 * Using the Spacious theme, I have added a background image which is working fine,
   but now the main content part of the page is white. Is there a way to add a background
   image to this white space?

 * Hi there!
 * You can use this to display a background image in the content area:
 *     ```
       #main {
         background-image: url("http://www.rustanddustrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/white-wood-hd-small.jpg");
       }
       ```
   
 * Which would give this result : [Screenshot](http://postimg.org/image/pep38d4pj/)
 * I hope that helps!

 * That is great, thanks. But what about the white space that is still at the top
   of the page where the header image is located? Is there a way add an image there?
 * Thanks…

 * Yes, you can add a background image in the header section.
 * First you’ll need to create a transparent header logo. Currently it is white 
   so nothing that is behind it will show up.

 * Please help me – I love this theme, but I want to place a background image (tiled
   paper texture) in the content area of the entire site, including the header. 
   This morning I woke up thinking that maybe it has something to do with the skin…
 * Right now the site is on a development server, the url is:
 * [http://caitgroup.com/devolivetree](http://caitgroup.com/devolivetree)
 * I have tried the following, but nothing is working:
 * #page {background-color: transparent !important; }
    /* Masthead Background Image
   Cover
 * #page {background-color: transparent !important; }
 * #content {
    background-image: url(“http://caitgroup.com/devolivetree/wp-content/
   uploads/2016/10/paper-texture-pattern-235×235.jpg”); background-repeat: repeat;
   background-position: center top;
 * #main {
    background-image: url(“http://caitgroup.com/devolivetree/wp-content/
   uploads/2016/10/paper-texture-pattern-235×235.jpg”) !important; background-repeat:
   repeat; background-position: center top; }
