Pseudo element not showing background-image

Question

Why is my background-image inside the pseudo element ::before not showing up? I also tested of replacing the background-image with a background-color and it still doesn't work. This is in SASS format in case some would be wondering of the nested ::before.

 .logoframe{ float: left; height: 817px; width: 20%; position: relative; left: -6%; transform: skewX(-11deg); border: 1px solid #e26f6f; &::before{ content: ""; background-image: url('/images/theseven/seven_img_old.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; height: 817px; width: 150px; } }

 <div class="logoframe"></div>

Answer 1

the "display" property. display is CSS's most important property for controlling layout. Every element has a default display value depending on what type of element it is. The default for most elements is usually block or inline . A block element is often called a block-level element.

   &::before{
        content: "";
        display: block;/*missing prop*/
        background-image: url('/images/theseven/seven_img_old.png');
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        position: relative;
        height: 817px;
        width: 150px;
    }

You should update below css part. if you need background image in center please update background-position.

 .logoframe{ float: left; height: 817px; width: 20%; position: relative; left: 0; transform: skewX(-11deg); border: 1px solid #e26f6f; } .logoframe:before { content: ""; background: url('https://n2.sdlcdn.com/imgs/a/a/1/Chromozome_Yamaha_102025_m_1_2x-4ab77.jpg') 0 0 no-repeat;/* replace 0 0 to center center */ background-repeat: no-repeat; position: absolute; background-size:contain; top:0; left:0; height: 817px; width: 100%; }

 <div class="logoframe"></div>

Sometimes you need to add background-size property too with display: block.

&::before{
        content: "";
        background-image: url('/images/theseven/seven_img_old.png');
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-size:100%;
        position: relative;
        height: 817px;
        width: 150px;
        display:block;
      }

I don't know if this helps but sometimes if you are using the shortcuts for the background property it might not work, but if you use the properties differently I think it might work. I am saying this from experience.

.showcase::before {
  content: '';
  background-image: url(../images/Desert.jpg) no-repeat center center/cover;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  z-index: -1;
}

But this one did.

.showcase::before {
  content: '';
  background-image: url(../images/Desert.jpg);
  position: absolute;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  z-index: -1;
}
