In abstract how do I add the picture at the top
12 replies · Started by Cynthia on November 5, 2021
I know this is a really basic question but I've searched the website and tried multiple ways and can't get it to work out. I'm wanting to add a picture where there is the abstract-looking picture up at the top of the home page on the abstract site library. Can you help me to do that? Thank you!
I'm not familiar specifically with Abstract.
But quite often this comes up and the answer is often it is in an Element.
So check the Elements section in Appearance.
OR
It may be a background of a container, rather than an Image block.

Hi Cynthia,
Are you trying to replace the current picture?
If so it's uploaded as the background image in the first container:

Let me know if this helps :)
Thank you David & Leo,
I tried changing the background as you showed in your screencast. However after I do it and hit save there is nothing there. I'm going to attach a screenshot of my screen and see if you can help me figure out what I am doing wrong. (actually doesn't look like I can do that-maybe I'll just type in what each box says or you can let me know how to send you the screenshot. Thanks in advance for your help.
Can you link us to the page in question?
Hey Leo,
I have it under construction so I don't think you can view it that way.
Hi Cynthia,
Without seeing your site, we can't locate the issue.
You can try using this method to upload screenshot:

But it's better for us to see the live code.
Let me know :)
Could I give you a temporary log in so that you can log in and see the code? I will go ahead and put it in the private section so if its ok you can go ahead and take a peek. Thanks
I'm seeing the images added:

so weird. Why would it be showing on your side and not mine?
I cannot see either of those pictures (hence why there is two :) when I try to view it on my computer-even using the link I sent you.
Hey Leo,
Cleared and history and cache and fixed it! Yay! Thanks :)
No problem :)
