    Hello Background Manager Crew,

    The Background Manager plugin is not showing up in my theme, I hope you can help me out. These are the steps I took.

    1. I downloaded your plugin in my own theme.
    2. Activated the plugin.
    3. I added 8 pictures in an image-set and saved it.
    4. In Settings page I activated the Background Image Set and set the background layout size to fullscreen. I also added a yellow background color.
    5. At this point I thought the plugin would work. Nothing in the background changed.

    As I said at the start I work from a selfcreated theme. I have no trouble with other plugins. The website is running on a localhost (XAMPP).

    I did the Debug, here is the output:

    Hi!

    Sorry to hear that! In the theme, do you have wp_footer(); in your footer.php (or similar) file? Background Manager needs that function present in the footer.

    Tnx for your reply Myatu. I figured out the solution.

    1. I placed add_custom_background(); in the functions.php. (Background Mananger worked but didn’t show fullscreen mode)

    2. I placed this code before the </head> in header.php
    <?php

    if ( is_singular() && get_option( ‘thread_comments’ ) )
    wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ );

    wp_head();
    ?>

    3. In the file footer.php before the </body> I placed this code.

    <?php

    wp_footer();
    ?>

    Background Manager is fully operational. 🙂

    Brilliant! Glad you got it working!

    Then I will have a look into why this was required, so it won’t happen again 😉

    Thanks!

    Having this same problem with my theme.
    I had wp_footer(); in my footer.php

    Adding add_custom_background(); in the functions.php didn’t change anything

    I tried adding `<?php

    if ( is_singular() && get_option( ‘thread_comments’ ) )
    wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ );

    wp_head();
    ?>

    3. In the file footer.php before the </body> I placed this code.

    <?php

    wp_footer();
    ?>`in the header.php but it broke my site (didn’t load at all)

    I’m running the Templgate Theme located here: http://ablemagazine.co.uk/

    I got that code added to my header.php (it was a conflict with one of my plugins).

    Still didn’t fix the problem I was having though.
