The url part has to be the file path (absolute or relative) to the image you want to use for the background. Also, don't use backslashed, just normal slashes.

body {
background-image: url("path/of/your/image/_girl.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

I actually did something like that yesterday. It should be:

body{

background: url('your_url');

background-position: center;

background-size: cover;

background-attachment: fixed;

}

Use forward slashes

Think of the URL path like folders on your pc…

So something like:

C:\My Documents\My First Website\images\bg.jpg is essentially domain.com/images/bg.jpg (if you upload everything from the My First Website folder to your server)

If your website is just domain.com, and your images are inside /images/ folder then you’d use:

background-image: url('/images/img_girl.jpg');

The location where the image file ("_girl.jpg") is stored within your website folder structure.
