 * Hi,
    I have created a child theme for accesspress and would like to ask how can
   I add a background image to just the outer area of the content page? It shouldn’t
   include the header and footer. My image is a tile for a polka dot bg.
 * My website is [http://www.cheshireimpressions.co.uk](http://www.cheshireimpressions.co.uk)
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hello,
 * First of all upload the photo in your media library then add these codes in your
   Custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .site-content {
           background-image: url("link to the image");
       }
       .content-area {
           background-color: #eee;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps you.
 * Thank you.
