 * In the Dara theme, when I go to Customize then Colors & Backgrounds then click
   on the Change button on the Background bar, I only see a list of predefined images
   for “Pick a Background Pattern”. Last year, I was able to set the background 
   to a purchased media image of confetti (for New Year’s Day) yet I’m not finding
   a way to do that this year.
 * Similar to setting a custom color, how do I set an image as the background in
   the Dara theme?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustom-background-pattern%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there,
 * From what I can see your site is a WordPress.com Business site, which includes
   free live chat support.
 * It’s also worth noting that this support forum is for sites set up on other hosts(
   GoDaddy, Bluehost, etc.) which do not function the same as sites on WordPress.
   com.
 * With this in mind can you ask for a hand with your background image issue here?
   The support staff at WordPress.com are happy to take a closer look: [https://wordpress.com/help/contact](https://wordpress.com/help/contact)

 * Ok, I was hoping it was just something I missed in navigation but I’ll contact
   the WP support team. Thanks.
