` * I am trying to insert a background image (or just an image) together with the message. * The box accepts inline css. For instance: * `This SlideShowPro photo gallery requires the Flash Player plugin and a web browser with JavaScript enabled.
` * …will make **one** line of white text against a blue background on that line. * So I thought that I need to expand the element and added width:950px;height:633px to the inline style. And sure enough, the blue background then covered the container on the site (inside the 1px border). * But no image appears when I add it. Perhaps I do it wrong? I’ve tried so many ways: * `background: url('.get_bloginfo('template_url').'/images/marasunsetbgr.jpg` * `background-image (rest as above)` * I’ve also tried simpler links to the image, like * `url(/images/marasunsetbgr.jpg)` * But nothing works. * Can someone assist – could it be that the box is limited to the type of html/ css it accepts or am I simply linking to the image incorrectly? * The image is located in the “images” folder of my template’s folder. * Thanks for any help /p Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * [danielgrieve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielgrieve/) * (@danielgrieve) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-inline-style-question/#post-1402658) * Hi pullman, * You’re nearly there, you just need to make sure you use get_bloginfo() within PHP tags. Try this: * `background: url('/images/marasunsetbgr.jpg');` * Usually only use get_bloginfo() if you want to store the value, if you want to just echo it to the browser use bloginfo(). * Thread Starter [pullman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pullman/) * (@pullman) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-inline-style-question/#post-1402771) * Hi Daniel * Thanks very much for the quick reply and also for the tips re usage of get_bloginfo(). * When I try to implement it as you suggest, which I understand is like this: * `` * …then the image still doesn’t show up.

I’ve tried both your suggestions but the image doesn’t show up. * Could it be that the form doesn’t accept all types of styling (or would that be unlikely?)? * Or could it be that, since the default size and width are one line (see my first post above), I have to also include a fuller style with, for instance, also a container etc? * Could I link to an external style sheet perhaps and what would it have to include? * Cheers /p * Thread Starter [pullman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pullman/) * (@pullman) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-inline-style-question/#post-1402843) * Hi again This is the code that ultimately worked. I had to move the image to another folder, too. `
