double check your img path

So if the image is in the same directory as the css file the path would just be 'example-image.jpg'. If the images are all kept within an image folder (for example 'images') you would need to specify the path with the folder name like this 'images/example-image.jpg'. Now if the file you are calling the image from is within a folder like a css folder then you may need to go up through directories using ../ eg ../example-image.jpg
Sometimes you may need to do both ../images/example-image.jpg
/folder-name/ (move in to folder) ../ (goes up one directory can be used multiple times for multiple directories) ../../../../
I hope this makes sense, you just need to know where your images is in relation to your HTML or CSS files that you are calling it in to.

13,520 PointsOk now they have an image they want to add to the site called cupcake.jpg and it is in a folder called img so you need to use an image tag within the body tags of the HTML to call it. <img src="cupcake.jpg"/> (This will not work because the image is in the img folder and not the root of the site) <img src="img/cupcake.jpg"/> (You will need to use this) I hope that makes sense.
Steven Litton
13,520 PointsAh sorry - you can't HTML markup in here. You need to target the image src using img/cupcaske.jpg
