[SOLVED] bloginfo() fails

What would prevent the php function bloginfo from working correctly? The following line in ATO > Body, Text & Links > Body Style fails to fill the page background with the image file:

Code:

background: #AAFFAA url('<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/cslbackground.gif') repeat-x top left;

When I check the source code for the page as displayed, it shows this where the background style should be:

Code:

background: #AAFFAA url('<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/cslbackground.gif') repeat-x top left;

I tried putting

Code:

<?php bloginfo('show'); ?>

in the text of a new page and previewing the page; nothing is displayed.

I just got done fixing the Suhosin blank page issue. Is this related?

My environment: Wordpress 3.1 & Atahualpa 3.6.4.

Thanks...

That has to do with the required use of stream wrappers. You need to use a relative path such as shown by the example above the Body Style box.

I am not sure I follow you, Larry. Are you saying that it is not possible to use the bloginfo() function in the Body Style option?

Thanks...

Yes... there some php code doesn't work as it used to because of changes to the WordPress requirements although I am not sure that the code you are trying ever worked in that area. I would just use as the example shows... A relative path

HTML Code:

background: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa364/images/backgr.gif) repeat top left;

Thanks for the clarification, Larry. At least I do not have to bang my head against this particular wall any longer.
