Hi there,

Your background opacity setting is "1", which means the color overlay is 100% visible, making the background image 100% covered (not viewable).

When I override that setting and change the opacity to ".5" using some web developer tools, the background image becomes visible.

Best,

Chris

Switching around with the opacity number setting doesn't help. My home page background is not being shown.

No prob, one more thing to try may be to switch around the opacity number setting.

Hey, thanks for that. I tried and it worked for footer but not the main page..

However that seems to be a nice clue for Molitor, it just seems like something's not being instantiated correctly upon initial loading of the theme.

Hey, I realized once I toggle between light and dark theme choices the background images all of a sudden began working. Perhaps it is something of a small bug but it may be a work around.

Thank you. Hope this helps.

Hi

I am trying to upload a background image through Appearace > Customize but it won't show.

Weird, because I am able to upload a logo and it works just fine.

I tried this on a few different servers, have all the plugins except WP Super Cache installed (server handles caching on its own). Please help

Thanks
