      I’ve seen other posts on this topic, but I’m confused by conflicting info and some suggestions that I can’t make work 馃檪

      I’d like to have a fixed image (450px high) in the slider wide area, right under the header. I’d also like to overlay text widget text on top of it (vs. including the text in a jpg image).

      Is it possible to do this? If so, how?

      What is the optimal image width to use in Slider-wide. If the image is wider than the screen I’m viewing on, then teh responsive features shrink the height down proportionally, revealing the background color above and below the image.

      I’ve tried configuring a background image (via “Appearance > Customize > Background image).This is close, but I can’t get that image to stay within confines of the slider wide area.

      I’ve tried this approach, but I can’t get the image to show. https://appfinite.com/topic/finally-how-to-add-a-single-image-in-slider-with-real-text-overlay/

      Hope I’m making sense.

      Thank you,

      Marshall

        Sorry. I was able to answer my own question.

        It’s code like this:
        .slider {
        background-attachment: fixed;
        background-image: url(images/home-img-1.jpg);
        background-position: center;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-size: cover;
        }

        The image wasn’t showing because I made a syntax error in the url.

          You beat me to it, I was just getting ready to reply 馃檪

          I’ll go ahead and close this since you got it figured out. Just let us know if you need anything else.
