Overview
Simple Full Screen Background Image will allow you to easily upload and set a full screen image as the background of your website. Images will be automatically scaled with the browser, so regardless of the browser size, the image will always fill the screen, even as the browser is resized live.
Once activated, go to Appearance > Fullscreen BG Image. From here click Choose Image, then either upload from your computer or choose one from the media library. Once you have chosen your image, select the size you wish to insert and click Insert Into Post. A preview of your image will appear below. Now click Save Options
and view your site. The image should now be applied as a full screen background image.
Go Pro!
A greatly enhanced Pro version is available! Features of the pro version include:

Works great in Elementor too
by janportfolio01·3 years ago
The Pro version of this plugin has solved the problem you will still face using the Elementor Pagebuilder and using BG images on mobile and tablet. The free version only shows a BG image global but in the paid version you can choose a certain page or post. Also, the slider function works great within Elementor.
I have run into an error CSS prompt message working in Elementor (Chrome and Firefox browser, not in Safari on a Mac) so I have sent a support ticket and got a quick reply from the developer. They took a look at the admin of the side and it was a simple fix. It was a setting in the plugin settings page –> Troubleshooter should be turned off. Problem solved and I would like to thank the support of this great plugin for their help. Sometimes a solution to a problem is in front of your eyes. Great plugin, great support, and the yearly subscription prize is worth the money.
