Author’s Site

1.2.10

Updated tested up to version.
Added Contributors.

1.2.9

Fix: When first installed, the plugin was expecting a value to be displayed where none existed, which threw a PHP notice. Plugin now checks to see if the correct value exists before attempting to display it.

1.2.8

Updated tested up to version.

1.2.7

Reverted plugin suggestions from v1.2.6

1.2.6

Updated translation file.
Added suggestions for plugins in relevant contexts.

1.2.5

Detection of the pro version of the plugin did not fully remove this version’s admin menu, which caused paying users to have a confusing experience when clicking on the wrong menu.

1.2.4

Added automatic deactivation when the pro version of this plugin is installed as the two plugins should not be used together.
Automatic deactivation migrates Simple Full Screen Background Image to Pro’s settings so the site’s layout won’t be changed by deactivating the Simple Full Screen Background Image plugin.
Added uninstall.php to clean up when the plugin is deleted.

1.2.3

Included support for Instant Images plugin. This provides users with an easy way to search for and upload images from Unsplash.com locally to their WordPress site. The Instant Images button is now included on the Appearance > Fullscreen BG Image settings page. This requires that the Instant Images plugin be installed and active.

1.2.2

Included alt tag in background image to comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The background image is considered decoration, and so an empty alt tag (i.e. alt=””) is an acceptable way to allow assistive technology to ignore the image.
Update: Improved translatable POT file.
Update: Added subtle upsell (dismissible) messaging in the plugin to inform users of the pro version of this plugin.

1.2.1

Updated contributor/author

Works great in Elementor too

By janportfolio01 on September 13, 2022

The Pro version of this plugin has solved the problem you will still face using the Elementor Pagebuilder and using BG images on mobile and tablet. The free version only shows a BG image global but in the paid version you can choose a certain page or post. Also, the slider function works great within Elementor. I have run into an error CSS prompt message working in Elementor (Chrome and Firefox browser, not in Safari on a Mac) so I have sent a support ticket and got a quick reply from the developer. They took a look at the admin of the side and it was a simple fix. It was a setting in the plugin settings page --> Troubleshooter should be turned off. Problem solved and I would like to thank the support of this great plugin for their help. Sometimes a solution to a problem is in front of your eyes. Great plugin, great support, and the yearly subscription prize is worth the money.

By rmjohn on September 26, 2019

I LOVE the plugin but have sent Contact Us messages twice with no response. My question is account related. I don't want to post details here; actually I shouldn't have to use the review section at all but I cannot find any other contact method. Please respond to my Contact form request. Thank you in advance!

Doesn't work

By Ron the Web Guy (ronthewebguy) on July 26, 2018

Installed this plugin on a new WordPress (recent WP version) install and I see the Fullscreen BG image link in the Appearance menu and when I click on it asks me to Choose Image which I do, then I click the blue Save Options button but NOTHING happens.

Great plugin, exceptional support

By jawill on June 1, 2018

I'm using this plugin for years. Always was a great plugin and still is! The new owner/developer Scott DeLuzio offers absolutely perfect customer service. His technical support is exceptional!

Out of the box

By steveb123 on September 3, 2016

It worked for me perfectly. I upgraded to pro to get simpler control over the pages it appears on. Still having issues with mobiles but I am sure I will find a solution. Useful plugin.
