I just updated WordPress to 3.3 and for some reason my background image is completely gone and it's just all white.
I have disabled all plugins to see if there was an issue, and even re upping the image, but the background just remains a very stark whitel

Hopefully someone has a fix on this one since I've tried everything I can think of.
Thanks,

Have you tried:
- switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
- resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

it's the theme. that sucks since it worked great with 3.2.1. Is there a way to revert back to that version of wordpress (3.2.1) in the interim?
Thanks so much for your quick response and help!
Curt
Not without a pre-upgrade database backup. And we don't recommend rolling back to an older version. Your best option is to look for another theme.

Gooma2, which theme are you using?
Edit: To answer myself, based on the HTML you have Yamidoo PRO and the background image you want to use is http://bestmoviesevernews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Paranormal-Activity-Now-Playing.jpg.
I'd recommend making sure the theme author's support is informed of the incompatibility with WP 3.3. They say they will update it as soon as possible:
"10. How often are your themes updated?
Each time a new version of WordPress is released, we check our themes for compatibility with the new version, and we update them if this is required. Also we update our themes any time we discover a bug or a new feature has been added to the theme.
All updates and new versions are free of charge for existing customers. "

thanks Daedalon,
I had actually attempted to revert back to 3.2.1, but that didn't quite work out. I'm noticing on several themes, this 3.3 is causing an issue with background images so a lot of theme workers will be having to do some updates to catch up.

I know what you mean blitz. When someone just says 'Oh change your theme', many times they don't realize that some of us have pretty big sites that have been customized to a tee so change doesn't always come so easy.
I've even tried adding background image through css file, but still a stark white background with nothing changing. At least with more and more people announcing this issue, maybe rather than saying 'just change your theme', they'll look into this finally.

I have the same problem...this is a nightmare for me...just to say "change your theme" is so.... it would help to know what element is causing this.

Here is a quick fix. Should work for all themes.
Edit your header.php and add <?php body_class(); ?> inside your body declaration tag. For example, if you currently have this: <body> you should change it to: <body <?php body_class(); ?>>

I have this issue also, no background image. I tried adding the <body <?php body_class(); ?>>, but it was already there. I tried setting the background image in CSS, but no effect. Tried the trick to turn off plugins, and switched to theme 20 11. All the same. Any advice?

The beysim solution don't work for me...

Hi guyz
can you check from fire bug that the image is applying or not?
Posted 5 months ago #
Elan
It looks like it is not loading, only assigning a color.
Posted 5 months ago #
The image you set from css is not applying where you added the image? Because if the fire bug is not showing that is wrong location or after space add this !important on that image.
Hope this work

OK. I got the image to display by adding it to the css. I also had to reupload the picture through ftp. It seems that the uploader on the page for the background did not work.

it doesn't work in any way for me. customized theme. in html works perfectly. once converted in wordpress it only assigns color. it can not be the ftp because it's a local installation of wordpress. without any kind of errors during the installation.
Please post a new topic.
