Comic easel and Salient theme

I also had a question about the background. currently the BG is white. is there a way to change the BG to another color or add a BG image?

I was able to get the plugin to work but it is posting the page twice (one above the other).

Ok. I don’t seem to have an index.php file.

i added it to the single.php and i’ve made it a lot worse. is there a particular place that is best for placing the <?php do_action(‘comic-area’); ?> ?

here is the Single.php code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php 

$bg = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_header_bg', true);
$bg_color = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_nectar_header_bg_color', true);

if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post();

	nectar_page_header($post->ID); 

endwhile; endif;

?>

<div class="container-wrap">

	<div class="container main-content">
		<?php do_action('comic-area'); ?>
		<?php if(get_post_format() != 'quote' && get_post_format() != 'status' && get_post_format() != 'aside') { ?>

			<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post();

			    if(empty($bg) && empty($bg_color)) { ?>

					<div class="row heading-title">
						<div class="col span_12 section-title blog-title">
