"I have changed the colors and uploaded my background image already. As I was trying to add some codes on my CSS Page, my background image disappeared! How was that possible? How do I add any code? I'm using Custom Theme (Custom Colors). Please help!"


This is a frequent scenario for beginners using the theme mentioned who are trying to add codes to "tweak" or modify their pages. As you see, the background image code is not viewable via the CSS Page when you are using the said theme.

There is a way to avoid losing your background image and still be able to add/change/subtract codes from your CSS Page. Just READ carefully and follow the instructions on how you could be able to do that.

NOTE: DO NOT ADD ANY CODES "YET" ON YOUR CSS PAGE! Expect that you will lose your background image if you do so before doing the steps below.

• Go to your Home Page (http://YOUR_USERNAME.multiply.com).

• If you are using Firefox:
• Click: View > Page Source

• if you are using IE:
• Click: Page > View Source

• Either way, a new window will open that contains HTML Codes.

• The very First codes look similar to the codes below (Page Source of Multiply Republic):

• Look for the link similar to the bold link in the example.

• Copy that and paste it in the address bar.

• This will display your FULL CSS Codes including the codes for the uploaded image you are using as background.

• Now, copy and paste all the codes in any word processing application (like Notepad) and save it (optional - for future reference).

• Go to your CSS Page and delete all the codes in that page.

Instructions on going to the CSS Page:

Go to your Home Page. (http://YOUR_USERNAME.multiply.com)
Click "Customize My Site" (found on the upper right area, below the heading)
On the "drop-down" menu that appears at the Top, select "Custom CSS"

• Copy the NEW codes that you have in your word processing application and paste it on your CSS Page.

• Click Save.

• Nothing should be different on your page. UNLESS you have done something wrong or accidentally added some characters on the CSS..

Having done that, you are now free to add any codes in your CSS Page without losing your background image! Remember that you only need to do this once! After that, adding/editing and subtracting CSS Codes without losing your uploaded background is not a problem anymore!
