I like the background picture on the home page and the way it can continue show up on the way down the page. I do not want this same picture in the background of all of my pages. Those I just want to be white with no picture. Having the picture on the home page on every page looks really bad.
Hello,
Thanks for the great question. You can do this with a little bit of custom CSS, which I’ll be happy to write for you.
In order for me to make sure I get you the right CSS snippet, may I ask which Theme you’re using on your website? You can find this by visiting Customize > Change Themes and looking for the one that has the banner at the bottom that says Active.
Looking forward to helping you out!
Thanks so much Jesse I thought I might need CSS to get around this problem but didn’t know what that code might need to be. The theme I am using is Evolv. Could you be so kind as to tell me exactly where to put the CSS once you have given it to me. When I saw what was happening I couldn’t quite believe it. I have been working with wordpress and themes for years and never came across a problem like this. Thanks again for your assistance.
Hello!
Thanks for writing back! Evolv does things a little differently compared to other themes in the BoldGrid Theme Framework, so I think your best bet for this one is to actually use a snippet of custom JavaScript.
You may need to tweak this based on your color palette. Navigate to Customize -> Advanced -> Custom JS & CSS and paste the following snippet, exactly as it appears here, into your Custom Theme JS box:
jQuery('body').not('body.page-template-page_home').removeClass('custom-background').addClass('color4-background-color');Basically, what this will do is select every post and page that’s not “page-template-page_home,” i.e. your Home Page, and remove the “custom-background,” then add the “color4-background-color.”
The part that you might need to tweak is the number in the last set of parentheses. For reference, check out your color palette in Customize -> Colors and use this numbering scheme:
Generally speaking, numbers 4 and 5 are going to be the best for your background.
I hope this helps!Hi Jesse, Me again. Thanks for the amazing directions and the code. I did just what you said and it did not work. 🙁 Wondering what went wrong. I had such high hopes. Any ideas of what went wrong?
While you are helping I also wonder how to delete the Special Thanks words in the footer.
Hello!
Sorry to hear that it didn’t work out for you. Can you send a screenshot of your custom Javascript in your Customize menu so I can see what might be wrong?Here’s some information about getting rid of the “Special Thanks” attribution page.
Hi Jesse, I am not sure what happened today differently then on Sat. but for some reason the code you gave me is now working. Thanks for all of your time and patience.
