Background Color In Flexibility 3

To change the background color or select a custom image for your background, navigate to the Background/Borders tab. The first option will be Blog background color. If you already have the alpha-numeric code for the color you want, you can enter it and update or choose from the color selector.



The result on the live website looks something like this.




The theme offers a number of different backgrounds to choose from to help customize your blog. You can preview these options by clicking the link in the description of the Blog background image. Once you have chosen the background image you want, you can then select it from the drop down menu and save the changes.

Adding A Custom Background

Simply enter your Blog background custom image URL. If you're unsure where to get this URL, follow the steps in my other tutorial, How To Build A WordPress Website on the Installing Pictures to Your Pages And Post page.

Hi Ty, Thank you for your help. I found the button I needed to find to upload the file. With my vision impairment, the file was difficult to see and changing the colors and the size of the image finally brought it to light. But now I have a question on the flexibility 3 bile. I downloaded the folder flexibity3 but it is not a zip file. How do I find the zip file? Thanks for your help.

When you download flex 3 it comes in a zip file, don't try to open it or install it just upload the file directly to wordpress and it will do the rest for you.

Thanks for the tutorial. I actually downloaded this theme and put it on a website that I am planning to build but have not had the time yet to figure out the the adjustments. You have saved me a ton of time. Now I just need to get my content together.

I'm glad to here it. I know I get people asking all the time about a good free theme and so far this is the only free one I have been really happy with. I also like it because the owner is helpful if you have questions or if something is acting up in the theme.

A very flexible theme indeed. Header area had lots of variations.

yeah you can do all kinds of things with the header. I recently acquired Thesis theme and I am looking forward to using it. I want to see the difference between the two so I can do a review of the two and point out the advantages and disadvantages of both.

Ty, I have a page line theme.The functionality is very powerful but the they have followed a structured approach to program the theme. The customizations are difficult to make in such a theme. Just a thought for you. I believe a theme that follows a default twenty eleven theme coding standards should be more helpful for starters who want to customize inch by inch with their codes.

I try to stay away from having to coding as much as possible. To me coding is slow and tedious work and it's time that could be better spent doing something else like creating new content.

You're welcome. It does have many more options that is shown in this tutorial but I think I hit all of the major stuff. Let me know if you have questions about anything
