  Hi!

  I cannot find a place to place an image as a background to my text on the Edin theme. Could you help me with both the main page and the three sub pages?

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

  I tried that, and it told me about featured images, which I went to the Settings tab in the upper left corner of the dashboard, and it was not there. Also, there is not featured option on the page.

  You can set the background of your blog from Dashboard > Appearance > Background.

  Isn’t this what you want?

  Isn’t that the actual background, not the picture?

  Featured images and background images are not the same thing at all. reference links:

  Hi there!

  I tried that, and it told me about featured images, which I went to the Settings tab in the upper left corner of the dashboard, and it was not there. Also, there is not featured option on the page.

  The option to set the Featured Image isn’t found on the upper left corner of the dashboard, but in the Featured Image box in the bottom right side of the page editor. As an example, click here to edit your main page:

  https://psdemo245.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=6&action=edit

  Scroll a bit downwards, look at your right side, and you should see something like this:

  

  Once you find it, click on “Set Featured Image” to assign one to the page.

  For more instructions, please refer to our support doc:

  Featured Images

  Let me know if you run into any problems. Thanks!
