[Resolved] background image for single posts

[Mark]

I would like to get my background image to cover the entire individual blog post. Currently, I can only get it to be background behind the text. I have tried (in the customizer to make the colors | header transparent by making the select color box have no entry, but it doesn’t seem to allow it.

So can you tell me the CSS to make the background image cover the entire single post page, instead of just the area behind the text?

My blog page is on the “News” menu item on http://new.nimblethimble.com

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Hi there,

So you are wanting the current body background image to apply to every single page basically?

Then it might be easier to just upload it through the customizer instead of adding CSS to target each page like the current method?

Let me know 🙂

Leo,

I thought about that but didn’t see anyplace in the customizer under Backgrounds for single blog posts or archives.

If you upload it to Background Images > Body then it will apply to every page/post, which is what you want no?

I browse the few pages you have and every page has that background image.

Leo,

I have already applied it (per your past response) to my pages. Now I am just looking to apply it to the single posts.

I think you’ve misunderstood me.

You are currently using this CSS to add the background image on various pages:

body.page-id-60, body.page-id-6633, body.page-id-10, body.page-id-6500, body.blog, body.page-id-6502, body.page-id-6505, body.page-id-6511 {
    background-image: url(http://new.nimblethimble.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/white_quilit_background_levels.jpg);
}

If you also want it on single posts, that basically means you want that background image on every page and post of your site. In that case, simply upload it through the customizer as I mentioned before and you can remove the CSS.

Let me know if this is clear 🙂

Thanks Leo,

That did the trick.
