Background Not Appearing.. Help!
-
Hi there,
My wordpress.com site (with Modularity Lite theme) was working perfectly until this morning when I noticed that the background I had uploaded and been using was gone. When I’d access my site I’d just see the generic black background instead of my picture. Under the “Appearance” -> “Background” tab it appears to all be normal. The picture is there and uploaded. I tried removing it and replacing it with different pictures but nothing will show up. I tried it under different themes but under no circumstances am I getting background images to appear. I can change the color of the background, but that’s it.. I haven’t messed with the CSS at all. Please help me out if you have any ideas.. this has been quite the hassle.. :)
Thanks!

I am seeing your custom background on your site.
What happens when you directly access the background image file?
-
It says “Image” in the upper left hand corner but I’m not seeing anything. I can right click it and “refresh image” but still nothing…
-
That is one huge-ass image. You should replace it with the same image, optimized for the web (ie at a lower resolution). No wonder you’re not seeing it; it’s so big it’s choking your internet!

My gawd, it’s a 2mb file.
You never, ever want a background image that is over 50k.
I just tried going to the lowest setting in Photoshop through the save for web and devices, and I can’t get it under 136k.
You need to downsize that image which is currently at 3648 x 2726 to something around 1600 x whatever and then save it as a lower quality or medium quality jpg.

The background is fine on the spammer – and they are not even a blog or seem to be WordPress anything.
