Solved Reduce background opacity on section?

    Hi,

    I am using a vertical menu and want a full page background image slider with a semi transparent overlay for the main content (like at http://www.gpswirral.co.uk/property-for-sale).

    Divi doesn't appear to have the facility for the background image slider so I have installed the RFWB Slider plugin. However, for some reason when I adjust the section background opacity with Divi it remains a solid block of white.

    What am I missing? Any ideas?

    Any help or advice gratefully received.

    Just go to the section settings & change the background color to rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)

    Wow, it worked this time. I really don't know what I was doing wrong because it's obvious. Thanks anyway :)

    Sorry, but this is driving me insane now! I have spent hours and hours on this and can't figure out why it isn't working. I have created new pages with the same settings, duplicated the one page on which it works, cleared the cache, refreshed the page, again and again and again, and still it isn't working :-(

    Why do I always have a solid white background regardless of what I try to do? The URL is the same if you want to check it out.

    This is taking up a serious amount of time and really getting me down so if anybody could offer any advice I would be very grateful.

    It seems like the slider image is not loading.

    When I check the image URL, it wrote: wp-content/uploads/2019/01/bg5.jpg
    When I change it to this & it works: /wp-content/uploads/2019/01/bg5.jpg

    Basically, just add a slash in front of the image URL. Try to see if you can change the slider image URL.
