Wordpress PNG Fix Plugin

I’m sure I’m late off the block on this but since I have the tendency to use WordPress quite a bit in my development of sites these days, I wanted a simple solution for the IE6 PNG issue and I found one. It’s from Unit Interactive and all you have to do is install the plugin and activate and not worry about a thing. I like that type of solution—quick and easy.

Download the plugin here.

    Hey there,
    I downloaded this plugin and wasn’t successful at installing it. I have to ask you this – is there any way where I can create a transparent white background in my wordpress. I have a cool background and I do not want to cover it up. It is at http://www.happycobrand.com. I have to say that finding a solution is like figuring out how to turn lead into gold. For now my site looks kind of ugly and you cannot see the text. But it would be so cool if I could just get the transparent white background. I would also prefer if it had rounded corners. I tried the standard “background{ url(/img/happybg.png) repeat-y;” but nothing happened. Also tried to link up the javascript file in my header.php that you had mentioned above but no luck. I am tearing the hair out of my head and if you had a solution you would be a hero and would owe you a great favor- preferrably graphic design- even though I think that your blog design totally rocks. So please let me know if there is an actual solution or if I have to fake the appearance of transparency in wordpress. Thanks a mill. Jonathan

    Re :Jonathan Ortiz
    this plugin work fine for me but may <>

    i think you can set white color for container background, and then change the opacity of it:

    #container{
    background-color:#ffffff;
    filter:alpha(opacity=50); /* need for ie6 */
    -moz-opacity:0.5; /* Netscape*/
    -khtml-opacity: 0.5; /* Safari (1.x) */
    opacity: 0.5; /* standard browser ,Firefox, ie7, Safari ,*/
    }
