Symmetry Theme Newsletter Background Change Request

[MexicanSquatch]

Hi all, I currently use the Symmetry theme and would like to change the Newletter section background from a solid color to a photo. There's no native option in the theme settings so I'm guessing it has to be coded in. Would any of you be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks so much.

Do you mean in the edit theme. 

Yes, you can paste it here also. 

So you can see directly the changes/.

Hi @MexicanSquatch 

Would you mind to share your store URL? Thanks!

Thanks for the info, check this one. 

From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on "Online Store" and then "Themes".

Find the theme that you want to edit and click on "Actions" and then "Edit code".

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:

div#section-id-template--17787979530530__fe650af9-6906-4e23-a99e-4b934ad238a5 {
    background-image: url('https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0578/8903/0244/files/cloudy-sky-from-above.jpg?v=1707556592');
  background-size: cover; 
  background-position: center;
}

And Save.

Result:

Note; the image attach if example only. 

div#section-id-template--17787979530530__fe650af9-6906-4e23-a99e-4b934ad238a5 {
    background-image: url('paste-image-path here');
  background-size: cover; 
  background-position: center;
}

Be sure not the delete some signs.

It has a Custom CSS Style option on the Newsletter section. Would it be better to use that or directly in the theme code?

Perfect. That worked great. Thank you!

Wanted to follow up. I noticed when I put the code:

div#section-id-template--17787979530530__fe650af9-6906-4e23-a99e-4b934ad238a5 {

    background-image: url('https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0676/0778/9858/files/El_Rancho_Maguey_Newsletter.jpg?v=1713566632');

  background-size: cover;

  background-position: center;

}

in the CSS section of the newsletter it does work and change to what I want. But a problem arises in that when you click the suscribe button instead of popping up "thank you a verification email has been sent" popup it just refreshes the entire page. I emailed the developers but they say they don't work with custom code and referred me to a paid service. Any advice?

I do see this message when I hover over the code in the CSS section: " "div#section-id-template--17787979530530__fe650af9-6906-4e23-a99e-4b934ad238a5" does not appear to be used in this section. Try a different selector"

Try tho change on this selector. 

.container.strongly-padded-row.align-center.cc-animate-init.-in.cc-animate-complete {
    background-image: url('https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0578/8903/0244/files/cloudy-sky-from-above.jpg?v=1707556592');
  background-size: cover; 
  background-position: center;
    max-width: 100%;
}

And Save.
