Customizing the background image in WordPress gives your website a unique look and feel. You can set an image as your site’s background and control its position, size, and behavior. Here’s how to do it:
1. Select Background Image
- Go to Appearance > Customize > Background Image.
- Click the Select Image button to upload or choose an image from your media library.
- Once the image is selected, you’ll see a preview. You can also click Remove Image to change or delete the background image.
2. Preset Options for Background Image
After selecting your background image, you can choose from several preset options:
- Default: No specific adjustment applied.
- Fill Screen: The background image will cover the entire screen.
- Fit to Screen: The image will adjust to fit within the screen’s dimensions.
- Repeat: The image will repeat itself across the background.
- Custom: Allows for more fine-tuned control over how the image is displayed.
3. Image Position
Set the position of your background image. Choose from these options:
- Top Left, Top Center, Top Right
- Left Center, Center Center, Right Center
- Bottom Left, Bottom Center, Bottom Right This determines where the image will be positioned relative to the screen.
4. Image Size
Control the size of the background image by selecting:
- Original: Displays the image at its original size.
- Fill Screen: Stretches the image to fill the entire screen.
- Fit to Screen: Resizes the image to fit within the screen without distortion.
5. Repeat Background Image
You can enable or disable the option to Repeat the background image. This can be useful if the image is smaller and you want it to repeat across the screen.
6. Scroll with Page
You can also choose whether the background image should scroll with the page as the user scrolls down or remain fixed in place. This option creates a parallax effect for a more dynamic visual experience.
With these settings, you can fully customize how the background image behaves and looks on your WordPress website, helping you create a personalized and visually appealing design.
