Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Custom Background Changer lets you control the background of every post and page individually. Go far beyond plain colors with beautiful CSS gradients, full-screen background images, translucent color overlays, and looping MP4 video backgrounds — all from a premium tabbed settings panel right inside the post editor.

  • Solid Color – Pick any background color via the color picker.
  • CSS Gradient – Pick two colors and an angle to generate a smooth linear gradient.
  • Background Image – Upload an image with full control over attachment, repeat, position, and size (including cover/contain).
  • Color Overlay – Add a translucent color layer on top of your image or video to improve text readability.
  • MP4 Video Background – Set a looping, auto-playing, muted video as your page background.

  • Secure – All input is sanitized. All output is properly escaped. Nonce-protected saves.
