Ashford supports WordPress 3.0 custom background images and colors.
- Create a background image (see the example in ashford_pro/images/extras)
- Dashboard > Appearance > Background
- Upload the background image (Use the sample which uses transparency to work with most colors)
- Select “Display options”: center, no repeat and scroll
- Add background color (optional): #D54E21
- Click save changes
NOTE: If you are Ashford Pro your background color option entered here will be OVERRIDDEN if you select a Color Style. This option needs to be accounted for when doing child themes.
