Background image not displaying - X theme

Hi there.
I am attempting to put a background image on the pages of my website. I need it to be a watermark behind the text. I have added the background image to the page settings, but the image does not display. I also tried putting the background image in the x theme options panel, but that did not work either. Could you tell me what the problem might be.

Thank you so much.

Hi Erica,

Upon checking that page, I don’t see any page background. If you’re sure you have added it either on Theme Options or Page settings, that means there’s something that prevent it from working. Can we do a basic troubleshooting first? You could try testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

If the issue persists after that, please share admin username and password inside a secure note so we can check your setup. Thank you.

Hi. Thanks for getting back to me. The client was in a hurry and I needed to try custom coding, but the client doesn’t like the result. I have placed the background image in the page options of the about page again so you can see what I am talking about. The client wants the background image to be fullscreen edge to edge.

I did deactivate all plugins, but that did not help. I have added the admin login details to the secure note above.

Hi Erica,

I got it now.You are using Icon stack and there’s a white background set to it by default. Let’s remove that background so you can see the background image behind it. Edit the page, and then on Page CSS, try adding the following:

.site, .x-site {
    background-color: transparent;
}

Hope this helps.

Fantastic. That did the trick. Thank you so much!!!

You are most welcome. :slight_smile:
