Did I explain this correctly or did I just confuse people? Or is there no simple way of doing this? Thanks!

OMG you are a lifesaver! Thank you soooo much!

I think I almost have it…I just need to get the width right….thank you all!

Ugh you are correct…gosh it’s way too late for me to be doing this…OK so I am sorry for that. Anyway, it seems like I have to work in both the php and css. So I will see what I can do with Dgold’s answer. It’s kind of working…I’m sure I will figure it out.

I didn’t bring up php…Whoami did…he said it was a php issue. I’m just going off what you guys say…I don’t know which it is.

My site is:

The site shading background I am trying to replicate is:
https://chelseabeckphotography.com/blog

Thanks.

well unfortunately, I’m not sure what all that means….so I will have to see if I can find an answer anyway. Thanks for trying.

Yes I know what it would look like. Below is an example on a blog:

https://chelseabeckphotography.com/blog/

It’s the shading one the edges of the middle page area.

On her css it says #outwrapper…which is where I came up with that term. However, maybe that’s not the right term, I’m not sure.

So it sounds like some sort of code would go in the header.php area. That is definitely a start.

This is what her code says, but I don’t think it would work for my blog…I think you are right and some sort of code needs to be in my header.php area…I’m just not sure what that code is.

/* ———————- */
/* —–LAYOUT STUFF—– */
/* ———————- */
#outerwrapper {
width: 994px;
margin:0 auto;
background: url(https://visionphotographs.com/blog/wp-content/themes/jillij-flash/images/hover.png) repeat-y;
}
#wrapper {
background:#ffffff;
width:980px;
margin:0px auto 0px auto;
}

Well that’s my question….is it something that I can do in the css or is it in the php sections?

If you can’t help…not sure why you are answering. I’m trying to get help, not get harassed. I’ve asked really nicely as I really need help. I am no pro on this. I’m not sure why you started being rude. I’m asking for a nice person to help if they can. If not, then I guess I don’t get what I’d like, which is more than OK. I will survive.

well you must have a bad internet connection…it works fine everywhere for me….it’s a photography blog…much different than your average blog. But thanks for your unrequested feedback….just really looking for someone to help out someone who is new to WordPress…

Yes I’ve searched everywhere to see how I can add this and I can’t find anything. I’ve tried so many different ways to do this…trying to interpret posts…but I can’t figure it out…that’s why I posted in here.

Again, I’m not a pro at word press…Thanks for any help!

I tried inserting into the body…but I’m not sure how to tag it…any help anyone?

MadsK…any help?

I’m using Jillij-flash

My blog is https://www.visionphotographs.com/blog

Not sure what you meant by above….I’d need some example code to know what you mean….I’m not that great with css…but I can get by if I see example code.

Thanks for your help!

bumping…would really like anyone’s help!

oops…sorry it added a period at the end.

Well how would I do that….I already have a background image…and the outerwrapper I’m talking about would go around the body (center column) of the entire blog…
