8,821 PointsWP removing theme default background?
Hi guys, I've been wracking my brain to get this work but i think im missing something.
I downloaded the "Creative" theme from wordpress.org and have been trying how to figure out how to have a background image cover the page, and allow the content in front of it to scroll down, however, I can't seem to get rid of the theme's default front content...
Is this a css issue? is it a wp-admin issue? should I instead be placing the picture in the header?
I'm not sure why I dont get it.
Here's a link to the theme: https://wordpress.org/themes/creative/ Here's a link to my page with said problem: http://www.ahspark.com I want to know how to duplicate the theme example..
Thanks for the help!!
Zac Gordon I'm not sure why I forgot this.. Ive literally been sitting for hours trying to figure it out lol

Is that what you were trying to achieve? If not, then I'm not sure I understand the issue. Or have you already fixed it?
When testing stuff like this, it's helpful to have a bunch of dummy text so you can see what the page is like with lots of content.
