  Is it possible to set the background-size to cover in the free version of WordPress? I see almost every other option for the background but not the size.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @mikeseminerio,

  It’s not possible to change the size of your background image using the default options available in the Customizer.

  If you choose to update to WordPress.com Premium or Business then you’ll have the option of adding the following custom CSS to achieve what you want:

  body.custom-background {
      background-size: cover;
  }

  It’s worth noting that background-size: cover; is set to each featured image for a post/page in Coherent and will appear in the header area.

  Let me know if that helps with your question or if I can assist with anything else.
