 * Hello everyone,
    unfortunately I have another problem. I found a great gallery
   on another website. I also tried to recreate them on my website. Unfortunately,
   this did not work. The address of the page from which I would like to copy it
   is _[ redundant link removed ]_. If I enter this code:
 *     ```
       <div class="item" style="background-image:url(http://philippfalkenhagen.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Reh-im-Mohnfeld.jpg); width: 100%; height: 90vh; background-position: center center; background-size: cover; z-index: 0;">
       					<div class="container">
       					<div class="format-standard">
   
       					</div>	
       				</div>	
       			</div>
       ```
   
 * It works about, but only on the start page, which helps me a little. Although
   the picture does not cover the entire page. Can someone help me?
 * Kind regards

 * Looks OK to me (in Chrome). Image goes out to the very edges of the window. The
   max. width I can test to is only 1616px, which is a little wider than the source
   image, so the “cover” style rule is working correctly. Maybe your browser is 
   using stale CSS data? Browsers tend to aggressively cache CSS. Try clearing your
   browser cache before loading your page.
 * The reason it’s only on the front page is a different template is used on front
   pages than other pages. You’d need to copy the related front page template code
   into other templates in order to have the same feature on other pages. The problem
   with modifying templates in your case is your Certify theme is a child theme,
   which will override any changes when it is updated. We usually create our own
   child theme to protect our custom work, but only one child theme slot is available
   and it’s already taken up by Certify.
 * You are left with needing to serve templates from a plugin, which is not what
   plugins are supposed to do. It’s possible, but what is required to do so is rather
   hacky.
