Hi I have created a child theme for my blog because I have been offered some advertising and need to hard code it. In truth should have done it before - but never mind. Anyway the child theme is working except for one thing - the background image on my post. It is a blog about a football team and I have a faded image as a background. However I can't find where I added it to replicate in the child theme. It's not in the style sheet, I've checked (which is why I posted here) - but I can't find it in the php files either. I really struggle with the inspector on FF, but tried it to see if I could see it but I can't. Can someone take a look and tell me where the damn thing is please? It's all a bit embarrassing asking about my own site - but I can't find it. https://joysandsorrows.co.uk/2020/07/so-what-now-for-blues/ If you look at this post you will see the faded image repeated vertically. I just need to know where that it so I can add it to the child theme because the child theme isn't picking it up. I have switched to the main theme for now for the purpose of this post. Thanks Kev
Yep that's the image. I can't get the css to work. The css is: .mh-wrapper { padding: 30px; background: #fff; background-image: url("./images/2bluesbg.png"); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: 50px 15px; border-left: 1px solid #ccc; border-right: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; } I thought that unless you add something different in the child theme style sheet, it will inherit the css from the parent theme. I tried adding it to the custom css in child theme customise page, not working. Also tried with the child style sheet - no good either. I expect I have either missed something or added something I shouldn't have done - but I can't see it.
Style the body instead of mh-wrapper class.... Something like: body.custom-background{ background: url('blah.png'); } Code (markup):
