Background image

Hi Earl,

You may have added it in "Customize > Background Images".

Let me know :)

Ok Tom. I think it is “Customize > Background Images > Body”. It is confusing because it doesn't show what the current image uploaded is. I know I did a special front page where several backgrounds came together but it's been so long I can't remember. I'll send a print screen and see if that will help. I don't want to mess it up, just want to remember what I did!

How can I attach a print screen/png?

Thanks!

I'm working on using the fields so they show the images just like the logo option.

If there's an image set, there should be a "remove" link next to the upload button. Are you seeing anything like that?

You can upload the screenshot to your media library on your site and share the file URL.

OK. http://2c8.24d.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-09-at-11.51.01-AM.png

There is a "remove" next to the "Upload" button but when you click on "Upload" I can't tell which file was loaded. Is there a way to see the code?

Hope this works!

You can tell which file is being used by looking at your site - it should be your background image.

To change it, simply click upload and choose a new image and insert it.

That should be all that's required :)

OK. Great and thanks!

No problem :)

I'm stumped a little here -- I added a background image to the Body, but it never actually shows up. If I view the page after saving and publishing, and select "view background image" on the right-click menu, it throws a 404 error. Any suggestions?

Does the image show in the preview in "Customize > Background Images > Body"?

Hi Tom, It did the first time I applied it, but never again. Even if I remove and reapply the background image, it never shows up.

When you upload an image through the Media Library, does it stay visible in there? The background add-on uses the core media library control, so if images aren't successfully being uploaded it might be an issue with server permissions.

It's visible in the media library, and I've tried re-uploading it and it still doesn't show up.

Are there any limitations on path length? This is a demo I'm creating under my personal website, and the image paths are getting kinda long.

I've wiped and reinstalled WP a couple of times and this issue persists. It's a real puzzler.

Thanks much for your help BTW

Eureka! Figured it out! I imported a css from the original website and it was "arguing" with my settings. I removed the css and now it's visible.

Thanks for your patience :-)

Aha! Glad you got it working :)
