I’m interested in doing the same. I’m exploring this _s theme as a starter…

underscores.me

…and wondering where I’d put this code. If I put it in the functions.php file, I’d have to modify it, right?

Anybody out there have any idea about this?

Nice! Thanks!

Huh. I used all of that code because Dreamhost seemed to suggest it was all necessary…

In the code you posted, it looks like WordPress appended the
tags at the end of each line—that wasn’t in the code I put in there. I left all the hidden fields but just deleted the line breaks in the html editor and that seemed to solve the problem. Added some inline CSS and took out the name field and input text (which isn’t necessary) and everything looks like I wanted it.

Thanks jhoffm34!

Also, if it helps, I’ve built this theme as a child theme for Thematic.

Thanks songdogtech. But I was emailing with a guy from my hosting service and somehow the permission settings were off for the image. I don’t know how that happened. He fixed the setting and now everything is working correctly. But I would like to correct the things you mention. This is the first time I’ve used jQuery and I struggled with trying to get help in the Thematic forums until this code worked. In the functions.php file, this is what I have…

//Background
function background() { ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery.backstretch.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://marconiband.com/wp-content/themes/marconi/js/jquery.backstretch.min.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.backstretch("https://marconiband.com/wp-content/themes/marconi/images/background1.jpg", {speed: 300});
});
</script>
<?php }
add_action('thematic_before', 'background');

How would you modify it?

Fixed it! Reading the error closer, I went into my theme’s functions.php and there was white space in line 27. I deleted it and now everything works fine. Weird.

I’m new to details like this. Hopefully this is helpful to someone else.

Thanks so much. That’s great.

Thanks a lot. So am I just adding this to an .htaccess file that is already in there or am I creating a whole new file and putting it in the uploads folder? I was trying to do the latter, but your description makes me think I should do the former.

I don’t really want to add another program to make this file. I run OSX anyway, so that software would require even more software to even run it.

The only solution I’ve found is to save it as something else like _htaccess, upload it, and then change the name through my FTP client. Is that an okay option?

Also, I still have questions about the coding. Is this really all I have to write in the file for it to work how I want it to?

Options -Indexes

Thanks!

Thanks! That did it!

Thanks a bunch! That’s great. It’s mostly working. I changed the position to fixed and the overflow to auto so it will stay static and still scroll for the content. But I think I’m missing something with the whole #page stuff. Only the navigation bar is showing. Not the header, sidebar, or posts or pages. My theme doesn’t appear to have the id=page anywhere and when I tried to put a div around the index.php code with id=page nothing showed up.

What now?

Here is the site for more clarification…

Thanks!

I want to do this too. Where would I insert that code? In the sidebar.php file in the wp-admin folder?

As for doing rollovers, would I do that all in CSS?

Thanks so much.
