Description

The ability to select an image from the media library as the background is baked right into core now. This plugin will no longer be developed.

Add an action button to images in the media library. Easily use any image as your custom background.

Custom backgrounds must be enabled on the active theme

Installation

  1. Upload the contents of the zip file to the your plugins directory (default: /wp-content/plugins/)
  2. OR – upload it to the mu-plugins directory (you can create it if it doesn’t exist)
  3. Find the “Use as Background” link next to the “Edit” and “Delete Permanently” links in the Media Library
  4. After clicking that, you’ll have the opportunity to change the background position and color options

Frequently Asked Questions

Where’s the “Use as Background” link?

First, your theme must support custom backgrounds. If it does, you’ll see the link next to the “Edit” and “Delete Permanently” links in the Media Library.
