How to change the background image of the search area

Some of our themes have a large background image behind the search area.

Freshdesk doesn't have an option to upload images using the admin dashboard. That is why it's necessary to upload your image to your main website or a cloud hosting like Amazon S3. Once you have a link to the image, you need to change the corresponding URL in the theme.

Below, you can find instructions on how to change the background image for certain themes.

    .hero-unit {
        background-image: url(https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/breezythemes/barren/pattern.svg);
    }
  5. Replace the URL.
