Love it – thanks for the information.
It does not seem to be working. Is something missing?
body {
position: relative !important;
}
body:before {
content: ”;
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
pointer-events: none;
background-image: url(https://divi.space/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/hearts.png);
animation: falling-hearts 18s linear infinite;
}
@keyframes falling-hearts {
0% {background-position: 0% 30%;}
}
@-moz-keyframes falling-hearts {
0% {background-position: 0% 30%;}
}
@-webkit-keyframes falling-hearts {
0% {background-position: 0% 30%;}
}
Hello Emma, please change 5 line to content:'';
Thanks for the love!
Nice effect and easy to implement
You might consider using the HTML < code > element to display the CSS so the character encoding for the quotes/apostrophe characters in the content and background-image use the correct character encoding.. After copying and pasting your CSS I had to fix the quote characters in order to get the CSS to work.
Cheers!

Thank you Jules. good catch!
Works terrific. A super easy CSS drop to impress clients. Thanks SJ!
How adorable! Okay, just tried it and it didn’t work for me 🙁 Help! 🙂
Stephen,
Didn’t work. 🙁
I added it to the homepage only with no success and added to the site globally with no success.
I believe I followed your instructions but I’ve been known to be wrong before.
Any ideas of what I did wrong?

Doing a big valentines sale tomorrow. Would really like to get this to work. and tips? Copy and paste seems pretty simple so… no idea why its not working..

This is really so awesome!
Thanks so much!
This doesn’t work for me at all.
Thank you Jeremy for a comment! Please send me a link to your website and I will investigate what’s wrong with the code 🙂
I have updated the CSS code and works fine! I’ve noticed that content ''; was replaced with content ‘’; . Leaving here to other people that may have a similar issue ?
Enjoy!
Works for me! Thank you for tutorial.
Works! <3
Worked the second time of asking thanks so much

Can I replace the heart with another item? I tried it by replacing the background image but it turns out that the animation is not the same. How to adjust the animation? Thank you.
Hi Candy, yes you can replace background image. If you want to have the same animation effect, create image similar to the original https://divi.space/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/hearts.png
Can this be applied to a section only?
