Sites To [UPD] Download Background Images
Samantha Ferre
All of my section background images suddenly have stopped showing on the live site and the back end. When I go to section formatting the image is there as usual, allows me to edit, add effects, etc. The image shows when I add effects, but when I remove the effects it is blank again. Ideally I'd like to not have effects on all of my background images in order for it to show up.
I have been working with squarespace support on this, and they suggested my custom css could be causing it, so I removed all custom css and no luck. They have made my issue an escalated ticket and I might not hear back from them for several days, so wanted to see if anyone here had any solutions. This is happening site wide (I have section background images on 7 different pages), so I don't think it's an issue with the image file size or type. Attached is a screen recording of the issue in the back end.
@tuanphan apparently it was the parallax code i've been using on several of my 7.1 sites (fluid engine as well). Its still working fine on "most" of my 7.1 sites, but this one it really effected including styling issues!
Here's one of my sites where that same code is working perfectly
www.LostIsle.com
Here is the site I'm currently building out where suddenly yesterday it stopped working (I've since removed the code and am using the default background animations. NOT NEAR AS COOL AS PARALLAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I adjusted my email address in the footer of my site and ALL of the video backgrounds across my entire site turned black. When I click to see if the videos are still uploaded they are, but the content being displayed are just black boxes. This is happening on all devices and whether I am connected to wifi or cellular. PLEASE HELP!
SquareSpace did an update, which they do often. Many of us designers add CSS or custom code to get a little more out of the generic templates... for me it's parallax and menu dropdown arrows to show a dropdown exists... those SHOULD be standard on this platform. Squarespace does NOT support custom code or CSS, so if you add it, you take the risk of this happening. I have 21 sites on 7.1 with this code integrated, about 75% of them still work and for some reason 25% don't, which I have to go back and adjust all the styling and add the standard background image animations, which are so lack luster but they are better than nothing
I'm having issues with background images showing on some sections and others not. No code being used, and am in Classic Editor. No difference whether its a jpg or PNG ...nothing shows on the page, though it when editing it shows an image has been uploaded ...
This page was built with all new elements and the header background image in the first section, as well as the the background images in the last two sections are not showing. All that shows is white space.
I'm trying to apply a background image it using CSS, however, I need to use the site.baseurl variable so the location of the image file is parsed correctly. Unfortunately, the following code does not work:
No matter if you want to make a background transparent (PNG), add a white background to a photo, extract or isolate the subject, or get the cutout of a photo - you can do all this and more with remove.bg.
You can add text or other content over a background image. Because the text that you add adapts to fit any screen size or mobile device, this is a great way to add text if you're using the background image as a banner.
To style the background image, click Edit on the page, click the pencil icon on the banner's section, then click Background. You can set the Background Width and the Overlay Opacity.
After adding a background image, you can add effects to give the image a more stylized look. Some effects add an animation so the image is always moving, while others only appear as the visitor scrolls through that section of your site.
Here is the thing you are missing. Background image is set inside body element in css. I found you didnt have a body elemet. Second thing which i notices in your code was the image url, it was of dropbox. use absolute url of image and not of a website. there are many website which provide images with ,jpg extension but are not the absolute url. Anyway here is the corrected css code.
When you are starting to work on recreating a part of the wireframe in Elementor, you need to first decide if you will place the background image of the wireframe in the section, column or widget level.
Cover shows the image with the proper size, and if there is a mismatch between the section and the background image sizes the sides of the image is cropped. If we make sure the background image still works with the sides cropped, we can use the Cover to properly display the background image on all devices, including mobile devices.
Given you are in charge of customizing the site you are working on to a real business, in most cases, you will need to eventually replace at least some of those background images with images from the actual business you are creating the site for.
Many WordPress themes are now coming with full screen, parallax, and multiple backgrounds support. Due to this web design trend, one of our readers asked if we knew of resources to find high quality background images. In this article, we will share how to find free and beautiful background images to use on your WordPress site.
Since background images usually cover the entire screen, you need to find really large images. Now you can surely resize and make images larger, but this will result into some quality loss which is noticeable for large images.
Ideally, you should look for images at least 1920px wide and 1080 pixel in height. For better results, you should try even larger dimensions. Remember, resizing an image to make it smaller is a lot easier, and you can do it without quality loss.
Formarly known as stock.xchng, freeimages.com offers a huge collection of free stock photos that you can use as background images on your WordPress site. Images are organized in categories and the site has a pretty decent search feature as well.

Placing text over images should be avoided for variable length text as the combination of the two has a tendency to produce unexpected results and has a high likelihood of obscuring important parts of the image or overrunning and potentially covering the entire image if not well controlled.
In a recent project of mine, we started with the first strategy and switched to the second. The content managers simply found it was easier and quicker to find images that looked good within the tigher site design constraints, rather than to restrict themselves to the much smaller set of images that would be compliant.
The image the in the example above would not be so great on a phone, and thus it should not appear on a phone. An (optional or mandatory) second field should be included in the CMS that would provide a background image for small screens (phones). Ideally, this would be another version of the same image. In this example, perhaps just the surf without the creatures. That will give consistency of experience across devices.
The intent of this Success Criterion is to provide enough contrast between text and its background so that it can be read by people with moderately low vision (who do not use contrast-enhancing assistive technology). For people without color deficiencies, hue and saturation have minimal or no effect on legibility as assessed by reading performance (Knoblauch et al., 1991). Color deficiencies can affect luminance contrast somewhat. Therefore, in the recommendation, the contrast is calculated in such a way that color is not a key factor so that people who have a color vision deficit will also have adequate contrast between the text and the background
You could also check text on images for readability (generate small regions around the "intersection" between the text and the background, estimate contrast, warn if outside of some boundary) though this might be a lot of work to implement.
