Hey Amir,

Please check out our Background Partial tutorial at https://theme.co/apex/forum#background

If you don’t see the option, chances are, Advanced Mode is disabled in your site. You can enable it in X > Settings > Permissions > User Preferences

Hope that helps.

Hello There,

The setting you are looking for is not present with the current installed version in your site. Could you please update to the latest versions?
Our latest versions are:

• X theme 6.2.5
• Cornerstone 3.2.5

This latest release contains fixes for several issues so be sure to check out the changelog (http://theme.co/changelog/).

_After doing the updates, always remember to clear all caches (if you are using WP Rocket, WP SuperCache or W3 Total Cache) when updating so that the code from the latest release is always in use. This will help you to avoid any potential errors.-

Please let us know how it goes.

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in!

Yes, you can have video as background of a section.
Please follow this step.

1. Select or add any section and select the advanced option.
   

2. Select the Video background option and add your video source over there.

Also, add a poster image so that it will show in the mobile device.

If you are not seeing the advance option. Please click on the setting icon in the left.

Then enable advance mode.

Hope this helps!
