Background Image Not Displaying

do you still have this problem? i see a background image in your site back1.gif

Hello – Yes I am still having this problem. I have tried viewing it in Explorer, Chrome and Firefox and cannot see it. I finally got FTP access so I am going to see if I can take a better look at the files specifically, I am going to try and find the one indicated above, i.e.:

‘background-image:none’

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. What browser are you using? Thanks so much. -Beth

i’m sorry is that the image ? back1.gif?

its working fine in all browsers, make sure that no plugins like ad blocker etc are blocking your images.

if i’m not mistaken Styles is not required to change the bg image.

Hello, Thank you for your help. I was looking at the site and at one point I did see an Ad pop-up, at first I thought this was a browser issue, but I didn’t have anything in my browsers that looked like that. Then I looked in the wordpress plugins and I haven’t seen anything like that either. So I now can access the files through a file management system as I was trying to find the file where ‘background-image:none’ and that is where I am at.

So, I was just curious are you seeing the big T in a light grey through the page? I see it running on the left hand side of the page, but not like the background on the page at:

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. -Beth

this is how it looks

Thank you so much. That is very helpful. Right now when I am in Firefox I am getting an add. See:

So, I am not sure if this is in my Firefox Browser or something on the server? In my other browsers I am seeing the background but it only displays on the left side. When I read through some other posts, videos, etc. they said something about the main color of the blog lays on top of the background image, so I went through file after file and changed the color to transparent, but that didn’t work. Even in your screen shot it displays on the left and right hand sides of the screen but not on the whole page like at:

I guess it could be something simple, but so far I haven’t gotten it right. Any ideas? Thanks so much. -Beth

the ad is something you only see,

to center this background you ll need a css rule like this

body { background-image:no-repeat; }
body, #page { background:transparent !important;}

you should add this code at the bottom of your style.css file, although am not sure what you want to do exactly.

Thank you dimitris33, I know that I am having browser problems, but I did get rid of that ad. Horrible. Now I am not sure if it is me, the server or the way wordpress is installed.

I did add the code that you gave to the end of the themes style.css code and when I look at it through the WordPress interface to publish the background display is “I think” transparent, but when I open up a new window in Explorer and Firefox the background is white. So I think the wordpress software interface may be in part transparent. I am not sure. I do get what you are posting to some degree.

What I am trying to do is make it so that the image back1.gif displays in the background of the wordpress site to visitors. Like it displays in the background of the website at:

https://www.ttahoe.com/index.htm

which I am seeing correctly in Explorer and Firefox. Or See:

I really appreciate your help!! Thank you Again.

i dont think that you can do the two sites exactlty the same,

i see that you added the code i gave you but it does not work as expected,

try to remove the body from this rule

body, #page { background:transparent !important;}

make it like this

#page { background:transparent !important;}

you should see the image now in the center of your page, once, if you wanted repeated you can change the other rule

body { background-image:repeat-x; }

Thank you so much. That first line did fix it. I am so happy! I can’t get the image to repeat down the page. I think that you may have helped many, many people!!

Actually, the repeat vertically down the page, I was able to edit in the Themes’ template. Some things work and others just don’t. Thank you so much!!

What I did was Go to the Twenty Eleven Themes Dashboard

Then go to “Appearance”

Then go to “Background”

Then go to “Background Image”

then select:
Background Repeat
then check Tile Vertically

Is it that by adding the code to the end of the style sheet it then overwrites any other settings that are listed before it, whether that code is working or not? I did try to edit a few other sections and while the system said the file was updated, when I went back to look at the code, it never did update. Only the bottom code that you had me add worked. Very strange. THANK YOU!!!

: ) , you’re welcome, glad it worked.
