Background image now blank.

The background image on my client's home page has now disappeared. It says it is loaded on my end, but shows a blank white slate both in the backend and on the live site. Now on the live site, I can see the correct image hidden behind when I scroll down above the header!

I also have a colourful blue/green footer (same as the header) which is no longer showing. I have not made any additional changes, these have happened automatically.

Help! (FYI I have SquareKicker if necessary)

I have a similar problem! Background images suddenly don't get displayed anymore.

It only gets displayed when I activate an Image Effect for the background image. For the moment I did that to fix it. I used Film Grain but I put everything to zero without animation because this way it looks like a normal image without any effect.

My main site where I used the grain effect now to fix the problem:
https://groundofaces.com/ 

A 2nd older version of the same site where I didn't change anything and now suddenly the background images don't get displayed:
https://www.groundofaces.com/airbase

But in general, it seems to have loading issue and also seems to have changed the height of the sections. We didn't change anything on the site the last few days.

I contacted Squarespace support via live chat. Apparently something in our Code Injection custom code is causing the issue. The background images do get displayed when they run it in "safe mode" which temporarily suspends all Code Injection to the website.

EDIT:
I didn't change anything in the code injection yet and now suddenly the backgrounds are back on the live site. 😅 I don't know what exactly is going on. I now changed all backgrounds back to have "none" image effect.

I was having this issue, too. After seeing this thread I checked my injection code and the issue appeared to be some code that I had placed in my Header injection area. When I went back to my original download link to see if the developer had made any updates I realized that I had missed a message that had come from him a while back alerting me to an update in the code. Once I followed his instructions to replace the code in my header and footer injection areas...BOOM. All looks and works great again.
