Minimum Pro: Background Image Visible on Sides?

[jmrallen]

I'm trying to make the background image in Minimum Pro appear on the sides of the homepage rather than just the top, just like how they do it here using a non-Genesis environment. But, none of the CSS adjustments I've tried have worked. I've tried the .wrap, the .site-inner, and all manner of things, but I can't get the main container area to be white yet the background image showing on the sides. Instead, the image always just shows on the top, while the area shows full width.

For ease of illustration, I've changed the white to be gray on my sample site (dev.dailygame.net). Any ideas would be much appreciated. This is one of many CSS updates I need/want to make, but it's an important one to me. Thanks.

For what it's worth, the sliding background function isn't working either, but I'll be OK with that once the image starts showing on the sides....

Add the following at the end of child theme's style.css (WP dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor):

.site-inner {
    background: transparent;
}

.site-inner .wrap {
    /*background: #FFFFFF;*/
    background-color: rgba(555,555,555,0.7);
}

#home-featured {
    padding: 1.5rem;
}

#home-middle {
    padding-left: 1.5rem;
}

.footer-widgets {
    background: transparent;
}

.footer-widgets .wrap {
    background-color: rgba(51,51,51,0.5);
}

.site-footer {
    background: transparent;
}

Wow, that worked like a charm. Thank you! If I can bother you with one more question: is there a way to code it so I could specify whether the background image appears on just the homepage, just internal pages, or on all pages of the site?

[Sridhar Katakam]

Yes.

Try this:

js/backstretch-set.js reads

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
	$("body").backstretch([BackStretchImg.src],{duration:3000,fade:750});
});

In the above code,

Use body for site-wide.

Use body.category-sony for setting it just at http://dev.dailygame.net/category/videogames/sony

Thank you. Unfortunately, the "body" call does not work site-wide; the image only appears on the homepage using that default setting. I also tried body.category-sony and body.category-videogames-sony , and neither of those was able to specify the page on which it appeared.
