## Description

This plugin allows you to add and image as background of posts, pages or custom 
post type in general (in the same way as a thumbnail).

 * This is a rewrite of my old plugin [Post Background](https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-background/)
   which I do not have access anymore. *

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin from [here](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-post-background/).
 2. Extract all the files.
 3. Upload everything (keeping the directory structure) to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory.
 4. There should be a `/wp-content/plugins/wp-post-brackground` directory now with `
    wp-post-brackground.php` in it.
 5. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. A box will be added
    to the page edition.

## FAQ

  How it works?

Exactly in the same way that thumbnails works. It includes the `get_the_post_background_src`
function which return the url of the background and the `get_the_post_background_id`
function which return the id of the attachment.

  Do I have embed the same background if I a page inherits its parent background?

No. You can pass true as second parameter on `get_the_post_background_src` function.
