Hi Zorab

It is not possible to use a Types field as the source of an image if you try to set the background image on a Divi module using Divi's own options.

Here's how you can get it to work.

You'll need to know the CSS selector for the element you want the background image to appear on, e.g. the class .et_pb_row_0

Then, insert a text module, and add a style element to that text module containing a CSS rule to add the background image, using the wpv-post-field shortcode to output the Types image field URL.

See my screenshot for an example of how to do that.

Note you may want to add additional CSS rules relating to positioning of the background image, see hidden link
