How to change background image without changing header and center part?

body {background: url(https://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx310/jmaciula/FDS-Green-Spring-Yellow-Spots.jpg) repeat;}

Works for me. Link your site if it’s still not working.

Is it showing just plain white still. I can’t seem to get the background to change.

Thanks!

contrary to what you posted in your question, the style.css has a space between url and the bracket ( which seems to stop the style to be applied.

background: url(https://i766.phot.........

the theme output of the background style (embedded in the head section):
body.custom-background { background-image: url('https://www.jamimac.com/word........
is not applied because there is no body_class() output in the theme.

I changed it to this:
background: url (https://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx310/jmaciula/FDS-Green-Spring-Yellow-Spots.jpg) repeat;

and it still didn’t apply. Is that what you meant?

I meant in style.css:

body {
	background: url (https://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx310/jmaciula/FDS-Green-Spring-Yellow-Spots.jpg) repeat;
	color: ##88effb;

remove the space character directly after url

Ok, I did that too. It’s still not working. Am I doing something else wrong? Thanks so much!

the background image is there; you might need to reload the web page or clear the browser cache to see the result;

during the editing you included a mistake by closing the style of ‘body’ after the repeat; in the background line;

this is how it should look like:

body {
	background: url(https://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx310/jmaciula/FDS-Green-Spring-Yellow-Spots.jpg) repeat;
	color: ##88effb;
	font-size: 14px;
	font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
	line-height: 20px;
	margin: 0px auto 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	}

Really, does it look like yellow and white polka dots? I can’t see it, only white. How do I clear the cache?
Thanks!

I just opened Safari and looked and I do see it, but now my middle white part, where the posts go is off to the left. How do I fix that?

Actually, I think it’s working now. Thank you! Is there a way to make my header larger and put a picture in it?
