I just started creating e-books in InDesign and I am running into issues with background graphics. My background image keeps showing up on a separte page. Do you have a suggestion how to fix it? I tried different layers, anchoring before the mountain icon, anchoring in the text box on the page before, grouping the images etc.

Fixed ePUB yes, but reflowable epub: you should not do this. Simple epub readers don't want to do this.
