Hi there!

Im wondering whether someone can help me put a background picture on the "Please Confirm Your Email Address" Page. At the moment it is white (picture attached) and Id like it to look more like the login page. Actually if I could put the text in a border that would be good too. Any idea where I should start?

Thanks
Katie

you can do that via theme customizer: 


body.ow{

background: green;

}


however it will touch inner pages of the website as well, right under the footer. 



as you can see it's also green under the footer, however you can play around with the margins or just edit the picture in order not to overlap in this area.

Sure :)

Ive attached a pic of my login page. Basically Id like that "Please Confirm Your Email Address" Page to have the same layout as this.

in this case you need to upload an image of such a box in the graphics sections and apply styles like that: 

body.ow{background-image: url('URL TO THE IMAGE') ;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:50px 50px; (change these figures to place a box to the necessary spot)}

Hmm I just tried this and it worked but it also changed the registration page, so Im thinking maybe I wont do it.

In my registration page though I can see the menu header and menu items. Is it possible to put this menu on the "Please Confirm Your Email Address" page?

I just want to spruce up this page abit :)

No, this is custom code modification. As I already noted, this class changes can reflect on other inner pages of the website. Seems like this is custom code modification as well.
