Hello. We’re having tremendous dificulties in figuring out how the Single Post BG Featured Image element works. We obviously intend to use a post’s featured image as a background to a row — not being able to do it natively in the row’s settings themselves. But we cannot figure out how the element works: once dragged into the editor, dragging other elements on top of it doesn’t seem to be allowed. And there isn’t a tutorial anywhere to be found, as far as we could see. Could the support staff or someone post a detailed tutorial on how to achieve this? Thank you so much.
Hi,
You could check out some templates that use the background featured image in the way that you mentioned, to see how they are made. Like these ones:

Basically in a row you add the single background featured image element and set a height for it -> https://prnt.sc/gtEttq_j0Nf4
Then inside that same row you add an inner row with the elements you want, and activate the absolute position for the inner row -> https://prnt.sc/z6-mr7WuOmJr and position it top or center or bottom. This way the inner row is positioned over the background image.
If you want to achieve a specific design and you can’t use any of the ready made post templates, I can help with it. You can send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to the website and admin login, also details or examples about the design you want.
Or, you could import a ready made template that looks the closest to your requirements, and customize that one instead of building it from scratch.
Thank you!
Wonderful explanation. Particularly the “absolute position” setting did most of the trick. Thank you. This would all be a lot easier if rows allowed setting featured images instead of fixed images.
