I am trying to get the header image of my new website (using WordPress) to resize automatically dependent on what type of device I am viewing from. I have tried to implement additional CSS from other people's suggestions but nothing seems to work for me. When viewing on a desktop, I am happy with how it looks but viewing from a phone does not look good.
Please help! My website is:

Thank you!
As per your code, you are using background-image for your header. Try adding the below lines in your additional CSS section to fix it.
#media (max-width: 991px) {
#masthead.header-image{
padding: 30px 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: initial;
}
}
Have you tried to use:
width: 100vw;
height: auto;
This will make your image with 100% of the width of users device.
If you are using bootstrap then adding a class in <img> will make the image responsive. class = "img-responsive" . You can add a class over this and set your max-width.

Dear fellow programmers
I have a little issue with my CSS code. I have an image as background and want it to cover the whole screen. The issue is that it only covers 4/3 of the background. There is a blank space at the bottom of my page.
Here is the code I have so far:
body {
background-image: url(http://gymgames.ch/img/background.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: fixed;
}
The image URL is working if you want to see the whole image.
The page URL is: https://gymgames.ch
Thanks for your help in advance
If you don't have any other content on the page you can add something like
body{
min-height: 100vh;
}
As you specified, the background image is covering body, but body will not necessery be as height as your device.
You could add min-height: 100vh; to body and then it will work.
Btw. you are using background-position: fixed; which is an invalid value for the property, have a look here. I think what you were looking for was center instad of fixed?
EDIT:
It it worked before, you have had enough content, so the body was high enough.
Good afternoon,
I'm new to webdesign.
I've added a background-image to my webpage.
I used the below CSS to achieve this:
body {
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
max-width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-image: url(link.jpg);
}
It is fine on desktop and tablet devices. However on mobile phones, not everything is showing.
I have a specific image for mobile devices, but I don't want to use it, because there is too much quality loss of pixels.
I want to use the same image, but it is not scaling down correctly.
I already tried adding a media query for mobile, with adding background-size: contain. Then the image is scaling down in the widht, but not the whole background is coverd. So that doesn't help either.
What can I do to fix this?
Thank you.
That's normal behaviour when using a landscape image on a portrait screen. The only thing you can do is, what you already tried. Add some media-queries for different screen resolutions, which adjust you image the way you thing it looks the best.
One idea for your case:
If you add a header and a footer to your website, it should be possible to show the background image exactly like you wish.
if you are ok with stretching image then you can use,
background-size: 100% 100%;
I'm setting up a new Wordpress site and am stuck on how to position my logo (header image)/background image. The photo below is how I want it to look & how it currently appears on a desktop. However, it gets cut off on mobile and I think it has to do with how I set it up...
My header image is actually transparent and what you see is the background image. So my question is, is there a way that I can position it properly on mobile devices too? Or, is there a better way to do this?
The reason I chose to set it as the background image rather than a header image is that I wasn't sure how I could get it to actually touch the top of the page if set as the header image.
If you want to see my actual website, it's here. I'm using the Brunch Pro theme.
Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated! :)
Add this css to active theme style.css file.
#media (max-width: 767px){
body.custom-background {
background-image: url(http://gleefulthings.com/WPtestblog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/backgroundlogo2.jpg);
background-position: 50% top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-size: 70% auto;
}
}
The background image shows perfectly on PC and simulator (tablet and phone), but it won't show on actual phone/tablet.
code
div#photo_break {
#include viewport-unit(height, 28vw);
background-image: url('<img>');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% auto;
-webkit-background-size: 100% auto;
-moz-background-size: 100% auto;
-o-background-size: 100% auto;
background-position: center top;
background-attachment: fixed;
z-index: 99999;
}

As you can see in this picture, in Chromes simulatorthe picture is shown.
The size of the image is not really large, or is it?
Nice site. :D Let's try to solve your issue.
Make sure you do not have that CSS code inside any media query, since it might block that content.
You might also try to add a new media query with the same CSS you have just for mobile, like this #media (min-width: 481px) { }.
Clean your mobile browser's cache before loading the site again.
Your background image is 12,000 pixels wide. It takes a long time to load to, I would suggest making the background of a parent div black inside the header, then putting an image in of just the person as the background of the element within that container if that makes sense. Save your mobile users data!
mobileand tablet browsersdo not support background-attachment: fixed.
changing this, solved the problem
I am working on my webpage. I am facing couple of problems at the moment:
Images do not adapt to the size of the browser window, if I make the browser window smaller image will be shown as repeated
I want, that each picture take the whole display
How can I do that footer and menu stay visible during the scrolling?
Here is the link to Codepen
#intro{
background-image: url("http://www.tricentis.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/photo-1435575653489-b0873ec954e2.jpg");
padding-top: 30px;
background-size: cover;
height: 100vh;
background-size: 100%;
}
Thank you in advance for your help
doesn't do any good to set background size to cover if you're going to set it to 100% a couple lines down. remove background-size:100% and it works fine.
You can set
background-repeat: no-repeat;
to make sure each image isn't shown more than once.
