    Hey there,

    I’ve created a own theme in wordpress and i use the 3.6.1 version.

    https://cms.cheapconnect.net/?page_id=51 this is the website i am building now, but as you can see the background image keeps on repeating. I dont want it to repeat how can i do this?

    I have aldready tried this: body {
    background: #000 url(‘https://www.cheapconnect.net/images/bg_top2.gif’) no-repeat;

    }

    but the background then changes in black. and if i delete the ‘#000’ it changes to white

    could someone help me pleas?

    ps. i am building the website nog so dont judge bout the looks yet ??

  • background: transparent url('https://www.cheapconnect.net/images/bg_top2.gif') no-repeat center top;

    I suggest using FireBug for css debugging, if installed in FireFox you can use right mouse click on an element and analyze it, modify and preview the css on the fly…

    Chrome has its equivalent (but with less features) of firebugging: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/

    As I can see the recommended CSS has worked, please clear your browser’s cache.

    let me try to explain this haha,

    when you look at this website https://www.cheapconnect.net/nl/tarieven.php. you see the background, the color is gray/silver but there is only 1 white ‘faded’ line.. when you look on my website you see the white line multiple times. take a look in the ‘tarieven’ (https://cms.cheapconnect.net/?page_id=51) menu, you will see what i mean

    The website you want to replicate has the background image repeating on the X axis (horizontally) and then sets a default grey colour as well.

    To replicate this you would add:

    body {
  background: #e2e2e2 url(https://www.cheapconnect.net/images/bg_top2.gif) top repeat-x;
}
