FrameMarket/GridMarket – Background Image Upload Issue

I am running the latest version of FrameMarket/Gridmarket and setting up same on a MU installation with Marketpress.

No other plugins are running at this time.

In setup for the child theme I am attempting to set a background image and/or change the background color.

I had previously set the color to: #dfebe6

I have removed that color with the background upload tool and the preview (after save) shows a white background. The front end background color has not changed.

I then attempted to upload a 1440px x 900px test background image which you will see in my screenshot below. This image seems to have been reduced upon upload as you can see.

The site is: http://marine/ac.com/marketplace

Wordpress is the latest version, it is a brand new clean install.

Any suggestions?

    In the previous ticket which sorry Fondeli you probably didn’t see I covered this.

    It does take you just have to remove the background colour from the element using the child style sheet ie;

    #site-wrapper{background-color: none;}

    Or something similar.

    Hiya!

    I’m a little confused by your initial post – I’m struggling to understand where you have the background set.

    Are you using theme options, or child CSS stylesheet?

    Also, the URL you’ve given isn’t formatted correctly so I’m having trouble checking. Could you provide the correct URL and I’ll take a look.

    Thanks,

    Phil

    Thanks.

    I’ve had a look at your site and compared it to my test site (using the unmodified gridmarket child).

    I see inline CSS of this;

    <blockquote>body {
    
background-image: url('http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/background.jpg');
    
background-repeat: repeat;
    
background-position: top left;
    
background-attachment: scroll;
    
}</blockquote>

    Where as there is no such inline CSS in yours.

    That suggests to me that your child is missing the code that inserts the CSS relating to the background image.

    Compare your code with the latest copy of gridmarket to see what’s missing.

    Cheers,

    Phil

    Phil,

    If you refer to my previous issue with a clean install of Framemarket/gridmaket and confer with Tammie you will see that I have updated to her latest versions of the theme with all updates she has applied to resolve the other issues. I have not edited an CSS or code at all.

    Previous thread: https://wpmudev.com/forums/topic/gridmarket-setup-error-invalid-argument

    Is it possible something was left out of her recent updates to the theme? She was working hard at resolving my issues and did a great job on finding everything I noted issues with and resolving them but maybe something was changed in that process?

    Just so you both know, the theme background update worked before the last update was applied.

    I left nothing out as said before I can’t replicate on my test installations any of the issues you are experiencing with the custom background. This is why I’ve asked Phil to come and he again confirmed he can’t and is trying to find the difference in your install.

    I’ll leave it to Phil with that information you provided.

    Thanks for that. However, you need to re-paste that and use the “code” button on the toolbar. Pasting it in to a quote has made the links in the code turn into actual hyperlinks.

    Alternatively, paste it into a service like pastebin.com.

    Thanks,

    Thanks Phil,

    I think my issue was my installation of MU, I have reverted to a standard WP 3.xx install for this project as I can not change all of the permalinks on the home domain which is running a forum.

    I have the site re-installed and the Marketpress and Framemarket/Gridmarket seem to be working fine now.

    Thanks for your and Tammie’s time….

    Scott
