Hi @technase ,

To do this you need this one code. You need to change the URL where your Image is. 

1. From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on "Online Store" and then "Themes".
2. Find the theme that you want to edit and click on "Actions" and then "Edit code".
3. In the "Assets" folder, click on "base.css, style.css or theme.css" file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
4. And Save.

footer.site-footer {
    background-image: url('path/to/your/image.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
}

I hope it help.

I'm trying to apply this to the Dawn Theme and it's not working. Wondering if there is an update to this or something I'm missing. I'm following the directions. Applying it to the base.css. thank you Jenn

Hello @technase ,

You can try to follow these steps:

Go to Online Store -> Themes -> Actions -> Edit code

Go to Assets folder -> base.css file -> add this following code at the bottom:

.footer-section {
  background-image: url('path/to/your/image.jpg');
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
}

Save and preview 

Hope this can help.

Is there a way to customize opacity of the footer background after installing it?
