• Hi everybody
    I am trying to set a funky full size image as background of the 404 page in my twentyfourteen-child theme so i put this in style.css:

    .error404 .page-content {
      margin:0;
      padding:0;
      background: url(images/BlnkLight.jpg) no-repeat center fixed;
      -webkit-background-size: cover; /* pour Chrome et Safari */
      -moz-background-size: cover; /* pour Firefox */
      -o-background-size: cover; /* pour Opera */
      background-size: cover; /* version standardisée */
    }

    but it doesn’t work even if the path to mydomain.org/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen-child/images/BlnkLight.jpg brings me straight to the funky image…
    Does anybody have any idea why it doesn’t work?
    Many thanks in advance for your help

  • Hi @tche111,

    The code should work fine but it will only display background image arounf the text content “It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?”.

    To make the image display in the whole background of the 404 page try using the following CSS code.

    .error404 #main {
      margin:0;
      padding:0;
      background: url(./images/BlnkLight.png) no-repeat center fixed;
      -webkit-background-size: cover; /* pour Chrome et Safari */
      -moz-background-size: cover; /* pour Firefox */
      -o-background-size: cover; /* pour Opera */
      background-size: cover; /* version standardisée */
    }

    If the above code also doesn’t work for you then please share us your site URL so we can troubleshoot it.

    Hi and many thanks for the answer!
    Actually I managed to make it appear by creating a new class and by adding the position (relative) and a min-height as per following:
    Style.css:

    main-404 {
      margin:0;
      padding:400px 600px 50px 50px;
      background: url("mysuperwebsite/.../images/BlnkLight.jpg") no-repeat center fixed;
      -webkit-background-size: cover; /* pour Chrome et Safari */
      -moz-background-size: cover; /* pour Firefox */
      -o-background-size: cover; /* pour Opera */
      background-size: cover; /* version standardisée */
      height: 1300px;
      position: relative;
    }

    404.php

    <?php
    /**
     * The template for displaying 404 pages (Not Found)
     *
     * @package WordPress
     * @subpackage Twenty_Fourteen
     * @since Twenty Fourteen 1.0
     */
    
    get_header(); ?>
    <div id="main-404">
    				<span class="emphase_hugewhite">404</br></span>
    <span class="emphase_mediumwhite">?a n'a pas marché cette fois</br> mais vous pouvez réessayer!!!</span>
    
    				<?php get_search_form(); ?>
    </div>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    What do you think of this? Should I adapt it or can we set the topic as solved?
    Sincerely,
    Tche
