Background Not Showing On Comments Page?

ermm. I use FF 2.0.1

I see a terribly blinding purple background on both the front page and the comments page. The purple background is where it ought to be on the comments page, imo, since your text is unreadable on the front page. In contrast to what youve said above.

The white that you speak of, if I seeing what you see, is a good thing, since you can actually read the posts.

Because of that, Im not going to comment on your “problem” since If im understanding, you want that purple background behind the actual text on your other pages as well?

No. The purple/black savelindsay background is supposed to be in the far background, then there is supposed to be a background image that is basically a light pink under the text area. The coding for that background works on all the pages in Internet Explorer except the comment page, but not in Firefox at all. I don’t know why that background doesn’t show up in Firefox. Thats part 2 of my problem. I want that light pink background to appear on all the pages in the text area in both IE and Firefox. In IE it works for every page but the comment page, in Firefox it works on no pages.

I’d suggest starting over with your theme. Start with a clean ready to run theme. It is a mess right now and unreadable. There are hundreds of themes that might start closer to what you want.

:s
I don’t think I have the patience or time to start over. I would think that something like a background image would be easy to fix, but I’m no CSS expert so I don’t know. Thanks though.

Not having the time is my point. You’d spend a lot less time starting with something that works then fixing what is there now. Backgrounds are easy.
But that ‘splains a lot though. good luck anyway.

ok, I looked at your CSS. While as I am typing this, I still havent found the pink image that you are trying to put behind the text, I did notice this:

/* Begin Typography & Colors */
body {
	font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
	font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
	background: black url('images/llbg.jpg');

You are saying to use a background that exists here:

https://www.savelindsay.com/images/llbg.jpg

Click that, and you will see that there is no image there.

Thats the body background — that purple thing, its actually here:

https://www.savelindsay.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/llbg.jpg

Click that, and you will see it.

The same problem exists with your header image, and yet I see both of them in Firefox.

—

> Open your site in Firefox.
> Right click immediately above your first image in your first post.
> click “show background image”

See what I see?

Thats what appears. Its also there when you “view page info” and then look at the media tab.

I dont know what youve done honestly, but maybe that will help in some way.

Thanks. That helped some. I got it so there is a white background in both IE and Firefox now, except on the comment page I can’t get a background in either browser. Do you possibly know which file I may need to edit to affect the comment page?

When I go to the comment page and view source it has this in the coding:

#page { background: url(“https://www.savelindsay.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg”)

no-repeat bottom center; }

And even though that image is uploaded, it doesn’t seem to want to access it. So I was wondering how I could change that so it would just link to the style sheet…but I don’t know what file that coding is found in.

Sorry. I’m so new at all this.
