Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

probably has to do with the min-height and min-width you have set.

Hi,
I have attached some screenshots how the page looks on the smartphone if I remove the min-height and min-width I have set.
As you can see the background either dissapears or it appears too small, I added the min-height and min-width following a tutorial to make my background image re-size according to the screen size it is viewed on.

Any suggestion,

thanks

Well perhaps since you have an issue, you should ask the author of the article

Since you have
1) followed a suggestion from 'who knows where' (no link provided to it) and
2) this is not part of the theme code and
3) the issue also occurs on the desktop when you make the window smaller

Since you followed someone directions, and haven't provided them - they ARE the best person to ask about this.

And since it seems my suggestions are not helpful, I will have no problem standing back and letting others give you 'good suggestions'

Hi Juggledad and Carme,

I use the same code for some of my (ATA) website's backgrounds and I got the code from Chris Coyier from CSS Tricks (link to article is http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-p...kground-image/)
Considering his record for great and innovative CSS I doubt there is anything wrong with the code, unless this problem started occurring after the many new smartphones have come out and he is not aware of it?
Perhaps he might know what the problem is Carme, you could contact him via his website.

FYI Juggledad, the code is:
HTML Code:
<div id="bg">
	<img src="images/bg.jpg" alt="">
</div>
in HTML Inserts: Body Top

and

Code:
#bg {
	position:fixed; 
	top:-50%; 
	left:-50%; 
	width:200%; 
	height:200%;
}
#bg img {
	position:absolute; 
	top:0; 
	left:0; 
	right:0; 
	bottom:0; 
	margin:auto; 
	min-width:50%;
	min-height:50%;
}
in CSS Inserts

It works perfectly for me on all computers and Macs I've tried, in normal size and when making the window as small as it can be. I have to admit not having tried it on a smartphone though..
