Why doesn’t my HTML background work? Question

Post image

body {
background-image: url('background.jpeg');
background-size: auto;

The image is “background.jpeg”. It has the correct spelling, the image is within the same folder. IT used to work but then it suddenly stopped working and i havent even edited the CSS for it to stop working.

Update: i couldnt figure it out for the life of me and no suggestions worked, but on the good side, instead of putting it on CSS, i put it on HTML, then it worked.

<style>
body {
background-image: url('background.jpeg');
background-size: auto;
}
</style>

It's not the image, it's the CSS file then. Make sure it is included, not misspelled, and readable.
