Avoid having background image load on pages

Resolved koedel

I love the home page of this theme, but most of my pages need a white background rather than the dramatic image that’s the background of the home page. Is there a simple way to prevent the background image from loading on pages? With all of the page templates, I get a flash of the background image as the page is loading before it fills in with the white background. I would like to keep the navigation bar on the pages. I know I probably need to make a custom page template, but I don’t know how to override having the background image load and still keep the navigation bar.
I wish I had studied web design in school, but there was no internet when I was in school 🙂

Can I add an “if is home” type of filter to this part of the functions.php? Help with the code would be much appreciated.

// Setup the WordPress core custom background feature.

add_theme_support(‘custom-background’, apply_filters(‘zerif_custom_background_args’, array(

‘default-color’ => ‘ffffff’,

‘default-image’ => get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . “/images/bg.jpg”,

)));

This works!!

// Setup the WordPress core custom background feature.
is_front_page(
add_theme_support(‘custom-background’, apply_filters(‘zerif_custom_background_args’, array(

‘default-color’ => ‘ffffff’,

‘default-image’ => get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . “/images/bg.jpg”,

))));

Hi,

It’s a small issue with the way stylesheet loads, and I’ve alert our team about this issue. We will try to release an update soon with this fix. 🙂

I was able to do a work around by installing a plugin that controls backgrounds. I’ve forgotten the name of it, but a search will find one. I’m using a different theme now. Good luck!

If so, can you please give us a link to your site to see the problem?

Thank you,

I have used the following code in functions.php and it seems to be working well –

add_theme_support(‘custom-background’, apply_filters(‘zerif_custom_background_args’, array(

‘default-color’ => ‘ffffff’,

‘default-image’ => get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . “/images/bg.jpg”,

‘wp-head-callback’ => ‘check_if_landing_page’

)));

function check_if_landing_page(){

if ( is_front_page() )
{
_custom_background_cb();
}
}

Hi Navin,

What version are you using? I see that you use a child theme. Is it possible that you did some changes in the child theme, that interferes with Zerif Lite?
