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

[SOLVED] background image causes problems in IE8

In Body Style under Body, Text and Links, I have defined a background image using background: url. In Layout Container Style under Style and Configure LAYOUT, I have defined background: #ffffff;. This would mean that the actual body of the page would be a white background with the text, sidebars, etc. within, and the image background surrounding it. This happens on browsers chrome, firefox and opera (http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/8665/sitefine.png). However, in IE8, its all messed up (http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/483/sitemessedup.png). Then I tried moving the definition background: #ffffff; to be the last definition in Layout Container Style under Style and Configure LAYOUT, and now it seems to work except that there is no background image (http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/5632/sitenobg.png). To make things more interesting, I then moved back the background: #ffffff; definition to its original position (i.e., not the last definition), and lo and behold, its not messed up as it was before, although there is still no background image. I disabled caching while running the above tests. Please advise.

OSX 10.11.5 WP 4.x Atahualpa(all) Safari, Firefox, Chrome
your css in the body style has an invalid attempt to make part of it a comment. You need to use '/*...*/' not '//...//'
depending on the browser this may cause issues
