    Hi,
    I created a buddy press child theme from the default theme. It activated and works fine. I changed some css and that worked to.

    I added a new div to header.php called ropeheader. I added css to it and the csss is working because it added the width and height an dolor I added but a css image I am trying to display as a background won’t work. I have the image stored int eh regular images folder in the inc folder int eh plugin where all the other default theme images are. I also tried to add a folder into the child theme and still I get no background image displayed. I am using background-image: url(../images/background-rope-header.png);

    Any ideas or help????

    == I added a new div to header.php called ropeheader. ==
    Where before-inside-around-after within the header.php did you add div#ropeheader and its background image?

    Thanks so much for replying, Ive been trying to figure this out for a 2 hrs.

    I first added it inside the header div just before the closing for header–inside the header.php. this showed no background image that I added in the css.
    So I then moved the div#ropeheader to just below/after: php do_action( ‘bp_before_container’ )
    Still no background image. The width and height I specify in css or a color will show up fine but no background image.

    Hard to guess then. It might just be that the path to the background image in your stylesheet is wrong e.g. if bg img is in themefolder/images/bg.jpg and your stylesheet is in themefolder/style.css, then the reference should be something like `background-image: url(‘images/bg.jpg’);`

    Thanks Mercime, that was actually it. I had the url wrong…and, I didn’t realize I need an images folder in the child theme as well. I changed the url to background-image: url(‘images/background-rope-header.png’); and added an images folder to the child theme and it adds the backgrounds like it should.

    Thanks for helping with this
    have a great day
