CSS in child displaying diff in home/page vs Post/category

have css in widget that is displaying right in Home&Pages not in Posts/Cate

[watercrazed]

Need help on CSS for same element displaying different on Home and pages than on Post pages.
The home and pages are displaying the formating in my widgets correctly but in post pages (full post and category) they are not displaying the formating correctly.- it is not finding the image when page served using category or post pages.

using a child theme of twentyeleven theme.
using current versions of WP and theme.

Really could use some ideas -


The background image png in the widget is not displaying in the post pages


Example Home and Page top Side bar and right footer widgets display as expected with a gold png background
[ph1landrews.com...] - full page (no sidebar - footer only) [ph1landrews.com...]

Category post page does not have the gold background in the top Side bar and right footer widgets
[ph1landrews.com...]

and the full post page (without a sidebar ) does not show the gold background
[ph1landrews.com...]

code in the widget - (note the div with image is recognized - the blue text is displaying)
<div style="background-image: url( 'wp-content/themes/occupation/images/Box-gld-sbar-lowres.png' ); height:240px; width:238px; color: blue;">

<div style="padding: 40px 20px 20px 15px; font-size:14px;">
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Site Announcement!</h1>
<p>You can replace the Text by editing the Widget</p>
</div>

It's because you're using relative links. You need to make them relative to root (or at least, relative to your working directory.)

Look at your working page URL:
example.com/occupy/dev/wp/

And the CSS:

'wp-content/themes/occupation/images/Box-gld-sbar-lowres.png'

We can presume the Wordpress index.php is here

example.com/occupy/dev/wp/index.php

OK? So it's finding the image at

example.com/occupy/dev/wp/wp-content/themes/occupation/images/Box-gld-sbar-lowres.png

Then you go into the category.

example.com/occupy/dev/wp/category/news/regional

So the browser expects you're in a directory from wp, category/news/regional (even though that's not a real directory). so it's looking for the image relative to where you are, here

example.com/occupy/dev/wp/category/news/regional/wp-content/themes/occupation/images/Box-gld-sbar-lowres.png

Which, of course, doesn't exist.

When it's "live" you'd find it easiest to do this,

'/wp-content/themes/occupation/images/Box-gld-sbar-lowres.png'

Note the leading slash. That would mean "start at the domain root and follow this path." It would work for any "virtual" subdirectory.

But since you're in a dev environment, you'll have to do something else, like

'/occupy/dev/wp/wp-content/themes/occupation/images/Box-gld-sbar-lowres.png'

... which may be difficult if you have lots of such references. It looks like you're assigning this in the admin widget, so that might be the best solution. For your CSS, do a search and replace for all images in the same way, like so

background:url(/occupy/dev/wp/wp-content/themes/occupation/images/some-bg-image.jpg) top left no-repeat;
