 * Hello everyone. I have looked everywhere for advice on this. My page is displaying
   the image right under my text with no “white box” to make it readable. At first
   I tried the just change the CSS as I have the Thesis theme I used the instructions
   at [http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/custom-backgrounds/](http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/custom-backgrounds/)
 * No changes to the custom.css worked not even the simple color background. I found
   no folder for /custom_images in my ftp directory adding one did nothing.
 * So I downloaded the FULLSCREEN Background image plugin which got the image on
   there. Now I want to make it more readable something like the one shown at [https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-properly-add-background-images-to-your-wordpress-site/](https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-properly-add-background-images-to-your-wordpress-site/)

 * I trust you’re using WordPress 4.7 or later…
 * Open the customizer and the section “Additional CSS”.
    Replace the placeholder
   comment with the following:
 *     ```
       .post_content {
           background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
       }
       ```
   
 * And save.
