Title: Tiling A Background Last modified: September 4, 2016 --- # Tiling A Background * [sazra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sazra/) * (@sazra) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tiling-a-background/) * I have a repeat pattern which I am trying to set as a tiled background. I used the customiser to add the background tile and selected ‘repeat’. It doesn’t repeat, it just sets itself as one big background. I have tried duplicating the image to make it repeated and it still does the same. I can’t seem to find the code for it in the editor. I have worked with repeat backgrounds before but never had this trouble. Please advise.
