hi! i'm currently working on strawberry starter and i love it so far; but i'm running into a weird issue. i *cannot* seem to add a background image to the body? i've seen other blogs using strawberry starter have bgs, but i can't seem to figure out what they're doing different even when digging through their code. if it's just something i can add in the config files, let me know. this is probably something super simple i'm overlooking! thanks in advance!!
huh, yeah that is weird. are you just setting the background-image with css (no js when the page loads or anything fancy like that)? are you using your own style or modifying one of the templates?
can you set the background-image to something like background-image: linear-gradient(#fff, #000); ? if that doesn't produce a change, i suspect the rule is being invalidated by a css rule with higher specificity somewhere. if it does work, then maybe the image isn't being transferred over during the build - can you check if the bg image appears in the _site output folder?
i /am/ using my own style (modded from plain), but when i use a linear grad for the background-image, it works... and yes, the image is being transfered. it works when i use it elsewhere... i was even trying it with image that comes with it... ill dig through the other files and see if i added something there. tbh that sounds like the issue. if not, i'll try it on another css template. if all else fails i'll redownload and see jic i did something wrong during setup. thanks! the joys of webdev are never ending ;w;
redownloading it did the trick. nothing else seemed to work T__T i think i didnt download/update 11ty properly when i originally downloaded it from the command terminal... i think i got 11ty to update?? but now it works LOL thank you again, i really think i just fudged it up on my end from the start
