 * Hey there pavlosp,
 * How are you doing today?
 * You should be able to upload your background image in your admin panel in Appearance
   >> Customize >> Background Image [http://screencast.com/t/N4wHz8c9Pw](http://screencast.com/t/N4wHz8c9Pw).
 * Hope this helps 🙂
 * Cheers,

   your demo. My background is not focused at the center, seems to be focused on
   top, to be more specific, my background i see the top branches while your demo
   i see the road 🙂

 * Hey there pavlosp,
 * Sorry for the late response.
 * I’m not representing theme authors and a theme preview is not displaying background
   image for me so I’m not sure which image is that. Could you please post link 
   to your site so I can take a look? Generally this is something that should be
   possible to fix with some custom CSS.
 * Looking forward for your response 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Bojan

 * Hey again pavlosp,
 * Thank you for the site link 🙂
 * Could you please try adding the following CSS code in the style.css file of your
   [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or add it in your site
   using the following plugin:
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css)
 *     ```
       body.custom-background {
       background-position: center;
       }
       ```
   
 * This should display your background not focusing on the top part.
 * Please let me know if this helps 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Bojan

 * Hey again pavlosp,
 * Sorry to hear the code didn’t work. Upon checking your site I couldn’t see the
   code added there, did you remove it?
 * You could try adding this instead:
 *     ```
       body.custom-background {
       background-position: center !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Normally I wouldn’t suggest the use of the !important declaration. However, it
   can sometimes be a necessary evil when over-writing existing styles. You can 
   find more info on the use of important declaration here:
 * [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity#The_!important_exception](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity#The_!important_exception)
 * Hope this helps 🙂

 * Hey again pavlosp,
 * I’m not being able to see the code added when inspecting your site. I’ve checked
   the theme and after adding the following code in Appearance >> CV Card Options
   >> General Settings >> CSS Code [http://screencast.com/t/uwgVhtwJYHC](http://screencast.com/t/uwgVhtwJYHC)
   everything worked:
 *     ```
       body.custom-background {
       background-position: center !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Please try adding the code there. If this for any reason doesn’t work could you
   please keep the code there so I can check it out when inspecting your site.
 * Hope this helps 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Bojan

 * Hey again pavlosp,
 * I’ve checked your site and it appears that the code is working, this is what 
   I’m seeing there [http://screencast.com/t/mHbgok5csp](http://screencast.com/t/mHbgok5csp).
 * I guess this is just a caching issue. Could you please make sure that you clear
   browser cache before checking for changes?
 * Hope this helps 🙂
