Background Transparency

Hi! I have Vantage Premium installed on a site and have added some Custome CSS to upload a photo to the page wrapper and then I’ve added the CSS to make the footer and header transparent with the body being only 50% transparent.

You can see that it’s working correctly on the home page but not on any of the other pages. Is there more code I need to enter?

This is what I have now:

/* Fixed Background Image for Site */

#page-wrapper {  
  background-image: url(wp-content/uploads/BG12.jpg);  
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center center !important;  
  background-attachment: fixed;  
  -webkit-background-size: cover;  
  -moz-background-size: cover;  
  -o-background-size: cover;  
  background-size: cover;  
}

/* Transparent Background */

#main {
   background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.5) !important;
}

#masthead {
   background-color: transparent !important;
}

#colophon {
   background-color: transparent !important;
} 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)

    One more thing to note, it is working on the shop category pages because I have a plug-in for special backgrounds and banners running there.

    It’s just not working on the main tabs.

    Thanks!

    Hi Mindy

    Thanks for running Vantage.

    The manner in which you’ve handled opacity for the #main div is correct. Making background-color transparent for the header and footer though will make them completely transparent. You’ll need to use the same method for those divs. Namely RGBA.

    Hi Andrew,

    Yes, I want them completely transparent, but what isn’t happening is the background photo that I’ve uploaded in the page-wrapper is only showing on the home page…not the other top level menu pages.

    Do you have some insight on that?

    Thanks!

    Ok with you now. Try making the url in your Custom CSS absolute and not relative. wp-content/uploads/BG12.jpg works on the home page but becomes http://fishcodemo.newequus.com/about-us/ wp-content/uploads/BG12.jpg on the about page which will 404.

    Andrew, that did the trick! Thanks so much. :-)
