    Hello

    I installed the newest version of WP last night (Dec 13) an as soon as I did so the Custom Background that I have used / I am using occurring to the “Appearance” menu under Background is NOT visible on our site when it is LIVE !

    I refreshed everything, re-uploaded the Background and I also removed it and simply tried to choose 1 colour and this does not change either.

    Therefore the background is White and acting like it is set to “None”, however it is.

    I find the background part with the theme coding – but did not try to change it there.

    Please fix this glitch in the update ASAP – I know it resulted form the update !

    It’s certainly due to the update and has affected numerous themes. There was a fix on one site I noticed but this affects the site in other ways too so not quite good enough. Real pain and has cost me a few hours already today.

    Actually it’s your theme setting things in bad CSS.

    Open header.php and locate your <body> tag. Change this value to <body <?php body_class(''); ?>>

    Hello Ipstenu

    I tried what you said: I went into header.php and found the <body> tag and replaced it with:

    <body <?php body_class(”); ?>>

    and saved header.php and isn’t of our custom background that I was hoping to see instead in the top left corner of the home page I saw / see the following:

    class=”home blog logged-in custom-background”>

    So, the fix appears really close — am I missing something in where to place and or what you gave for the fix ?

    Thank you in advance again for your help 🙂
