    I am using simplicity theme and I want to use an image background but when you go to the pages the texts are not readable because of the background. Is there a way to add a background on top of the background? I want to still show the image but at the same time make the texts readable. I am new to wordpress and not a programmer. HELP!

    Would it be possible for you to add a link to the page with the problem?

    If I can see the issue, we can probably get things looking nice for you.

    Thank You,

    Brad

    Try adding this code to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file.

    #content{
   background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
}

    This will set the background color to black with a 60% opacity. You can play around with the value of the last number to get the desired opacity.

    Let me know if you need more help.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Hi Brad, ok that didn’t work (or I just don’t know how to do it) Can I just have the background on the home page and not on the other pages instead? How do I do that? I like the wood look but it’s just not good when there’s text because it’s hard to read.
