Background image not showing CSS

Question

I would like to have a background-image on my website. For some reason when I use a placeholder ( background: url(http://via.placeholder.com/1920x500) no-repeat center top;) , the placeholder appears with no issues, but when I use the image sitting on my laptop... It does not show. Below is how I display the image:

background: url("/images/about.jpeg") no-repeat center top;

I also tried:

background-image: url("/images/about.jpeg") no-repeat center top;

and I get the same result. Please assist the new guy to CSS

Below is the file structure:

Answer 1

If your stylesheet is inside the CSS folder, the CSS rule should be like this:

background: url("../images/about.jpeg") no-repeat center top;

ie, go out of the "css" folder and into the "images" folder

Answer 2

css file is unable to locate your image.

you have to change your image url to

url("../image_url")
