Background image disappears in posts

    Hello all…

    I’m pretty new to modifying CSS and WP, but I’d say I’m fairly proficient. Anyway, I started my blog about 10 days ago and am using the Atahualpa theme. I have a .gif set as my background with a transparent header .gif overlayed.

    Anyway, I was having permalink issues this weekend, which appear to be resolved now. However, since the issue was resolved, my background image no longer appears on my post pages. The CSS shows the .gif as set for the background, but again, no dice when it comes to my posts.

    Anyone have a clue why this might be? I have no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I suppose it would help if I included my website, huh?

    It’s

    Sorry about that. Thanks again in advance.

    I can’t be sure but make sure you have your background=url”blahblahblah.gif” in the ‘body, text & links’, ‘Layout’, and ‘Post/Page Styling’ theme options tabs..

    see if that changes anything..

    Here’s what I have in my “Body Style” box under the “Body, Text & Links” tab:

    font-family: verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    font-size: 1.0em;
    color: #000000;
    background: #ffcc00;
    background-image:url(images/fixed.gif);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-position:top;
    I mean, it looks fine on the main page…just doesn’t show up on the posts. Weird.

    I figured out the problem. It all has to do with relative and not absolute links. I changed from the url directory to the exact location in the CSS code…meaning I went from

    background-image:url(images/fixed.gif);

    to

    background-image:url(https://www.midwestrock.org/broadcastoutcast/images/fixed.gif)

    Now it works.
