  Hi, is it possible to change the background colour of a theme? I’ve managed to do it once but can’t remember how I did it! At the moment it’s white but makes the site look very bleak. I don’t have a premium/business account as yet.

  Hey there,

  Many of our themes at WordPress.com allow you to customize the background of your site by selecting a color. You can follow this guide on how to do this https://wordpress.com/support/themes/custom-backgrounds/#setting-a-background-color

  Hope this helps

  Ok, thanks, I’ve done that. Could you also advise how I can use an image instead? When I click on Colour & Backgrounds, I don’t get an oblong Background box come up, like the screenshot on the link. I’m using the Hever them.
