- */
#header .pad {
padding-top: 28px;
padding-bottom: 30px;
}
#header {
background: url(bamboo-s.jpg);
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 60px; }
If you like to have an idea:

Thank you Waebi, glad it helped you to solve it! :))
Hi,
I am not very familiar with wordpress but managed to set up my site.
My issue is the header is not wide enough as suppose to be, not sure what have I done.
Any assistant please? My site is http://www.nadiasylvester.com
Thanks
Nadia 🙂

Hello,
I’m lucky to find this thread, thank you! I’m not a developer at all but I like to customize a little my blog with tips like this. Here is my blog : http://balisolo.com/
Today, my problem is:
1/ I want a full weight and centered header image (now, it’s just positionned on the left side and it’s not full large, I have no idea why too)
2/ I want a background image on the blog (this image : http://balisolo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/BACKGROUND.png ) + I want this image to be repeated on all the screen.
I have tried to use the code you provided in the style.css sheet but it doesn’t change anything. FYI, I’m not using the “boxed layout”.
I’d gratefull if you could help me (step by step).
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello
you have all taken the Hueman version, not on wordpress.org but well in the author?
http://alxmedia.se/themes/hueman/
More options for the author.
Should never be touched to the theme files, it is necessary to create a child theme or use the Custom CSS of the theme function.
The child theme is available here https://github.com/AlxMedia/hueman-child/archive/master.zip
on the author’s page
Brilliant, thanks so much!
