    I am trying to add a background image to the entire page that will show through any of the site builder elements on the webpage.

    Can you advise me if this is possible and how to go about it?

    Thanks

    Paul

    1) Add the background image to the library and copy the url of the upload.

    2) Then go to your theme’s (or child theme’s) style.css file and at the very end add this code:

    body {
    background: url(“the url that you copied”);
    }

    Hi Paul

    Thanks for reaching out.

    @akinaktansel, thanks for jumping in here, appreciate it.

    So Paul, as @akinaktansel said, we’ll use a snippet like the below:

    /* Site Content */

.site-content {
  background: url('http://imageurlgoeshere.jpg');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
}

    If you’re using a child theme, add it to the style.css file in the child theme. If not, use a plugin like SiteOrigin CSS: https://wordpress.org/plugins/so-css/ and insert the above.

    Go to your Media Library, locate the image you want to use, edit it and copy the URL from the right column meta box. Replace my demo URL:

    http://imageurlgoeshere.jpg

    with yours.

    Hope that helps 🙂
