It still has a double http! Remove it.

background-image: url("http://www.elliottwaveireland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/footer.jpg") !important;

ok, I’ve changed the footer image to jpeg, and edited the code accordingly.

It didn’t seem to have a double http at my end..and still nothing has changed…

You have copied the entire parent theme style sheet into your child theme folder. Do not do this.

Create a blank style sheet and copy over only those elements you wish to style.

This line is what’s causing the issue:

#footer {

background: url("http://elliottwaveireland/images/footer.gif") repeat-x scroll left -1352px #396395;

border-top: 1px solid #D5D5D5;

clear: both;

color: #FFFFFF;

margin-bottom: 30px;

min-height: 80px;

padding-top: 50px;

position: relative;

}

Fix these issues, and all those !important tags shouldn’t be necessary.

going a bit off subject now, but i have another confusing issue..

I have my entire wordpress site stored in a folder on the server called blog, i want the wordpress site to load when the url is entered..will i take out all the contents of the blog folder and put them into the httpdocs folder??

No! This will cause all sorts of headaches, and worse.

Read this and follow the instructions to the letter and all will be well:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install

It’s this second step that allows you to keep WP in a subdirectory, but allows the blog to load at your main directory.
