WordPress › Support » Custom Field Outputting Array

At my test site, I am trying to do different backgrounds for each page.

I have a custom field called background-image with a url from the media area.

I have the following just have the header call and before content:

<style type=“text/css”>
body {
background-image: url('<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘background-image‘, true); ?>');
}
</style>

I don't see it's working and when I look at the code, it's outputs:

<style type=“text/css”>
body {
background-image: url('Array')
}
</style>

I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've tried Googling the answer but all information indicates I'm doing the right thing.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Barb

I found out that my quotes around the background-image were of a difference character. I deleted them and retyped and now am seeing the right source, no more Array... except... I'm still not seeing my background? Ugh!

I GOT IT!

Changed the header.php file body line to:

<body <?php body_class(); ?> style="background-image: url('<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'background-image', true); ?>');">
