    To add a Background Image to your Profile page:


    • Upload the background image ( that you wish to use) into your album. Make sure the album is Public or Profile.
    • For illustration, please refer this page where i have uploaded the sun flower pictures into my album - Background Image - http://www.indusladies.com/forums/members/laxmi-albums-background-image.html - make a note that the album is "Profile", it could also be "Public" but cannot be "Private"
    • In the customize profile page - http://www.indusladies.com/forums/profile.php?do=customize - under the box "Main" you can notice "Background Image" with this icon [​IMG]click on it and your image will show up.
    • Double click the image and choose the option for "Repeat" and Save.
    • Now you can see that my profile page has got the main background image as this sunflower picture.
    • You can explore for the various block headers with a different or the same background image.

    Hi Laxmi

    I am not able to add the image to the profile page. I followed the steps told by you. But in the customize profile page , under the box "Main" i do not see the "Background Image" with the icon [​IMG]. What could be this due to?? I have set the profile to public.

    The message i get is "Background images must come from your albums. Enter the URL to a picture in one of your public or profile albums".

    I do not understand what does entering the URL to a picture in one of my public album mean? Where should i enter the URL. I am really very confused. pls help me out asap..

    Hi Laxmi,


    I tried setting up the background by providing URL of a picture in my album in customize profile->main-> background image field as " http://www.indusladies.com/forums/m...est-picture4520-plumeria-flower-wallpaper.jpg" but it did not work for me. The album is public.

    Hello Ramya,
    URL of the picture is obtained by following this step:

    • Go to your profile page.
    • Click "Show All Albums" in the "Albums" box
    • Click the picture which you want to add as background till you move to page "Picture 1 of 1 from Album <your album name>"
    • In the above page notice a box "Picture URL" -copy that URL and use it in customize profile page here - http://www.indusladies.com/forums/profile.php?do=customize
    • Point to remember is that the picture should be from a "Public / Profile" album, it cannot be from a "Private" album.

    Hello Mitu,
    The link you seem to have given is not showing any picture, Can you try again with a valid link from this page of your album:

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Laxmi...
    I am not getting my background image. I have tried all the steps mentioned by you and i think the background image should be displayed in the custom page, under main but i am not getting it. Any other way? Or what could be wrong?
