 * Hi Nevma,
 * I feel like I have read all the posts regarding this topic and I was not able
   to find a solution.
 * I would really like to use your plugin. I need a solution which works in conjunction
   to what you have made. I need my featured image to be displayed as a background
   image in my post header. When people access the post on different devices I need
   the correct image size to load.
 * My solution which isn’t loading an adaptive image.
 * `
    <?php global $post; ?> <?php $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(
   $post->ID), array( 5600,1000 ), false, ” ); ?> <header class=”entry-header pad-
   tb3″ id=”startchange” style=”background: url(<?php echo $src[0]; ?> ) !important;”
   > ‘
 * I feel like I’m not the only one experiencing this issue. I am hoping you can
   help us figure this out. Thanks for your time, – Nate.

 * Hello, Nate,
 * Thank you for reaching out to us!
 * Well, if you are not using a CDN or a caching server, like Varnish, then what
   you are asking is already supported. You see, in these cases, which are the most
   common, the plugin takes over image handling and it will indeed handle all images,
   even those in CSS backgrounds. Of course this is true so long as the respective
   image directories are set in the plugin watched directories.
 * On the other hand, if you are using a CDN or a caching server, then a) we do 
   have an experimental feature that supports normal image elements, which will 
   become more stable in the next version, but b) images in CSS backgrounds are 
   still a peculiar case, that we cannot handle, although we do have some ideas 
   for the near future. I hope this is not your case, but we are doing our best 
   to get it to development as soon as possible.
 * Let me know if there is anything else you need!
 * Cheers,
    Takis
