The 5-Minute Guide to Adding a Background to Your Kartra Membership
We all want our Kartra membership site i.e. course, to reflect our style and branding.
But styling your membership sites can be a little tricky.
You can choose from their style presets but you can only choose from a set number of colours and layouts.
Adding just a background can really improve the look of your membership site.
Unfortunately, Kartra does not allow any membership-wide styling at the moment (November 2020), but you can achieve this by adding a bit of custom code to each of the pages in your membership course.
You can also have a different background for each unit.

Very Important Before You Start
Because Kartra does not offer membership-wide styling yet, you will have to add the Code Block described in the last steps to every module you have in your course.
So decide now if you think having a background is important enough.
Step 1 — Upload Your Image
Upload your image to your Kartra Membership Files area.
Step 2 — Get Your Image’s Link
Once you have uploaded your image, you will need a link to the image.
Click the left-most circle (highlighted with red) to view the link for your image.
Step 3 — Add a Custom CSS Block to the Lesson
In the membership editor, we’ll need to add a Custom Code block.
Don’t worry, I’ll show you the custom CSS for the block next.
Once the custom code block is added, you will need to edit it and add this CSS to it.
<style>body {
background-image: url("<the link for your image from Step 2 goes here>");background-size: 100% auto;
background-repeat: repeat-y;}
</style>
Important: The background-size and background-repeat will stretch your image to fit the width of the screen, but will tile the image vertically.
Otherwise, the image can become distorted if it is not big enough.
That’s it.
