How Do I Add a Background Image to a Slider in WordPress?

Adding a background image to a slider in WordPress is easy. To do so, first open your slider’s WordPress theme’s functions.php file and add the following line of code:

add_image_front();

Next, upload the image you want to use to your website’s media library. You can then use the background_image option in your slider’s WordPress theme’s settings to set the image as the slider’s background.

To do so, open your slider’s theme’s settings panel and enter background_image in the Settings table’s Background Image field. Click the Update button to save your changes.

Finally, return to your slider’s WordPress theme’s functions.php file and add the following line of code to the end of the file:

return false;

This line will return your slider to its default appearance. If you want to add a background image to your slider but don’t want it to be the default background image, you can add the following line of code to your theme’s functions.php file:

return true;

This will set your slider’s background image to the image you uploaded in Step 1.
