  • can you post a link to your site?

    it seems that your theme’s html structure is not fit to use the plugin (?)

    I’m using “Traction” theme.

    It just seems to me that the problem is the fact that the image background is set for words written inside post only, not the actual post. This problem is so frustrating as I have no idea what to do to solve it, hopefully someone will be able to help me out…

    the image background is set for words written inside post only, not the actual post.

    that is right – the plugin wraps a div with the background formatting around the post content – while you are trying to have this around or for the post div;

    unfortunately, I don’t see any way to get this working without re-writing the plugin code.

    I checked the code before and yeah, that’s exactly what it does. How long do you think it would take to re-write the plugin code? Isn’t it possible to just change a few lines and make the plugin insert the background image for specific post number?

    For example whenever a post is created we get a unique number – e.g. <div id=”post-835″, then if another post is created it will have div id of post 836, and so on…

    you could consider to post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/ to find out more about how long it will take to edit the plugin to do what you want – or to edit the plugin/theme combination.

    Could you be a little bit more specific please? Since that is a job section, it means that I would have to pay to someone? How much do you think it would cost? Any idea how long it might take to edit the plugin? How long would it take for someone to contact me? If you could give me as much details as possible on this matter, I would be really grateful!

    Alright, I have posted a new job asking for those who are interested send me a few details, such as how much it will cost, when can they start, etc.

    Is it really not possible to get help here? Paying someone is my last hope?

    I used “mIRC” (instant relay chat) to try and get some help, I was told by someone to do this:

    find the container div ID .. take the current chunk of CSS style from your current stylesheet and move it to the new container div ID
    add background: url (page/bg.jpg) from where it is now to the actual div you want to put the background on

    However, I am not quite sure what he meant by that, I’m just a little bit confused. If someone could explain that to me or modify the plugin accordingly, I would be really grateful.

    I would love to know this as well – I had hoped to used this plugin to apply an image behind the title of my posts (not in the actual body of the post). Does anyone know an alternative plugin or solution I could use for this? Thank you!

    I already figured it out, no need for plugins or anything like that, I’ve used a manual method, it’s very simple and yet so effective 😛

    Care to share, testingmoon? I’d love to apply an image to the background of the title section of all of my posts.
