Ok this has been bugging me for a while ,after searching alot in the web I found that this should work in index.css

body {
    background-image: url(../src/components/images/photo.jpeg) no-repeat center center 
    fixed; 
    -webkit-background-size: cover;
    -moz-background-size: cover;
    -o-background-size: cover;
    background-size: cover;
}

However it apparently doenst work .Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

You're using long-hand syntax, and this doesn't support other values except url. So, just use:

background-image: url(../src/components/images/photo.jpeg)

Further, a better approach to use images from public folder, so you can use like this:

background-image: url(/images/photo.jpeg)

To add other values, use:

background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;

To use short-hand syntax, use:

background: url(/images/photo.jpeg) no-repeat center center fixed;

  • I tryed your approach aswell, no changes in my background still empty screen.I only need to add it to index.css and then it should work right?

  • You can use my approach from anywhere but the style should be binding in the component.

  • I am not sure I follow. I want my whole body to have this background Image, do I need to set anything in my App.js? doesnt setting body with your approach on index.css cover it?

  • I finally figured it out.I had imported this line to my index.js file import 'semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.css'; and this was messing with my css
