    I'm using the one-pager child theme https://sridharkatakam.com/announcing-one-pager-one-page-parallax-website-child-theme-genesis/

    I can't figure out what size I need to make the background image in the bottom contact forum. If you look at it on a full size screen you will see that there is white spacing showing on the bottom. In addition, my site is defaulting to the original stock pictures that came with the theme when I view it on my phone.

    Please don't laugh at my site. It is a work in progress and needs some serious design tips I'm sure.

    Theme uses background cover property. So it will stretch whatever image size you use. Ideally 1280 X 500 image size would look crisp.

    That white space you are getting due to padding values to odd and even classes defined in style.css file. (replied in your other forum thread).

    Of course, no laughing - infact you are doing very good. Everyone starts like this. Keep up explore and learn routine.

    Thank you Davinder! The documentation suggests a minimum 1140 so most if my images are between 1140 and 1575 px. Do you think that is too large? I feel like my up time is crazy slow. I don't know whether to attribute this to my hosting or the images.
