This tutorial is specifically for the latest version of Squarespace, known as 7.1, and won't work for older versions of Squarespace. For more information, visit https://insidethesquare.co/themes
In this Squarespace tutorial, you'll learn how to use your own image for the background of the header menu (aka main navigation) of your Squarespace website.
We'll use two different images; one for the mobile version of Squarespace and one for the desktop version.
Here are the steps from this tutorial:
Upload the image to your custom files
(Design > Custom CSS > Manage Custom Files)Paste the code below in your Custom CSS
Delete the text image-url
Open your manage custom files
Click on the image you uploaded to add the image URL to your code
Save all your hard work
Here is the code for the desktop version of your site:
.header {
background-image:url('image-url’);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
background-position: center;
}
Here is the code for the mobile version:
@media only screen and (max-width:640px){
.header {
background-image:url('image-url’);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
background-position: center;
}
}
