Change the Background to an Image in Wordpress Theme "Balance"

Help Please...

I only can change between the predefined backgrounds but not to an own Backgroundimage, How can I do this in the Wordpress Backend?

Open config.xml, copy one of the background-options and rename it. Make sure its value is the same as the name of your copied CSS file.

<option value="YOURBGNAME">YOUR BG NAME</option>

Sven,

Is there a way to override this file in your custom style folder for your website? So that any future updates to the template leave the changes there or is it something I have to do manually?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi,

this can't be done in the wordpress backend.
You can

a) override on of the existing backgrounds: images/backgrounds
b) add your own background and make it selectable in the administration (better option)

If you want to add your own:

  • Copy your image to images/backgrounds/YOURBGNAME
  • Make a copy of fabric.css, rename it (YOURBGNAME.css) and edit its content.
  • Open config.xml, copy one of the background-options and rename it. Make sure its value is the same as the name of your copied CSS file.

    <option value="YOURBGNAME">YOUR BG NAME</option>

Regards
Sven
