  • Have you tried Conditional Tags?

    hi there….
    sorry have been busy and not checking reply to my post…i do not understand how conditional tags will allow for me to put a different background image on the archive pages for the different categories..but i will look into and install it and see what happens….

    PS
    is there a plugin for that?

    Hi rusty.2000,

    Probably the best way to accomplish this is to create a child theme for sliding door.

    Once you have that set up, in the style.css file you can add rules like this:
    body.category-projects-pastimes { background: url(images/image.jpg); }

    View the source of each of the archive pages to find out which body class you should hook into.
