wp-layout and image

  • I’m trying to include an image in my css. I am pretty sure I have the coding correct; I have the image in the appropriate directory but it’s still not displaying. Maybe I did something wrong…
    body {
    background-image: url(“wp-images/sky.jpg”);
    and my background image is in the wp-images area of my wordpress directory. Any ideas what I’m doing incorrectly?
    Thanks.

    Never mind; I figured it out.
    background: #color needs to be replaced with background: url(wp-images/sky.jpg)
    I didn’t know there was a conflict between background and background-image, and that background-image is not used.
    Could someone please explain why we can’t use background-image and background? Maybe it’s not necessary to have both. It’s just that normal css allows us to use both.

    I’ve been killing myself trying to get the background to change from the standard default gray to my own image. But nothing I do seems to change it, even changing the name to background:

    Here’s what I have now-

    body {<br />
    background: url('https://www.dihybridcross.com/propaganda/wp-content/themes/jtronvariation1/images/background.jpg');<br />
    font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */<br />
    font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;<br />
    color: #333;<br />
    text-align: center<br />
    }

    I’ve tried about a dozen variations of that, including putting the background tag in different places. Most of the time I can’t get the page to change at all, let alone get it to do what I want it to do?

    bracket missing on the url. Plus W3C spec requires color before url in case img does not load.
