 * Hello raindropzs,
 * Maybe it has something to do with CSS priority and you have to overwrite rules.
   Are you using custom CSS?
    Try this:
 *     ```
       div#widget-area {
           background-image:url(http://www.baracca.ch/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/holzig.jpg);
       }
       ```

 * Can i just put this in the custom css field? without deleting anything from the
   style.css file?
 * Thx for your reply!

 * Yes. With “overwrite” I mean the “div#widget-area” overrules the other one.

 * There is a function includes where i can set the Background color.. and the defined
   color is the background at the moment, do you think this setting blocks my image?
