Question

I am having trouble with a full page background in a test wordpress site. I can’t get the page scroll bar to appear.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I just figured this out myself:

I changed this for the background image:

position: absolute;

to

position: fixed;

and deleted

overflow: hidden;

This allows the scroll bar to appear and the fixed background position makes the background stay in place. The background still re-sizes perfectly, this just lets your content scroll.

Then add the following to do away with the horizontal scroll that appears:

overflow-x: hidden; /*Horizontal scrollbar*/
-ms-overflow-x: hidden; /*IE 8 horizontal scrollbar*/
