Which horizontal bar? 1, 2, or 3?

It is none of those. The bar code is:
/* BODY AND CONTAINER */
body {background:#fff url(‘images/border.png’) repeat-x; background-position:50% 250px; color:#333; font-family:’Open Sans’, sans-serif; font-size:0.9em; line-height:1.5em; text-align:left; word-wrap:break-word;}
#container {max-width:960px; position:relative; margin:0 auto 0; padding:0 20px;}
#container:after {content:”; display:block; height:0; clear:both;}
It shows now on http://www.plantclippings.com I have an image that is green.png loaded in the same file. It works if I substitute on the Inspection – but will not get called to the template.
CLUE: On WAMP when I put the code for the bar in first and then the rest of the code in – they all show up and work. If I remove all of the code, the one for the #header-second does not change. . .
So, something is hung up somewhere and there is probably a conflict between the body background bar and the header-second.
I have cleared my caches and restarted my computers on two different browsers with no luck.
It seems to me that this CSS should work:
body {
background: #fff url(images/green.png) repeat-x;
}
What file are you editing when you make this change?
Please make the change and ping me here when it’s done so I can see what’s up.
You are right Steve, that should work, but it doesn’t. I notice that when I inspect the site in Chrome it shows that rule as grayed out – perhaps that has something to do with it? I’ve gone through all of the style sheets and can’t find anywhere else that it could be changed.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks.
You entered it as #body. It should be JUST body.
I tried that as well. When I remove the # the line simply disappears.
This time, you put in a .. That’s also incorrect. Just body, all by istelf.
Yes, I know.
Now you will find it with nothing before body. When it is entered like that the line disappears completely – also not solving my problem.
There’s a 404 error on ‘green.png’.
OH I GET IT!
The directory is relative to the CSS file, so when it’s in the theme’s style.css, images/green.png works, but when it’s custom CSS, you’ll have to spell out the fully qualified address
Use this instead of images/green.png:

Steve, Thank you for your patience and persistence. If nothing else, I am learning that I do have some sense of the different things to try to attempt to figure out a problem since I had tried that as well.
I have now pasted that line of code in and saved it. Again, it doesn’t affect the color of the bar. It is pasted with single quotes, but I tried double quotes to just to see if that would make a difference.
THis should work:
body {
background: #fff url(http://www.plantclippings.com/wp-content/themes/medical/images/green.png) repeat-x;
background-position: 50% 250px;
}
IT WORKS!!!!! Thank you. Can I ask you what was different so I can learn something?
Yes, the complete url — but was the lack of quotes? Everything I saw in various places put the url within the parenths in either single or double quotes . . .guess I didn’t try it without the quotes.
Thank you.
