When we say “page background“, we are referring to the overall page, not the content area. For example, here is a screenshot where the page background is using a photo and the page width is using a boxed setting of 1600px.
Note The screenshot shows the background of the pro version which is available for Emotions Lite as well:
Depending on the boxed size you are using, or length of page content, your page background may not show. For example, if your boxed size is full width, then only short pages will show part of the background, but if your page content is very long, then you won’t see the background.
