How To Change Tumblr Page Background

[hahahanintendo]

Thank you so much!! My background image finally covered my whole tumblr page!!

[JY4U1]

easier way :Stylish

[mabroaz]

For those that can't find the theme tab, you can click on customize and them Edit HTML. Scroll down to find the part where it says Background Image and put the direct link to the picture between the parenthesis.

OMG, This helped SO MUCH (: ! thankyou !

[SHINee4LYFE]

OMG THIS HELPS SO FRIGGIN MUCH! THANK YUH! Lol i have a 2NE1 theme!

[MIsszNita]

okay when you go to customize my bar does not look like that ?? helpp , does it matter what time of computer you have ??

[MentalSelfMutilation]

For "brain itches," the background image stuff is like hidden. I somehow managed to find a way months ago but forgot. PLEASE help me out, guys? There's no "background," "image," "bg," or "img" anywhere easily accessible for Brain Itches.

[sereliya]

please help. after pressing Ctrl F & typing 'background' the first one that shows up looks nothing like the one in this vid. in fact the whole template looks different. there is no where that says: url ()

so i dont know where to put the img link in

[RearrangingReality]

Ok, I haven't been on Tumblr in a VERY LONG TIME, so I'm lost. See, you know when you first sign in? Like when ur page is all blue and crap? Well, when I hit customize it takes me to the new page and it's completely different from my blue one and is full of bullshit posts I definitely did not post. Someone pleezzee!!! Help me out! I don't understand!

[StrawberryLawl]

There's no 'url' listed at backgrounds. -.-'



[shanata17]

Thanks a lot! It worked!

[squirtbucket94]

how do i get it to repeat the backgroud?

[meatyjuice]

how did u bring up that search box where you typed backgrounds?

[ThePogepoge]

What's the size?

[D00kie11]

yeah like when i typed background i get 64 kinds... why is it in your vid 17?

[NLDBroadcast]

Hi, I still can't seem to get this right. I'm using 'Still Here' by IAM7TH

Any one know how to do it with this theme?

[OfficialWhyRock722]

@NLDBroadcast Apparently, Still Here by IAM7TH also allows changing the background picture by simply uploading one (without the hassles of HTML/CSS editing stuff). On your customize page, click 'Appearance' and then you should see "Landscape Image: Upload Clear". Take a look -----> hxtxtxp :x/x/ bxixt .xlxy /xhxpxUxwxOxR <-- (remove all x's and spaces in the link)

[natashamcqueen]

where exactly did you put the direct link

[tqalondon]

Finally, after millions of pages I've visit to help for this and now I got the perfect solution.. thankss so much

[itsmyworldupsidedown]

do you have to have a specific theme for this to work cause i cant even find a "background" on mine

[OfficialWhyRock722]

@itsmyworldupsidedown Reading everyone else's comments (similar to this), I learned not all Tumblr themes are coded in the same way... Like in my current theme, it has this "Change Background" button in its customize page so I won't slash my eyes working on the HTML thing. So it is still basic HTML knowledge in looking for the correct codes to revise. Mmmm, if you'd like (this also goes to everyone having problems) you can send in the link to your desired Tumblr theme and I'll...

[xxPoRnStaRzzxx]

@OfficialWhyRock722 what theme you have

[OfficialWhyRock722]

@itsmyworldupsidedown (cont) reverse engineer the codes for you as long as I can. Send it as a comment here (the link) or as a private message to me here on YouTube. =D

[iHatred3]

cant see url dude

[loverose10]

THANK YOUUUU!!!!

[OSCAR7893]

as soon as i saw this i was like; ohhhhhh..... okay

[xjessicaxashleyx]

under the custom HTML thing, it doesnt say background url anywhere. so where do i paste the url?

[recon345]

i look for background but i can't find it. it does not show

[recon345]

i can't find the url stuff

[OfficialWhyRock722]

@recon345 Try re-reading the 'description' area or watch the video in full screen - that way you can see the words in the video more clearly. If you can't find the URL thing after the word 'background' you saw, probably that's not the correct 'background' word. The word 'background' appears a lot of times in the HTML code of the theme so it's best that you arrive at the correct one.

[loverose10]

@recon345 mine didnt say url, i noticed that beside one of the background words there were " ". so i pasted it in there

[mika0penniman]

ive tried for a wile and it hasnt really been working, what kind of theme do u recomend that is easiest to fix it up?

[OfficialWhyRock722]

@mika0penniman i don't know what to answer. It's HTML editing. You can seek tutorials for the basics if you aren't that much familiar with it. =)

[redluck08]

can somebody teach me on how to tnx i really dont get where to paste the text or codes redflores_08@yahoo.com

[OfficialWhyRock722]

@redluck08 Have you read this video's description? =( I'm sorry my vid's not that helpful.

[01ECCORPUZ]

i accidently deleted all html codes how do i get that back?

[OfficialWhyRock722]

@01ECCORPUZ i hope you have not clicked either the 'Save' or the 'Save and Close' button? if yeap sorry you have to re-install the theme (if you only got it installed) or start all over if you customized it yourself...

[Natashae97]

i dont get it.

it wont change it.and i dont know where to put that link.

i guess im dumb lmfao

[OfficialWhyRock722]

@Natashae97 Have you read this video's description? =( I'm sorry my vid's not that helpful.

[carolina4303]

what do I type in the box (ctrl+F) if I want to add a banner (or picture) on my description area?

This is a great tutorial by the way, thank you!

[OfficialWhyRock722]

@carolina4303 description area? you mean on the 'about me' (or the sort) part? i think you'll have to go to the "Info" tab on the customize page and paste there the html code of the picture... Photobucket(dot)com is an awesome place to start with (if you're not yet aware with it)... Upload your desired photo there and have its html code... you can also customize the width and height (and size scale) of the photo in its code. ......... hope this helps. =)
