If you're looking for an easy way to
customize your site keep watching
because I'll show you how you can add a
background image to your website, it'll
make it look more appealing to your
visitors. First thing you want to do is
go ahead and head over to your WordPress
dashboard area and the first method that
we'll do is by adding a background image
using your WordPress theme settings.
Depending on which theme you have you
might be able to simply add a background
from there and I'll show you what I'm
talking about. You can go to appearance,
customize and if your theme has
something like a background image then
you're already set to go. All you need to
do is select the image or upload the
image that you want to set as your
background. I'll use this one as an
example and then you'll see in the live
area it shows where the background will
show up. You see with this theme you have
a different presets to change the way
that it'll look, you can also change the
image from here and then once you're
happy with that setting you can click
Save and publish.
So that's method one and most themes
nowadays have that option. With the next
method you can add a custom background
image anywhere on WordPress using CSS so
I'll show you quickly how you can do
that. Let's open up our site visit it in a
new tab and we want to right click,
inspect because we're looking for the
body tag right here and you see that
it's showing our body image that we
added earlier but if you're not using; if
your theme doesn't have that setting
then this won't be here and all you need to
do is add the custom background image so
we'll copy that code and then you just
want to go back to your customize area
or you can go into your CSS this is the
easy way to add custom CSS you can paste
that code in there and all you need to
do is if you know the link of the image
you can paste it in there as you see I
put a new image there and you can see
that it has changed. So that would be
the other way that you can use it, it's a
little bit heavy in the CSS department
and knowing a little bit of code but
it'll provide you with a custom
background image for your WordPress
website as well. Did you learn something
