Title: Background image Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Background image * Resolved [Abe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abu117/) * (@abu117) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/) * Hi, * When I look at the zerif-lite demo site, the background image fills the whole width of my screen. However, when I upload any image at the recommended size ( 2048 x 1365) it does not span the width of my site. * Please see [http://fixcontracting.com/](http://fixcontracting.com/) * Thanks for any help. * Abe Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Alexandra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexandrastan001/) * (@alexandrastan001) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/#post-6567894) * Hello Abe, * I have checked and it looks like you managed to do it. * Best regards, Alexandra * Thread Starter [Abe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abu117/) * (@abu117) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/#post-6567896) * No, not really – I am on a 27″ iMac and it does NOT fill my entire screen (resolution: 2560 X 1440) – however your zerif-lite demo shows the image extended to all edges of my screen. * [k3web](https://wordpress.org/support/users/k3web/) * (@k3web) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/#post-6567902) * I would like some help…. * I have my backgound image but that image is not responsive, when I acess my website( www.k3web.com.br) on the table or mobile for exemple the image dosent have a good fit.

However, if the theme is responsive then shouldn’t the image automatically adjusted to the screen resolution? * [k3web](https://wordpress.org/support/users/k3web/) * (@k3web) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/#post-6567908) * This is my problem…the image is not responsive I have problem with that, when I put in my table for example the image is very big… The template is responsive but the image isnt… I think so. * My image has 1400×740 resolution on a 14.1 and is perfect. * [anjali.doneria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anjalidoneria/) * (@anjalidoneria) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/#post-6567909) * Even I am coming across the similar issue, the background-image being used on my website is of dimensions 2048 X 1365 (the recommended size) for Zerif Lite theme.

I see this issue raised on other forums as well, and they don’t seem to want to reply. Probably easier to just switch to a more responsive site. * [gouravwptech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gouravwptech/) * (@gouravwptech) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/#post-6567916) * Hello [@abe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abe/), * This is how we can see your website at our end : [http://screencast.com/t/vnhCrfvfsEG4](http://screencast.com/t/vnhCrfvfsEG4), If still you are getting please send us screenshot and also do let us know in which browser you are looking your site. * Regards Gourav. * [gouravwptech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gouravwptech/) * (@gouravwptech) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/#post-6567917) * Hello [@anjali](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anjali/).doneria, * Could you please send us your site address and send screenshot. i will check it. * Regards Gourav. * Thread Starter [Abe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abu117/) * (@abu117) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/#post-6567918) * Gourav, * The url of the website is [http://www.fixcontracting.com](http://www.fixcontracting.com) I have uploaded a screenshot here: [http://buwalda.ca/fix.jpg](http://buwalda.ca/fix.jpg)– as you can see from this image, there is a lot of white space to the right and left of the main image. * Now compare the above image from the screenshot of your demo site: [http://buwalda.ca/zerif.jpg](http://buwalda.ca/zerif.jpg) there is **NO** white space to the right or left of the main image. * I am viewing this on a 27″ iMAc with a screen resolution of 2560 x 1440 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Background image’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/zerif-lite/1.8.5.49/screenshot. png) * Zerif Lite * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/zerif-lite/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/zerif-lite/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/zerif-lite/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/zerif-lite/reviews/) ## Tags * ["background-image"](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/background-image/) * [zerif-lite](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/zerif-lite/) * 18 replies * 7 participants * Last reply from: [gouravwptech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gouravwptech/) * Last activity: [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-image-109/page/2/#post-6567923) * Status: resolved
