# add custom background function for multisite theme

 * Scouring the internet with no avail. When implementing the `add_custom_background`
   to my functions.php file -the image uploader does not work. Color picker works
   but not the image upload.
 * I am testing on two local installs. First on a custom theme with multisite enabled
   and one on default install using TwentyTen. The background image does not store…
   what is up?
 * Thanks in advance to this wonderful community!

 * Fixing the .htaccess rewrite rules as in [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-are-not-uploading-into-correct-file-1?replies=20#post-1712849](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-are-not-uploading-into-correct-file-1?replies=20#post-1712849)
   above fixed the custom background, though not the other image issues – yet.
 * Fixing the rest of the .htaccess like this: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-are-not-uploading-into-correct-file-1?replies=20#post-1713882](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-are-not-uploading-into-correct-file-1?replies=20#post-1713882)
   fixed the other image issues as well.
 * Thanks to the pirate & half-elf! 😉

 * circlereader,
 * I did not find the cause of my issue. I did an uninstall and re-install and my
   issues were resolved. I’m fairly sure my problems lay with my own doing. Most
   likely somewhere in the .htaccess arena…
 * Good luck, please post something if you discover anything.

 * Sounds like your .htaccess got fixed in the re-install. (??) Glad you are up 
   an running again!
