 * Good day!
 * I at some point changed the image for by background and cannot get it to change
   back to default. Here are steps I have tried:
    – Changing theme – Removing image
   from my Media
 * I’m at a loss. Not much of a programmer, so I’m not too savvy when it comes to
   CSS or Java. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-change-background-image-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You have your site hidden with a coming soon plugin. Have you looked under the
   customizer options to see if there is an option to change the background. Also,
   please give the name of the theme you are using.

 * I manually entered the website coming soon message, not aware of any plug ins
   displaying this text.
 * I am currently using Rivington, however it does not matter what theme I use, 
   it always defaults to this background.
 * Thanks!
