 * I like how this theme allows you to put an image as the background, but it is
   only or the bottom half. So my question is how do I change the code on the top
   half of the background to allow me to put an image in there instead of just the
   color option?

 * In the theme’s style.css is this css:
 *     ```
       /* Primary wrappers */
       #page-top-bg {
       	width:100%;
       	height:353px;
       	position:fixed;
       	background-color:#fff;
       	border-top:6px solid #595a67;
       	border-bottom:1px solid #bcbcbc;
       }
       ```
   
 * `
    You can do your background there….but you will also need to adjust the header.
   php file which has this bit of code:
 * `<div id="page-top-bg" style="border-top-color: <?php echo get_theme_mod( 'page_top_border','#
   595A67' ); ?>; border-bottom-color: <?php echo get_theme_mod( 'tophalf_botline','#
   BCBCBC' ); ?>; background-color:<?php echo get_theme_mod( 'tophalf_bg', '#ffffff');?
   >;"></div>`
 * Remove this code part:
 * `style="border-top-color: <?php echo get_theme_mod( 'page_top_border', '#595A67');?
   >; border-bottom-color: <?php echo get_theme_mod( 'tophalf_botline', '#BCBCBC');?
   >; background-color:<?php echo get_theme_mod( 'tophalf_bg', '#ffffff' ); ?>;"
   >`

 * You’re very welcome… however, you may want to consider using a child theme to
   make modifications to core theme files. This way you won’t lose your changes 
   should there be updates to this theme.

 * Hello
 * I am adding on to this post as it is relevant to my query…
 * I would like to keep the top half different to the bottom – however I would like
   to add an image to the top half… I tried the above and took out the php code (
   in the child theme) but this leaves me with no top half and I don’t know how 
   to add the image just for the top?? (I am sorry if this doesn’t make sense, I
   am also sorry if I have posted in the wrong place!)
 * ps. beautiful theme, thank you!

 * [@sitecrafter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sitecrafter/)…thanks for the
   great comment. However, I would recommend you post this as a new support topic
   because this topic has already been set to “Resolved” and I know the moderators
   will catch this as well. Post it as a new one and I will be happy to follow up.
