 * Gosh, i hate being a pest, but the body is still not transparent.
 * here is the custom CSS. did i misunderstand?
 * .site-content {
    background-color: transparent; background: rgba(0,255,255,0.5);}
 * body {
    background-color: transparent; }
 * I added the image using the Customizer:
    Background Repeat=Tile Horizontally (
   just to make sure it was going all the way across) Background Position=Left Background
   Attachment=Fixed Background Size=Contain Background Overlay Opacity slider 1/
   3 from the left and Sidebar Background Colour is the Default #FFFFFF
 * Have i added it in the wrong place? Here it is from View Page Source
 * <style type=’text/css’>img#wpstats{display:none}</style><style type=”text/css”
   id=”custom-background-css”>
    .sidebar { background-color: #ffffff; background-
   image: url(‘[http://fc8.c7e.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rocksGray.jpg&#8217](http://fc8.c7e.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/rocksGray.jpg&#8217););
   background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: top left; background-attachment:
   fixed; background-size: contain; } .sidebar:before {opacity: 0.3;} </style>
 * Hmmm, now that i am re-reading what you said, do you mean the image is custom
   css in the body layer, rather than using the customizer and adding it to the 
   background?
 * sorry to be dense about this. thanks for your patience.

 * thanks loads for making the time to answer at your last minute of the day.
 * in customize i reset all my color changes back to default and added your code
   to the jetpack edit css. nothing seemed to change.
 * i went to the editor and noted that the css says .site-content {background-color
   instead of just background, so i changed that and nothing seemed to change.
 * i changed the rgba from (255,255,255,0.5) to (0,255,255,0.1) to make some contrast
   and now i see that there seems to be a white layer between the content background
   and the full background.
 * when i changed the body {background-color to (0,255,255,0.1), it changed that
   white layer’s color but does not get transparent.
 * the upshot is i seem to be able to change the two layers of color, but I still
   cannot see the background image.
 * i would love to share the url with you, but the client is not interested in sharing
   yet in a relatively public forum. if you want to see it, is there a private way
   to share?
 * thanks loads.

 * is it possible to make the entire width of the site transparent, both sidebar
   and content area? I want one image behind the sidebar and also behind the content
   area.
 * my image spreads across the site. i can see the left side behind the sidebar,
   but i cannot figure out where to turn off the content background color, or change
   the content background color to transparent.
