@Jerry – There may be other ways to do this, but one way is to assign a different CSS class to the tag for each page. Some themes already have this page-specific class built in, which is very helpful. For example, if you view source code for pages on this site http://www.scontrino-powell.com/ you’ll see a unique class assigned to the tag for each page, like page-id-1497 on this page http://www.scontrino-powell.com/about/

With that specific page-id-1497 you can specify a background image for the body of just that page in your custom CSS file.

body.page-id-1497 {
background-image: url(address of your image goes here);
}

Here’s more info about the background-image property: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

@Chris – Looks like the makers of that theme http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/lightbright/ tout Unparalleled Support on their home page, so I would contact them and see if they can help.

Hi McBuzz Man

I’m trying to center an image used as a Header. Really just blows me away trying to work out how to do this.

I’m using Elegant Themes – LightBright template.

The header seems stuck to the right side of the screen.

BTW. Thankyou for your tutorial on ‘How to set ‘Pages’ to Home, Blog etc. Worked FIRST TIME no bother. Now trying out the tutorial about ‘Child/Sub’ pages.

Chris

@roger - You can put the .png on top of a background image using the same technique. Just substitute a <img> tag for the <h1> and/or <p> tags.

Hello Mark, firstly, thak you for all your help. I’ve found your tutorials so helpful. I found your site while searching for help to place text on top of a graphic. Thanks for that.
I don’t know if it is possible, but what I would now like to do is place a .png file (instead of text) on top of a jpg file. I have a large graphic that I want to use on a lot of pages and I need to place some dots over the top of it. Each page will have the main jpeg with different .png files for each page placed over the top of it. I’m probably asking for something that can’t be done, but I thought it might worthwhile asking you.
If you can’t help, no worries, I’m grateful for what I’ve already learned from you.
Roger

@Lisa Knipp – See if you can find a link to your home page in Google search results. (Google your site name or domain name.) Then go to the cached version from the search results. If you can see a cached version, you can View Source and get the HTML code you need.

The guy who created the site for me added this photo. I can not seem to get ahold of him, so I thought I would try this… and if it were something simple, I would not have to bother him. Thank you so much anyhow Mark

@Lisa Knipp – Be careful when using copy & paste. Links to photos will be broken. How did you add the background photo in the first place? You will probably need to repeat those steps again to put the background photo back where it was.
