    Hi people, first time wordpress user here. Decided to use it as a system for a site I am making and I have made a theme/layout for it which does not seem to call the page container at all or display my background image.

    It also messes up my navigation bar somehow. I can’t see any errors in the css, so I am assuming it is in the php somewhere.

    Here is the site and files at the moment.

    Any help appreciated

    Do you have a working URL? (to the site not the files)

    I’d suggest reading up on theme development.

    Yes the website is

    http://www.limavadyyouths.co.uk

    Ive had a bit of play around with the php more to the point where it calls the background image, but just not to the point of having it the background (was using css stretch background trick btw)

    You’re using 

    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
<!--
@import url("style.css");
-->
</style>

    to link up your stylesheet. That won’t work, because the ‘style.css’ is not in the root-folder, but in your theme-folder. You should use:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    Also, the closing > on your body-tag is missing.
