 * The problem is that you have other elements which take up the entire width of
   the browser, so the body element (and its background image) gets hidden.
 * By the way, you shouldn’t be making changes to the theme’s style.css file. If
   you ever update the theme, then your changes will be lost. Best to use a CSS 
   plugin like Jetpack or [Custom CSS Manager](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/)
   to add your own CSS. Or use the theme’s custom CSS option, if it has one.
 * Try adding this rule:
 *     ```
       .page-id-1945 #wrap {
          width: 90%;
          margin: 0 auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * You should then be able to see the background image around the sides of the `
   wrap` element.

 * You can also add a rule like this, instead:
 *     ```
       .page-id-1945 #content * {
         background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
       }
       ```
   
 * This will make the content elements background transparent so the body background
   image shows through.
