Background image does not show

Hi @vivbounty,

I’m not sure what you mean by background images, and are you referring to just the subscribe form?

Maybe, do you have a link showing the widget in the sidebar, so I can compare?

Ta, Todd

Hi @vivbounty, any update on the above?

Hi Todd. Just going to check the site I made for client.

Have been away offline. Apologies for delay.

On this page. The very bottom form:
https://vivbounty.info/thosbartlettsample/subscribe/

OK right, so you mean you want the black background behind the form?

If so I think you can do this with this custom CSS

div.post .widgets_on_page table tr.alt td {
  background: transparent;
}

You can probably add this using the Custom CSS feature of the customiser.
Does this make sense?

Hi Todd

Tried that and it didn’t work.

I think I may try to just use a side bar as the whole width of a page.

Thanks for trying though.

Hello again, Todd.

Re-read your response above and have now pasted my code into a sidebar.

Check this page here instead.

Funny the image does not show in Widgets-On-Pages, but now I notice, the captcha image does not show in the sidebar.

Can you see any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Vivienne

Hi @vivbounty,

Just had a look and I think the issue with the captcha is perhaps to so with the fact you have the two forms now on the page.

If you wish, the PRO version of the plugin comes with PRO support, and perhaps with that we could work through this together. If not, that’s fine, I can try to assist on here still… note using the CSS I mentioned I was able to achieve what you’re after.

Todd

Hi Todd,

I have a form in the side bar and one on the page. Is that what you mean by 2 forms on the page?

Sorry I didn’t understand what you mean by “I think the issue with the captcha is perhaps to so”. Are you saying the captcha affects the background image?

Here again is the page I created for us to test this. https://vivbounty.info/thosbartlettsample/testing-ar-form/

The captcha shows in your widgets on pages but the background image does not. In the side bar I am using a regular WP widget which comes with my theme. I’m not worried about the one in the sidebar, but you say that you pasted my form code in a widgets on pages widget somewhere with the css insert and managed to get the background image with the people on the beach to show? I have inserted the css as you have it above and it does not work for me.

Hi again Todd.

I think my theme background colour is affecting the background of the table. Having a black background on the page (centre column of whole site) might conflict with then choosing a background image within a table on that page (whole site background is black).

Where you tested, did you have a background colour in your site?

I think this is the issue… perhaps I misunderstood what you’re after, I thought you were after the black background. Are you saying this is not what you’re after.
Do you think you could upload an image of what it should look like?

Hi Todd,

Yes my whole site has a black background. I wish to keep that black background but also want to have my image within a table show. I have now managed to tweak the background rules for tables within my theme and now have a repeating image in the form which I am now trying to find a fix for.

OK Todd. Thanks so much for your patience. Theme settings fixed it.
Have a great evening.
