Pseudo classes before and after won’t show up unless they have some content even if that content is "".

You’ll need to add this to your css style content:""

.showcase::after{
  height: 100vh;
  width: 100%;
  background-image: url("https://thecanyonmalibu.com/wp-content/uploads/marijuana-1.jpg");
  background-size: cover;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  display: block;
  content:"";
}

@alhazen1 thank you. but I still have an issues. I wanted the photo to be blur and if you hover on it is suppose bright but it’s not working. below are my code:

.showcase::after{
  content:"";
  height: 100vh;
  width: 100%;
  background-image: url("/img/code.jpg");
  background-size: cover;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  display: block;
  filter: blur(10px);
  -webkit-filter: blur(10px);
  transition: all 1000ms;
}

.showcase:hover::after{
  filter: blur(0px);
  -webkit-filter: blur(0px);
}

Works for me, just remember the hover is on the element, not the pseudo element, so it will un-blur when you hover on .showcase, not just when you hover on the pseudo element.

Is there a reason why you are using a pseudo element?

@lasjorg there no reason for it, am just trying experiment things to see how they work. I try running the codes on codepen its work perfectly fine. but misbehaving on my local machine, I don’t know the reason for that. am using atom as my editor and firefox and chrome to run the codes. please do have any idea what maybe the case or issue? thank you.

I can’t possibly know why it’s not working on your local system, I would say to double check your code is the same. One random guess I can make is that maybe you have the hover on the pseudo element and not the actual element.

/* Needs to be like this */
.showcase:hover::after

/* Not like this */
.showcase::after:hover

@lasjorg alright, thanks a lot for your time, I really appreciate it.
