418 PointsHow do I make a background image dynamic?
Hi, I am currently developing a theme where I want to make my background image (which i declared for my css stylesheet) dynamic in a way that if a user uses it, he/she can put their own backrgound image.
I tried making a custom field/custom post type but I'm afraid I did it wrong.
Can anyone tell me how they would put up a background image section?

WordPress has a native "custom-header" that can be set up in your functions.php and let the user then replace with their own image in the customizer.
I used it when building this mess around site
If you would like the code I used I can send it over ?
