# Change default home background

 * Hi! I just recently downloaded Hestia as my theme and am wondering how to get
   rid of the city background that currently exists in the first/body block and 
   contact block? I’ve looked under Customize-Background but there is no image uploaded,
   and it’s not uploaded into the “home” page’s settings.
 * The city background seems to have been a default with the theme.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fchange-default-home-background%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@dianalo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dianalo/)
 * Thank you for using Hestia theme.
 * 1. In order to change the city background image that appears in the content blocks,
   you need to add a featured image([https://prnt.sc/rz0cx4](https://prnt.sc/rz0cx4))
   to your homepage.
 * 2. Contact form section also has a background image option([https://prnt.sc/rz0dcv](https://prnt.sc/rz0dcv));
   here you can add an image that you want to show in the contact section.
 * Hope it helps.
