    I’m trying to add a link to a transparent png photo. But when I add the link there suddenly appeares to be a white box around the picture. I would like to use a black background on my website so the white box looks incredibly odd with it. I was wondering if anybody would know how to get rid of that white box. My theme is lodestar.

    Hi there,

    Can you point me to the post/page on your site where you’ve added the image?

    From what you describe it sounds like the link itself, i.e. the <a> HTML element that’s wrapped around the image when you add the link, has a background color defined in this theme’s stylesheet. If that’s the case, the only way to prevent this would be to override your theme’s default styling for links using custom CSS on our free plan.

    Alternatively, have you considered creating a PNG with an opaque background matching the background color of your site?
