do I put in a width and height 100%? I thought the no repeat, etc would have made it do this.

I removed some weird ‘ ‘ from it and replaced it- with simple ‘ ‘ and now I have the graphic in a tile format. I would like it to be centered and only one of them that expands the entire body. I am just looking for the rays of the sun to come equally thru the background edges.

It is about 60% down on that page, and I see some weird symbols around the image.

/* This line adds your custom background graphic */
body.custom {
background: #000 url(â€˜images/background.jpgâ€™) 50% 0%; no-repeat; margin: 0 auto;
}

.custom #container {
margin-top: 2em;
margin-bottom: 2em;
}

.custom #page {
background: #fff;
}

I checked and your custom.css file doesn’t have any css included in it.

http://preforeclosuretours.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_16/thesis_16/custom/custom.css

You’ll need to save that file with the CSS mentioned above, and then it should work for you.

Thank you – I used this code successfully, but all of a sudden my background image is no longer loading on the site I am working on ( http://healthandnaturalmedicine.com ).

The ONLY change that I made was to add the following to my thesis custom styling to change the background color of the multimedia box:

.custom #custom_box { background: #ede8ca; }

I tried removing the line, but it didn’t make a difference. My background is gone, even though the code is still at the top of my custom.css file.

Have you any suggestions on how to fix this? I would be very appreciative!!

If you post a problem, and then say you figured it out, the decent thing to do is to post the solution as well.
