# Kubrick blog post background image error

 * <p>Hello folks</p>
 * <p>In seeking to replace the standard Kubrick header with an image (now visible
   on [souterconsulting.eu](http://souterconsulting.eu/)), I also seem to have changed
   the theme code such that the image has become the (repeating) background for 
   blog posts, e.g. [this blog post](http://souterconsulting.eu/2009/11/20/belated-write-up-of-taad-event-social-media-beyond-the-hype/).
   Aargh!</p>
 * <p>I would love some help with:</p>
    - Working out what I’ve done wrong, and
    - Getting some instructions about how I can change it back to the default.
 * <p>I have considered:</p>
    - Using an unsullied [WordPress](http://wordpress.com).org default / Kubrick
      installation to copy across the virgin code back to souterconsulting.eu (e.
      g. for style.css and header-img.php), but to no avail
    - Changing the theme to the WordPress classic theme, and then changing it back
      to the default, in the hope that will remedy the dodgy code I have spawned[
      eeuw]
 * <p>So, any and all suggestions gratefully received – many thanks!</p>

 *     ```
       <style type="text/css" media="screen">
   
       	#page { background: url("http://souterconsulting.eu/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickheader.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
   
       </style>
       ```
   
 * it looks like you have some inline css in your header.php file where you’ve told
   the background image to repeat…
 * repeat-y tells it to repeat the length of the page, no-repeat would make it display
   only once

 * RVoodoo
 * Many thanks for the advice. [This post](http://souterconsulting.eu/2009/11/20/belated-write-up-of-taad-event-social-media-beyond-the-hype/)
   now shows that the image doesn’t repeat, and that will probably do for now, as
   I plan to implement Thesis asap!
 * I’ve also thought that, from the dev blog I have, I could download the Default/
   Kubrick theme files and upload them to the live site (if necessary to restore
   the live site to pristine.
 * Another observation is that I need to do some kind of source control with the
   Theme files – I don’t think they get backed up with the DB Backup plugin that
   I use (or I’m not using it properly…!).
 * Many thanks again for your help. 🙂
 * Code from Header.php for info:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * @package WordPress
        * @subpackage Default_Theme
