    I need to code a checkered background picture into a certain part of the front page on the Minimum Pro Theme.

    Here is the website:

    http://www.acheckeredtowing.com/

    Right behind the four main page pics "About Us, Towing/Impound, Transport/Storage, Roadside Assistance."

    That is where I need to put a background pic in.

    Honestly I am not sure how to do that? How would I get that done? Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    I think you could use .site-inner.

    Add this on line 373 of style.css to test:

    background-image: url('http://www.acheckeredtowing.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/checkered-tow-trucks-and-Queen-Mary.jpg');
    

    This is what i get in the browser:

    1

    The you can tweak the CSS to clean it up.

    Hi Brad,

    When I do that I am getting nothing... unless I am doing it wrong. Line 373 is the form line.. so I am a little confused on where to add the code you sent, maybe I am adding it wrong?

    Here is a screenshot of line 373... not sure what I am doing wrong.

    Find this rule and add it like this:

    .site-inner {
        background-image: url('http://www.acheckeredtowing.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/checkered-tow-trucks-and-Queen-Mary.jpg');
        background-color: #fff;
        clear: both;
        padding-top: 40px;
    }
