HELP NEEDED! Testimonial Section Image Background? Any Help Will Be Tremendously Appreciated!

Store Design

Topic summary

A user seeks help adding background images to individual testimonial items on their Shopify store (Motion theme). They want each testimonial to have its own background image that adjusts to the testimonial’s sizing, rather than applying one image to the entire section.

Solution Provided:

  • Upload the desired image to the theme’s Asset folder
  • Navigate to: Online Store → Theme → Edit code
  • Open Asset/theme.css
  • Add CSS code at the bottom targeting .testimonials-section with background properties (url, no-repeat, cover, center)

The original poster confirmed the solution works perfectly.

Here is the image of the section I am mentioning. I am looking to add individual images to each testimonial, not the entire section background. If possible, I am looking for the images uploaded to be able to adjust to the sizing of the testimonials. Really will appreciate any help given, thank you in advance!

I am looking to add a background image onto the “Talk About Brand” section on my website. I was wondering if you can explain and could provide me code + instructions on how to do so. I would really appreciate it!

I am looking to add individual images to each other sections aswell so a longer explanation would be better.

I am not able to add images to all the sections through the Custom CSS section.

Really will appreciate any help given, thank you in advance!
