Background image

I am familiar with your theme. But, if it helps, in the default theme, you can:

Admin => Appearance – Background

t-p, thanks for the response.

In the minimalism theme, the items under Appearance are:

Themes
Widgets
Menus
Header Image and Color
Editor

I can’t seem to find in any of the php code (or elsewhere) where it defines the background image.

I am not sure, but its possible that your theme does not support custom themes as the Twenty Ten does.

grantruby, the background is controlled with the css file. Please post a link to your site – we should be able to help you once we see the css.

jrav001,

My site is grantruby.com.

This is the link to the style.css file:

https://www.grantruby.com/themes/minimalism/style.css

I’ve narrowed it down to the section /* Begin Typography & Colors */

However, there are many references to “background” in that section and I’m not sure where I want to put the image tag. Any idea?

Upload the image you want to use as your background. Assuming you have put it in your minimalism/images/ directory (the same location as minimalismheader.jpg) and named it background.jpg do the following…

In your css file, find this:

body {
font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
background: #fff;
color: #333;
text-align: center;
}

and change it to this:

body {
font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
background: url("images/background.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0 #fff;
color: #333;
text-align: center;
}
