White Space on top of Background image

  • Unknown's avatar

    Help!

    I’m building a theme from scratch, and, after getting the basic html/php in place, I’m adding basic images/css styling to the site. Note that not everything is perfectly theme-ready (ie. the images aren’t in an /image subdirectory in the theme folder), I’m just trying to get everything functional at this stage, and will be fine-tuning everything later.

    When I added a background image, it displays properly repeated, but there is a white ~30 pixel bar above the image, and I cant figure out why it’s there or how to get rid of it. The white space is there in Chrome and Firefox, but not IE, and I haven’t tried Safari/Opera. The CSS for the background looks like this:


    body
    {
    background-image: url('http://the_image_url/Background.png');
    background-repeat:repeat-x;
    }

    I’m using http://www.wowbbq.com as my sandbox while building the theme – you should be able to see the issue for yourself.

    I haven’t been able to find anyone with a similar issue, both here or in the first few pages of Google results. I’d appreciate any/all help and suggestions.

    Sorry, you need to head over to http://wordpress.ORG/support/ as that is where self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG are supported.

    These forums are for those hosted here on the wordpress.COM free hosting service and things here work differently.

    If you do not know the difference, see this support document: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ .

    My mistake – I found these forums in my search results. Is there a way to delete/close this thread?

    You can set it to resolved at upper right, otherwise staff will close it eventually.

    And it’s not a problem there is a lot of understandable confusion given the URLs are the same except for the extension (.COM vs. .ORG).
