The URL of the image is relative to the stylesheet if you don’t include ‘http://’. It’s easiest to just use the full URL e.g.
body {
background-image: url('http://mysite.com/media/2014/06/image.png');
}
Also, add the following CSS:
.main {
background: none
}
You should avoid adding the styles to the style.css file because they’ll be erased when you update to version 1.12 of Ignite. Instead, add the styles to a child theme.

With the styles in the child theme, you can update to a new version of Ignite and your style changes won’t be affected.
Thank you! I was not expecting such a speedy reply. I will make sure to build a child theme. It was the background: none that I was missing.
no problem, thanks for using ignite!
