I've uploaded a background image to the appropriate folder.

here is what my input box looks like:

font-family: arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.8em;
line-height: 1.6em;
color: #000000;
background: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/bg.jpg) repeat top left fixed;

Here is what I see - there should be a background image http://spudveyor.com/

You of course have to either name the uploaded background image to bg.jpg or change the code to the name of the background image you uploaded. Also make sure you uploaded the image to the images folder. Everything looks good in the code. As an example here is the code I used on one of my sites. The background image is quilt1.gif and I added padding to the top and bottom of the Body Style container along with setting the background to fixed so it doesn't scroll.

font-family: Georgia, serif;
font-size: 0.8em;
color: #000000;
background: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/quilt1.gif) repeat top left fixed;
padding: 20px 0;

Thank you. I did all these things. I don't understand why it does not show.

What version of WordPress and Atahualpa are you running. The code looks different on your site than on the ATA sites I have.

I was having the same problem with WP 2.9 and Atahualpa 3.4.4 so I added the below coding to the Add HTML/CSS Inserts and now my background image appears.

body,html {
background-image: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

I tried all of the above mentioned tips but none makes my bg image show.

I also try to make an bg image show in the footer but won't work either.

I have the layout set to liquid on 100% with a max and minimal with for the content

but would like to have the bg image (300px high) to be full screen from left to right ....

Anybody?

I'm running wp 2.9 and Atahualpa 344
