How To Change Your WordPress Background Image

Changing your WordPress background image can be done in just a few minutes.

1. Open your ftp and login to your WordPress site via the ftp.
Navigate to your “wp-content/themes/yourthemename/images”
In this folder you should find an image file with a name similar to bg.jpg, main-bg.jpg ro something along those lines. There is really no standard as different designers will use different names for the background in their theme. You can preview the images to make sure you have the right one.

2. Find the image on your computer that you want to use as your new background. Rename the image to the same name as the current backrgound image on your site.

3. Upload the image to the image folder overwriting the current image. Once you are done your new image should be displaying on your site. You may need to refresh your homepage a few time before you see it.

That’s it, your’e done.
