I'm trying to import a background image, and it shows the file name, but it does not show up. I put it in Ortho view but it still wouldn't show. I tried with lots of images just to make sure the image was corrupted or something.
Any ideas?

1$\begingroup$ make sure, that the viewport view matches your view setting of your background image, so both top for example $\endgroup$ – Faceb Faceb Dec 23 '16 at 20:08

5$\begingroup$ Do note that background image will be visible only in preset orthographic views (Numpad1, Numpad3, Numpad7). See blender.stackexchange.com/questions/118/… $\endgroup$ – Mr Zak Dec 23 '16 at 21:19

Background images will only be displayed in
Camera Prespective view (Numpad 0)
Any of the Preset Orthographic views
Front/Back (Numpad 1 or CtrlNumpad 1)
Right /Left (Numpad 3 or CtrlNumpad 3)
Top/Bottom (Numpad 7 or CtrlNumpad 7)
Background images will not show in perspective view.
To switch between Perspective and Orthographic view use Numpad 5
Background images are used for reference only and will not be part of the final render.
