Background images not showing after trying everything

My background images will not show up. I have selected all types of layouts including “Boxed” and I have also made sure the hex code is clear on the background color. I have tried setting the background image in the customizer as well as in the page directly. I set the Ms fade to 0 as recommended by another X theme user. No background images will show up since the update to the new X. Please help!

Hey Kyle,

Please ensure you have updated X Shortcodes, Visual Composer and Revolution Slider also.

Thanks.

I have the same problem. I’m trying to use multiple background images defined in the Page Settings for a page. I have about 8 images entered.

Inspecting the page with Chrome, I can see that there is a jQuery.backstretch script that appears to be running and successfully setting the background image. The problem seems to be that the content area of the page has a layer overlaying the background image with a white fill color at 100% opacity. I’m not sure if there’s more than one layer on top of the background image(s), but that’s what appears to be interfering with the proper display of the background images.

BTW – I have just updated the theme, X-shortcodes, visual composer, and revolution slider to the latest versions as of May 2, 2014.

Adding this CSS to the page (small, upper-right, button on the upper right of the Visual Composer pane), seems to have fixed the display and now I can see the rotating background images I entered in the Page Settings pane.

Here’s the CSS:

.site {
background-color: transparent !important;
}

Hi Patrick,

Glad you made it working! You could also place that at customizer’s custom css, or at your child theme’s style.css.

Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for the great product! After 6+++ hours of searching forums, knowledge-base, google…and my eyes bugg’n out… I am STUMPED!

I have tried the recommendations from the above posts…I cannot get my background image to show in the global or page settings under any format. I am using the Renew stack.

Also, when I place a gallery of 5-images into the content area, it always offsets to the left. It will not center and the padding (space between the pics) is way off. I have not had this happen on other WP themes.

Tired of researching…I hope you can help AND I really appreciate it! Thank you 🙂

Hey Deborah,

Please give us WordPress admin access so we could see your back-end setup. But before that, please ensure you’ve updated X and the plugins to their most current version and temporarily disable third party plugins.

Thanks.
