    Hi

    I've had one issue resolved this afternoon so I'm hoping that someone can help with this as well.

    I have a background, the same as can be seen on the sides of http://www.graciebarra.com

    How can I add this background to this site http://www.graciebarraci.com, which is affiliated with the other site.

    I am assuming that I will be add the background to the sides of the site to the left and right of the red navigation menu bar.

    Thanks in advance
    Malcolm

    you download the background http://www.graciebarra.com/wp-content/themes/gbmain/images/bg.jpg and upload into images folder of your child theme via FTP or File Manager

    add this CSS

    nav{
     background: url(images/bg.jpg) repeat-x scroll;
    }

    Download Genesis Featured Posts Combo Widget | Simple Grid Layouts Plugin for Posts, CPTs and terms

    Hi Genwrock

    Thanks for the help but not quite what I meant.

    I meant from the top of the site to the bottom, not just the sides of the nav bar. I merely meant the sides of the site.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks for the help though.

    Hi Malycom,

    Add the image to your images folder via ftp

    Try the following css:

    .site-container{
         background: url('images/bg.jpg');
    }

    Thanks for the help but on looking at it, the site doesn't lend itself to this background without other changes.

    Thank you very much anyway.
