ok thanks so much for your prompt reply. I tried the disable plugins method and was still having the same problems. I believe I have some bad custom css in my theme . I am working with a programmer to remedy any issues. Thanks once again for your time and helping me out. I look forward to being able to use this awesome plugin in then ear future. Cheers! – Cole Mize

ok I just did it but still no luck.

yes I have background manager installed on my wordpress. Should I uninstall it? I tried deactivating it and that’s when I got the black background but my image still wasn’t showing up on my shop page. Does it have to be uninstalled opposed to being deactivated?

Thanks Marj! I corrected the css as you suggested and took term out but still no luck. I’m still trying to find this mysterious code that you pointed out

body.myatu_bgm_body {
  background-color: #010101 !important;
  background-image: none !important;
}

I’ve looked in a lot of my php files and looked through my style.css file and couldn’t find it. Is there any way to do a search for that code? I think I do remember being advised somewhere to add a code in that would override my css to fix my background issue with woocommerce but I can’t find it. I’ve also went through my custom css in my wordpress dashboard and looked through the history and didn’t see it there either. I’m stumped. ?? any ideas?

that’s a good question. I’m using a plugin called custom background manager. I just disabled the plugin and the background is showing black. I am looking into it now. hmmm…

Thanks so much Marj for taking the time to put those screenshots together for me! They were very helpful but i’m still not having any luck. I see what you pointed out about the body class which I had wrong and failed to edit when I copied your code. Here is the code I added into my genesis them style.css

/* Background images for body classes */
body.term archive { background: url(woocommerce/images/shopcms01jpg.jpg) no-repeat scroll 65% 210px; }

body.term post-type-archive { background: url(woocommerce/images/shopcms01jpg.jpg) no-repeat scroll 65% 210px; }

body.term post-type-archive-product { background: url(woocommerce/images/shopcms01jpg.jpg) no-repeat scroll 65% 210px; }

Here are also screen captures I took. Maybe you will see something I’m doing wrong that I am missing. I really appreciate your time for helping someone who couldn’t even spell your name right!

lol I apologize for misspelling your name Marj. I knew that but The J and K are neighbors and sometimes they get mixed up ?? sorry about that. I copied the first code into my themes functions.php file and copied the second group of code into my themes style.css file only using one code since I was only needing once picture as my background and of course I changed the file name to reflect my file name. did I do something wrong? Here is the the code I used in my style.css

/* Background images for body classes */
body.term-children-teens-gifts { background: url(woocommerce/images/shopcms01jpg.jpg)

no-repeat scroll 65% 210px; }

Thanks so much Mark for taking the time to get back with me. I tried the above code and still wasn’t able to get it to work for me. I am using the Genesis wordpress theme and using the Woocommerce wordpress plugin. What i’m trying to accomplish is change the background image that is shown when you click shop. I have been able to change the background for all the other elements in the shop except for the actually shop page. I’m note sure if this was what you was doing or if you was just trying to change the background for the categories. Please let me know, I’m not a coding genus like you guys lol just trying to get my feet wet. Here is a link to the pages background i’m trying to change https://colemizestudios.com/shop/
Thanks for all your help!!

Can anyone help me with this? I would greatly appreciate it.
