 * Hi, I would like to ask how can I add widgets to the footer-site and also a backround?
   Thanks

 * Hey there angelovska,
 * How are you doing today?
 * If your theme doesn’t have option to add background color to your footer this
   is something that we could do with some custom CSS, I’ve checked the theme demo
   and you should be able to easily change background color of the footer with some
   custom CSS.
 * To do that please try adding the following CSS code in the style.css file of 
   your [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or if your theme 
   doesn’t have custom CSS tab add it in your site using the following plugin:
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css)
 *     ```
       .footer-widgets {
           background-color: #252525;
       }
       ```
   
 * Replace the color hex value to display another color. You can use sites similar
   to this one to get hex value for the color of your choice: [http://www.color-hex.com/](http://www.color-hex.com/)
 * Hope this helps 🙂
 * Cheers,
    Bojan

 * Hi, thanks for your response. 😀 I have a child theme and I did this. But this
   changes the footer where the widgets go. I want to change the site-footer. Actually
   I want only one footer, and I want a background picture. I tried with adding 
   a backround picture on site-footer in my style.css file, but it didn’t change
   anything. [Example footer](http://demo.thimpress.com/?item=resca)

 * Hey again,
 * Oh I see what you mean, well you can also add background image to an element 
   with CSS, to do that you can try adding the following:
 *     ```
       footer#colophon {
           background: url(your_image_URL);
       }
       ```
   
 * Replace the dummy URL with the actual image URL and the image will be displayed
   instead of a color for that part of the footer.
 * Cheers,
    Bojan

 * It just goes white. 🙁 I also tried with background-image, it doesn’t change.
   Also how can I make it bigger? Thanks again

 * Hello there,
 * Make sure you put an absolute path of your image background, i.e. [http://yoursite.com/path/to/your/image.jpg](http://yoursite.com/path/to/your/image.jpg).
 * Regards,
    Kharis

 * Hey angelovska,
 * In regards to the image not being displayed what [@kharis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kharis/)
   mentioned is most likely the case, you can copy the URL from the image page in
   media library [http://screencast.com/t/caM2f9Ch](http://screencast.com/t/caM2f9Ch).
 * As for making it bigger we can also do that with some custom CSS so can you please
   post link to your site so I can take a look?
 * Cheers,
    Bojan
