## Descripción

**Featured Background** is a lightweight WordPress plugin that lets you set a custom
background image for specific posts or pages using the built-in featured image functionality.
Now enhanced with expanded options for customization, parallax effects via CSS, 
overlay colors, custom post type support, Gutenberg sidebar integration, and UI 
improvements.

#### Key Features

 * **Expanded Background Options**: Customize position, repeat, size, attachment,
   and fallback color.
 * **Parallax Effect**: Simple CSS-based parallax (using fixed attachment) with 
   an optional toggle.
 * **Overlay Color and Opacity**: Add a semi-transparent overlay for better text
   readability.
 * **Custom Post Type Support**: Enable the meta box on any public CPT via a settings
   page.
 * **Gutenberg Integration**: Dedicated plugin sidebar in the block editor for seamless
   configuration.
 * **UI Improvements**: Added "Remove Image" button and live preview in the meta
   box.
 * **Simple Integration**: Easily upload or select an image via the WordPress media
   library.
 * **Automatic CSS Injection**: Injects inline CSS into the header with options 
   applied to the `body` element.
 * **Admin Preview**: Live preview in the editor.
 * **Secure and Efficient**: Nonces, sanitization, conditional enqueuing.
 * **Clean Uninstall**: Removes all data on deletion.
 * **Modern Compatibility**: Tested with WordPress 6.8.2 and PHP 8+.

Ideal for personalizing backgrounds per page. The CSS includes comments for identification.

## FAQ

### Why isn’t the background showing?

Check image selection, save the post, and theme conflicts—some themes may override
body backgrounds with their own CSS. Clear your browser cache and test with a default
theme like Twenty Twenty-Four.

### How do I enable on custom post types?

Go to Settings > Featured Background and select them from the list of public post
types.

### Does this work with Gutenberg?

Yes, via a dedicated sidebar panel in the block editor.

### How does the parallax work?

It’s a simple CSS effect using `background-attachment: fixed` when toggled on.

### Can I adjust the overlay?

Yes, choose the color and opacity (0-1) directly in the editor.

### How do I remove the image?

Use the "Remove Image" button in the meta box or Gutenberg sidebar.

### Does the plugin collect data?

No, it doesn’t track usage or collect personal data. All settings are stored locally
in your database as post meta.
