 * On my website the background image I’ve set does not show. Neither in the preview
   nor in the live website regardless of which positioning I’m using. It is visible
   for half a second when I switch pages and disappears then again.
 * The custom css is added to the page:
    <style type=”text/css” id=”custom-background-
   css”> body.custom-background { background-image: url(“[http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/Background_larger.png&#8221](http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/Background_larger.png&#8221););
   background-position: center top; background-size: contain; background-repeat:
   no-repeat; background-attachment: scroll; } </style>
 * The image is accessible at the given link. I’ve tried in Chrome, Firefox and 
   Internet Explorer. I also already re-uploaded the theme with no changes.
 * The website url is [http://www.afro-karibik.de](http://www.afro-karibik.de) in
   case you want to have a look.
 * Thanks,
    Stefan

 * Ok, I set up a complete fresh WordPress instance and just installed the template.
   Even here is the background image not visible unless you have very short content.
   In this case the background image is visible below the footer: [https://imgur.com/a/3zFji](https://imgur.com/a/3zFji)

 * Allright guys. After removing the `background-color: #FFFFFF;` from the #page
   it shows the background image as expected.
