    I'm using an image for my site's body background. However, when I scroll the page, the background stays put, but the inner background image moves. How to I make the body and inner images move in unison? Thanks.

    Solved. I had set the background in the frontend, as well as via style.css. I removed the front-end styling and then the two images locked as wanted.

    Hi,

    Looks like you created your own custom CSS instead of adding your image to #wrap and you also have it added to #body.

    First, remove the fixed option and second change it to repeat-x. This will fill from left to right and will show the #f6f6f6 color where the image ends.

    body.custom-background {
    background-color: #f9f6f6;
    background-image: url('http://www.ithacaindy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/body-bg.png') ;
    background-repeat: repeat-x; (<--add -x)
    background-position: top left;
    background-attachment: fixed; (<--remove)
    }

    You should try Firebug to inspect the site and you'll see that there are images attached to a lot of different styles that aren't necessary.

    Hope this helps!
