    I was able to change the background to an image I uploaded just fine, but then I updated to 3.3 and it went back to the default background. Now I can’t change it. It looks fine in the edit window – with the updated background – but when I view the page it is still on default that came with the theme. What is going on?

    I see in your source code that you have this:

    <style type="text/css">
body.custom-background { background-color: #ddf3f9; background-image: url('http://www.adornphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/MCB-FreeBlogBackground-GreyLinen52.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top center; background-attachment: fixed; }
</style>

    This line specifies that the body tag with a class of custom-background should have the grey lines photo. That’s the one you want right?

    A bit lower down, I can see that your body tag doesn’t have that class.

    What I would do is go to Appearance > Editor
    Go to the header.php

    Look for <body>
    and change it to
    <body class=”custom-background”>

    That should fix it. Your theme is most likely old and not using the right kind of code anymore.

    here?

    body {
    background: #eaf6f7 url(images/bg_pattern.png) repeat;
    color: #999999;
    font-size: 13px;
    font-family: Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif;
    line-height: 20px;
    margin: 0px auto 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    }

    No, that code is in your style.css.

    You need to edit the header.php file
