How to have a the same image as the background perminantly - Squarespace 7.1

Step 1:

Go to Custom CSS and copy the below code into the CSS editor

Step 2:

Within Custom CSS - click on “Custom Files” and Upload your background image here

Step 3:

Now click on that file / image and it’ll give you a static URL.

Step 4:

Now take that URL and replace the “Background Image” link that you see within this code - on line 3 - within the quote marks.

——

Note:

Don’t add any background images to any sections - leave this blank to let the image kick through.
