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

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 have viewed several answers on SO related to this question and have used that to write my css code as such (I was using short-hand before):
#intro {
background-image: url(http://www.trbimg.com/img-5a98709c/turbine/ct-met-illinois-legislature-marijuana-20180301);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
}
This works fine on my computer and in developer tools on Chrome when I resize the window or change the view to, say, iPhone X.
When I use my actual iPhone to go to the site, only a gray background displays, no image at all. I've tried in both Chrome and Safari.
Does anyone have some insight as to why that might be?
What I have tried:
Viewed similar questions on SO which helped me re-write my CSS without using the shorthand background
Stored the image on my server and shrunk it so it had a width of 1000px (half of its original width)
I plan on actually storing the image on my server in the future but I figured if anyone has the time to help me out a link to the large image online would be best.
Edit:
I have put together a CodePen for the #intro element.
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;
}
}
I came upon a problem while designing a jumbotron for a website.
It's outside the container. Created a background for it, set background-size to cover, worked great.
When I opened the front page on a wider screen, the jumbotron became larger and there were gaps since the background image was too wide.
I then tried background-size: 100% 100%, thinking the image would stretch. No changes. Thought I perhaps had a margin/padding issue. No changes again.
Is this a problem with the image or the jumbotron? I'm not sure how to solve this. No matter what image I pick, it behaves very differently on different devices.
Behaving differently on different devices is not a bug, it's a feature. Having said that, try this...
background-image: url(INSERT_URL_HERE);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
background-attachment: fixed;
If you want the image to stretch to fit the full element (even if it means losing proportion), you need to set background-attachment to fixed and the background-size to 100%. Like:
.jumbotron {
background-image: url(image.url);
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
Working example:
https://jsfiddle.net/4w9u7m1a/2/
I have a background image that I want to be fixed on larger screens and scroll on smaller devices.
This works great...
#main_page {
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
background-image:url('url');
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-size: cover;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
however I want to be able to use...
#media (max-width: 991px) {
#main_page { background-attachment:scroll; }
}
Using the background-attachment:scroll seems to kill background-size:cover and show it at it's full size (even bigger I think). When I test background-attachment: scroll; in the first set of CSS it does the same thing.
This exact thing seems to work on this site.... http://www.julytalk.com/ what am I missing?
I think I see what you mean. In the event that #main_page extends below the bottom of the viewport (I saw no problems here when it did not), the background image seems to inexplicably jump in size as soon as the media query breakpoint is reached and the background-attachment changes.
There's actually a good reason for this, and it relates primarily to your use of background-size: cover. While the style for #main_page is background-attachment: fixed, the area that this background needs to cover is only the size of the viewport, since the background never changes position relative to it.
However, once you cross that media query breakpoint and the style for #main_page changes to background-attachment: scroll, this area suddenly changes. Since the background now moves relative to the viewport, any part of #main_page that extends below the viewport needs to be covered as well. To account for this new area to cover, the background image instantly scales, resulting in this jump in size. (Exhibited in this JSFiddle.)
The site you linked to uses effectively similar styles to you, but ensures that their counterpart of #main_page never extends more than 100% of the viewport. For example, this JSFiddle uses your CSS to achieve a similar effect to them (no image size jump), since #main_page doesn't contain any content that would force it to exceed 100% of the viewport height.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
