First, in the them customizer
- add a background image
- Disable ‘stretch background image’
- Repeat = tile
- Position = left
- Scroll = scroll or fixed
- Publish
- Remove image
- Publish
Then choose a CSS/SVG pattern from one of these two websites
Use the CSS below to use the background everywhere. If you only want to apply it to specific sections, you need to give the section a CSS class like hws-background and change #main-content into .hws-background.
/* -- START SVG background -- */
.et_pb_section{
background-color: unset !important;
}
#main-content {
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: unset;
background-size: unset;
Copy pattern code here
}
/* -- END SVG background -- */
Code language: PHP (php)- et_pb_section is needed if you use the theme builder
- background-attachment: fixed; (fixed behind scrolling content) // scroll; (scrolls with the content)
- background-position & background-size: optionaly, may be needed if the pattern shows as a single instance rather then a pattern.
Example
You may need to set the background-color to !important.
/* -- START Background pattern -- */
body.custom-background {
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: unset;
background-size: unset;
background-color: #ffffff !important;
