    Guys.

    I am having a go at making my own WP theme for a site i am building. I have a fully working WP install

    I am using Dreamweaver CS5 and please tell me if there is something better.

    I have created a index.php and also a style.css

    Now my index.php is not doing anything crazy right now. I have created a .php page in dreamweaver and then assigned a background image. I have put the CSS code as follows in the .css file

    body {
    background-color: #FFF;
    background-image: url(images/ButchersBlock.png);
    }

    Now if i just open index.php in firefox then i see the background image. But when i use it with WordPress i see nothing but a white screen.

    I am sure i am doing something silly. can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    Make sure that your image directory is in the right place. For the wordpress theme it should be in the same directory which should be something like

    example.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/
    this is where your “index.php” and “style.css” should be.

    then
    example.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/images/
    which is where the “ButchersBlock.png” should be.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks mate. Ok so using the following allows my background to show when i load the page.

    example.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/images/

    I am abit confused. When i look at other templates and the .css files they all seem to use

    (images/IMAGE NAME HERE)

    Any ideas?

    Yes, that’s all you should have to use. If your image is located there but isn’t showing up with (images/IMAGE NAME HERE) try it like (./images/IMAGE NAME HERE)

    Hope this helps.

    Yep tried that and it removes the image again.

    I am running multiple sites on WP could this be why i need to use the full URL?
