 * The slider itself works – however when I add a background image, the slider disappears
   on the live page (visible in preview) and skews padding on the rest of the page.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadding-background-image-doesnt-work%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@bojananikolic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bojananikolic/)!
 * I can see, that you have Lazy Load plugin installed on your website, which modifies
   the codes of your images, but it seems to have a bug with base64 encoded images.
   Base64 images are starting like this:
    `data:image/svg+xml;base64` but that plugin
   seems to remove the data: part and it inserts https:// in place of it: `https://
   image/svg+xml;base64`
 * You should try to turn off that plugin and probably that will resolve your problem.
   If it wouldn’t, please leave it being turned off and pick a background image 
   for your slide, and we will take another look!

 * It worked after disabling the plugin. Thank you!
