Harlowe 3.1 Background Images Not Appearing

So I am able to add background images to my Twine story, but they do not appear when shared publicly. The images show up when I’m going through it on my computer, but when other people play through it on their own computers, none of them appear. Everything else works except them. Here’s the code I’m using, for reference

tw-story[tags~=“Tag Here”] {
background-image: url(“URL goes here (using Google Photos as image hosting)”);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}

You state you are using Google Photos to host your images, have you configured those ‘photos’ to be shareable with the those people you are supplying your story HTML file to?

Google Photos - Share photos & videos

Yep, that was the problem. Sorry for the very late reply but yes, this was it. Thanks so much!

One good way to test is to open an “incognito” or “private” browsing window: Ctrl-Shift-N in Chrome, Ctrl-P in Firefox. In a private browsing window you won’t be logged in, so you can see what will happen if someone else tries to look at it…
