Custom Background in Platform Pro

[catch22 0]

Hello everyone, very new to Wordpress and any type of customization. I'm trying to put in a custom background that does not repeat. I have searched the forum and tried the following code entered into the Custom CSS section: body.fixed_width {background:url("http://bluecanister.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/BCS_WebBkgrnd.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent!important;} Nothing changes on the site. url is bluecanister.com Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Try this code and add it to the base.css file in Platform Base instead:

body {background-image: {url('http://URLFORYOURIMAGEHERE'); background-repeat: no-repeat;}

Catrina, Thanks for the response. Dumb question, but where do I find the bass.css file?

correction: base.css

The problem is that you're not using fixed width mode, so the correct css selector would be this : ` body #page { background: URL('http://bluecanister.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/BCS_WebBkgrnd.jpg') no-repeat scroll 0 0; } `

Thanks Adam. Tried the code but it just turns the entire page the color of the footer. No background image is displayed. Do you have any more suggestions? Thanks.

Brian, the image url is probably incorrect.... its returning a 404 when I visit it.

Are you referring to the white background that "lies underneath" everything else?
