Title: comment label and background image Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # comment label and background image * [rohitkumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rohitkumar/) * (@rohitkumar) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-label-and-background-image/) * Could someone look here [http://www.rohitkumar.org/blog/](http://www.rohitkumar.org/blog/) and tell me why I dont see a background image? This is the code I use: * #body { background: url(“[http://rohitkumar.org/images/bg1.gif”](http://rohitkumar.org/images/bg1.gif”);) repeat; font-family: ‘Trebuchet MS’, ‘Lucida Sans Unicode’, sans-serif; font- size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; /* IE 5.5 hack */ } * — — * The label of the forms on the comment page are very small. I tried to change this by adding style=”font-size: 10pt;” in comments.php and removing the small tag that wrapped the label. That still doesn’t help 🙁 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-label-and-background-image/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-label-and-background-image/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-label-and-background-image/#post-211979) * I see this: #body { background: #121212; font-family: ‘Trebuchet MS’, ‘Lucida Sans Unicode’, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; /* IE 5.5 hack */ } * No image……….. * Thread Starter [rohitkumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rohitkumar/) * (@rohitkumar) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-label-and-background-image/#post-211983) * oh yeah…im sorry..i was testing if it was a problem with the image or the coding… * Thread Starter [rohitkumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rohitkumar/) * (@rohitkumar) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-label-and-background-image/#post-211991) * *bump* * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-label-and-background-image/#post-211993) * The declaration should be: * `body {` * and not: * `#body {` * Thread Starter [rohitkumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rohitkumar/) * (@rohitkumar) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-label-and-background-image/#post-211995) * Thank you, Kafkaesqui.

Do not use “pt” in your fonts. Different browsers view these very differently and you will not have much control over that. And avoid using inline styles when possible. Put them in your style sheet. * 2. In your style sheet (after removing the inline style references), add something like this: * `#comments-post #author {font-size:90%; color: red} #comments-post #email {font- size:90%; color: blue} #comments-post #url {font-size:90%; color: green} * The different colors will “tell” you if the font has been changed and the style references are right. You might have to play with this a little to get the right order of style references right. * Once you get the font size set right, and all the other details, get rid of the color references. * 3. I also recommend you spend some time in the WordPress Codex, documentation site, at [http://codex.wordpress.org](http://codex.wordpress.org), especially with articles like: * [Finding Your CSS Styles](http://codex.wordpress.org/Finding_Your_CSS_Styles) [WordPress Blog Design and Layout](http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout) [Template Files](http://codex.wordpress.org/Templates) [Stepping Into Template Tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Template_Tags) * 4. A reminder, this forum is run by volunteers, and they are simple but eager folks who want to help. Not everyone knows everything. We like to solve one problem per post, not every problem. We also like to be treated nicely, thanked on occassion, and forgiven for slipping up once in a while.
