Two questions : Update & Background

[FredLT]

Hi Guys,

i have two new questions for you:

1/ i would like to know what is the best process to update the theme without loosing my customization ?

2/ I’am using the full width page layout and i would like to add an image instead of a colour, could you help me to do that if it is possible ?

Thank you !
cheers,

Hi Fred,

1) Depends what customizations. If you only added custom CSS in the theme options, you can even de-activate, remove, then install the new version, as those settings will be preserved.

2) You can add an Extra Class to a page, then add custom CSS to style it. Say we add the extra class “mycustombg1” (no quotes) and we have already uploaded an image in WP, to use as a background:

.mycustombg1 {
  background: url("http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/myimage.jpg") 0 0 no-repeat #FFF !important;
}

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Hi Cosmin,

thank you for your reply.

regarding the background, i want to change the background of my home-page, which is done with different swift builder elements so there is no one and unique extra class for the page but for the different elements…

Is there a way to add a image as a background in this kind of case ?

Thank you !

Sorry, mixed something up here.

Can you remind me your site please, so I can provide a short CSS fix?

Hi Fred,

Please check your site, I’ve added some custom CSS to give you an example of how you can add a background to just your home page.

As for updatin, it’s impossible for me to check every file from your installation. But as long as you did not edit theme files in Appearance/Editor, you won’t lose any settings.
