  I have set a background image that appears in preview and just as the webpage is being loaded, then switches to a white background that seems to lay over it, however I thought the background image has priority and lays on top? Its not even as if I set the background color for white though, its supposed to be black, so I don’t know where the lack of background(the white background showing) is coming from and why the background image I have set is not appearing.

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

  Hi there,

  The lighter background color that you’re seeing is the Accent #1 color in your custom colors. You can take a look at that by going to Appearance > Customize > Colors in your dashboard. You can click on each color circle in the customizer there to look at it and change the color, if you’d like.

  If you want the background image to show through, instead of having that accent color show up, you can do that with a little custom CSS. You can add CSS by pasting it into the CSS editor (under CSS in the customizer). Here’s the CSS you’d need to make your background image appear:

  #page {
  background-color: transparent;
  }

  Let me know if you have any questions about that! :)
