Hi I am currently using wp premium and am trying to change the background to an image. It is not working however.
I have already upload the gif profile to my ftp in the images section and it is still working.
Any help you can provide would be great?
Thanks.
please use the Firefox add-on Firebug http://getfirebug.com/ or a similar tool for this kind of css problems.
or post a link to your site so that someone can have a look at it.

What does firebug do?
The site name is http://www.thepoliticalgirl.com
Again, I just want to change the background to an image file.
I have already upload the gif profile to my ftp in the images section
where exactly is the image located?
what else have you changed?
have you edited style.css or any other stylesheet of your theme to refer to the new image?
- the body background is at the moment defined by:
body { background: #443b34 url(09-pink/body-bg_pink.gif) repeat; color:#555; }
in /wp-content/themes/wp_premium/skins/09-pink.css
which is called after style.css
- either replace that image with your own image;
- or if you try to add a new background image to the body style in style.css of your theme, try to use !important to force it;
example:
body { background: #443b34 url(images/body-bg_new.gif) repeat!important; }(I have no idea if there is an /images folder in your theme; just make sure that the image is in the right location.)

Yes, i have tried to change the stylesheet with no luck. For instance, i thought the background would be found under the body and currently the body only says this:
Currently, I have did Ctrl F and have not seen any instances of a background listed and esp not the only you have listed above. Where did you get that from?
Also I am editing the Stylesheet (style.css) but i do have a custom.css. Should i be editing the custom.css?
