    How do I add a background image in the twenty ten theme into the wrapper area? I have been trying to add it into the #wrapper section but with no success

    Here is my website: http://indiebizdesign.com

    I would like to add a background image into the white part of the page/ content area.

    Here is the code I used:
    background-image: url(images/pink_wave_bk.jpg) no-repeat 0 0 repeat-x;

    thanks in advance

    Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme. Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    I just created a child theme. Thanks for reminding me 🙂

    you were trying to use the background short form together with background-image;

    so what is the right code? I have trying out a few different things but doesn’t seem to work. Not even sure if I’m placing it in the right place

    it’s in the css docu:

    either use:
    background: #123456 url(images/pink_wave_bk.jpg) no-repeat 0 0;

    or:

    background-color: #123456;
background-image: url(images/pink_wave_bk.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat
background-position: 0 0;

    also, make you mind up if you want no background repeat or repeat in x direction.

    (from line 171 in style.css of the parent theme)

    #wrapper {
	background: #fff;
	margin-top: 20px;
	padding: 0 20px;
}

    seems to be the right css id.
