  Can I reposition the background image? I have it aligned to the left, but I’d also like to lower where it appears.

  Hi there,

  Sure! If you edit CSS you can re-position the background image. Go to Appearance > Customize in your Dashboard and click on the CSS tab.

  Add this to your CSS editor:

  body.custom-background {
  	background-position-y: 100px;
  	background-position-x: 20px;
  }

  The background-position-y moves the image down. By increasing the pixels you move it further down. So, if you want it lower than the preview shows, increase that 100 pixels to whatever you want.

  The background-position-x moves the images to the right. If you like where it is without the 20pixels that I added just remove that entire line. Again, you can add more pixels to move this further right.

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
