 * Hello there,
 * Just wondering if it’s possible to use an image url as the background of the 
   row or column instead of having to select one using the media picker. Has anyone
   had a work around for this?
 * Kindly advise, thanks.

 * Hey [@kendelldbest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kendelldbest/),
 * Thanks for posting!
 * That’s currently possible unfortunately. Any reason why you’d want to store the
   image on a different server though? Background images are usually small in size
   so they don’t really cause any kind of issues when stored locally to the site.
 * If you really need to use an external image, you’ll have to use custom CSS. You
   can add classes or IDs to the rows/columns/modules so you can target them specifically.
   You can check the article below for more info. 🙂

 * Hope this helps!
