    Hey guys,

    I am having a hell of a time getting my custom template to display correctly. Currently the background from the main wrapper seems to stick around the middle of my third post:

    Aside from cnaceling out just about everything one at a time and adding auto heights to just about everything, I have played with the “bottom-margin” in the CSS extending it upwards of 300% to fit the content, but I wanted to see if someone could help me with a more flexible solution. I am assuming that the Background is holding to the content prior to importanting the dynamic element from the database. Just an FYI, I am one week old in PHP and wordpress, so my coding isn’t the quite up there yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Orion

  • I can not access aour site, but in your coode i do nat see any background-image in your css.

    Try this in the wrapper-css
    background-image:url(background.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-y;

    Hey CMS,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I had the background set to display black. I tried entering in a black 1×1 image, and it only filled the page down to the same spot as the previous background color.

    I also checked my site and it was up:

    Anyhow, I am stumped on this background deal. Your suggestion was greatly appreciated. Any other info or leads would be great!

    Thanks,

    Hey team,

    I re-read my post, good lord I made some typos… I will excuse it with working for too long on one thing.

    It took me maybe two minutes to resolve the issue, for I asked Travis at the institution I go to, Travis YOUR THE MAN!

    Solution:
    set the background color to black, instead of doing it in the wrapper, so:

    body {
    background-color: #000000;
    }

    Thanks guys, I hope this will help somebody in the future.

    Also for reference I took screen shots of the before and after.
